At the end of the day, Jason can play the **** out of the guitar.
A forum is a place for discussion/sharing. I am not trying to compete with Jason or anyone else...I am trying to complement anything they post. Jason, said it himself...Flamenco is bigger than all of us.
YOU cannot afford to learn from only one person...no matter how good they are.
I only want to share my PERSPECTIVE. _
At the end of the day, the above quote is a total non sequitur. That someone can "play the **** out of the guitar" is irrelevant to this discussion. We have someone who was involved in a pissing match with others who decided that he would pick up his marbles and go. He didn't even have the decency to pick an original name for his forum; he piggybacked on the forum that has provided him with a platform to express his views in the past and appropriated its name for his own "alternative" forum.
You are correct that "a forum is a place for discussion/sharing." Unfortunately, there are three or four individuals participating in this forum (I'm sure we all know who they are) who go way beyond "discussion/sharing," and try to impose their views on others, at times in a most obnoxious manner. This forum is far too valuable a resource to be used as a platform for the working out of petty differences between prima donnas, whether or not they are advanced guitaristas or Ph.D. candidates. I think I speak for many members of this forum when I say it leaves us cold. My own desire is for those who fit said description to follow suit, pick up your marbles, and gravitate to the newly-formed "alternative" forum, leaving this one for those of us who love flamenco and the camaraderie that goes with a genuine sharing of ideas.
Cheers,
Bill

If you had been paying attention to any of Jason's posts over the last month or so you might have realised the extent of his contribution to this forum. He provided detailed information about playing flamenco guitar to a degree that not many posters make. Let's face it, most of the guitarists on this forum would be hard pressed to provide a decent interpretation of something out of Juan Martin's study book. And we had Jason who was willing to hang out here and provide us with advice from the coal-face, as it were. Clearly a couple of posters got on Jason's nerves but he remained reasonably polite with them. And making critical comments about someone who is calling himself a professional guitar player/teacher but plays like a beginner is entirely justified.
I would guess that Jason feels somewhat disappointed with the lack of any support by admin.
