Subject: Insulting notes 
  
John Gleeson tells Carlos Rojas; 
"This above posting has to be one of the most ass. . . .ine statements ever 
made to this list !" 
  
  
It seems to me that Carlos politely gave his opinion about a tango subject. His opinion could be right or wrong, (I happen to believe that it is wrong) but this is irrelevant. 
  
Then we have John Gleeson who writes an insulting E-mail, there is no substantiation of his opinion on the matter, he just insults. 
  
We have seen similar notes from Michael Figart II and also from Rick McGarvey. 
  
It happens that those that act as described above offend valuable contributors to the list. 
  
It is also obvious that they have little knowledge and experience with tango in general. 
  
Rick went to Buenos Aires for the first time about a year ago he acknowledged that he knew little tango. He started sending daily reports of "his" interpretation of milongas codes. The whole thing was a real joke culminating with the note on the "singing meat pies". 
  
Michael Figart II, his pitiful act is so recent that needs no further clarification. 
  
John Gleeson has a failed tango group in New Hampshire. He attempted to start a tango group that failed (see his web page). https://john.gleeson.home.comcast.net/ 
  
Now he entertains himself sending insulting notes. 
  
My question is for how long should we allow this sort of behavior to continue. 
We allow this to happen by remaining silent and in the process we keep losing the most valuable contributors to our tango list.

Jay Jenkins has issued a call to arms and among other things wrote or rather 
insulted, needless to say without any clarification thus:

 I thought and continue to think that Michael's posts were well reasoned.

This is getting interesting with all the aspersions being cast around. 
Now with the exitment of the Tango festival being over perhaps some of us 
are a little wound up. 
Might I suggest a nice coffee enema to help relax. 
  
Now that I have posted to this string the moderators will allow this message

My two cents.

 My question is why are you the arbiter of who makes 
"valuable" contributions and who doesn't? 
  
Now I happen to agree with your opinions of the 
individuals in question. However, I'm a big fan of 
using the delete key or filters, rather than of 
letting you or anyone else determine who gets to post 
and in what style they are required to do so.

Hi Ilona and the list. 
The main think here is ,that you do not know what is 
in there until you open the mail. 
The filter should be in their keyboard. 
I agreed with Jay: We should report to the list what 
we know about this particular individuals that hide 
them self behind a computer talking sh.. and atacking 
,when they are SO poor dancers 
Lets bring back the moderator!!!!

Please, lets not bring back the dreaded moderators. This forum as most 
others works very well without censorship. The list was moderated before and 
it was a terrible thing. The supermoderator took it upon himself to silence 
and censor some folks at his whim. I hated that and I hate it worse than the 
worst insults and stupid posts. 
  
I suggest to leave the list unmoderated and learn to use the "delete" button 
in the keyboard. Perhaps one change that might help is to ask people to only 
post and participate under their own name. Maybe if folks could not hide 
behind a veil of annonimity, they would be more thoughtful about what they 
type. It's much harder to hurl insults and vituperations when one must do it 
in one's own name and have to stand by one's words. 
  
Otherwise, please lets no go back to the bad old days of censorship 
(moderation). I might not agree with many of the things posted and I might 
not like of some of the opinions posted, but I rather use my own discretion 
and intellect as a filter and send the offending messages to the trash heap!

The supermoderator took it upon himself to silence 
and censor some folks  at his whim. I hated that and I hate it worse than the 
worst insults and  stupid posts. UNQUOTE 
  
I was a victim of the supermoderator, and would not want to go back to that 
system, PLEASE! 
  
Manuel also wrote: QUOTE - 
I suggest to leave the list unmoderated and learn to use the "delete"  button 
in the keyboard. Perhaps one change that might help is to ask people  to only 
post and participate under their own name. Maybe if folks could not  hide 
behind a veil of annonimity, they would be more thoughtful about what  they 
type. It's much harder to hurl insults and vituperations when one must  do it 
in one's own name and have to stand by one's words. UNQUOTE 
  
I agree with Manuel, and I also suggest the use of the "delete" key to  trash 
all undesireable messages.  It is not hard to find on your keyboard  and it 
works.
