No one has said anything, but it might seem (at least I could understand if it it was thought) that I was pretty strident in my post earlier today.
Since I pushed "send" on that one, I have been thinking it would have been good if I had at least provided a tiny bit of background at least in parenthesis. Earlier this week, I had off-group communication with Mr. Floyd B., in which I told him I knew him to be a nice person and did not wish to make personal comments in any way; but yet I was concerned for new people to tango who might read his convoluted posts and think they made sense. Because he is a nice guy, why wouldn't his sincere pontifications seem impressive to the unknowing? Of course anyone can write whatever they want here. But most people will say: In my opinion; perhaps; it seems to me; etc. When someone is always saying Tango must; it is; it should; etc., well ... I retract not a word from my 2 posts asking people to look at the videos and consider the source of all the "wisdom." As I told him personally - they call the credibility of the writer of the maxims into question. I was pleading with him not to keep spreading it thicker. If it keeps coming as if from on high, from someone who demonstrably doesn't know, expressed as infallible "truth," I'll be back saying, B.S. If I may. With your kind indulgence. :-) k _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
