Gee Jeanne-
If this wasn't a blatant "ad hominem" attack on ME I don't know what
is. And that's always you're biggest gripe about people and how it should
happen in email. Well you didn't email me, you just publicly attacked me
personally. I guess I shouldn't be surprised but I am.
No, my discussions with you never had anything to do with your effort
to get me disconnected from aol. I just felt I had to support another who
you made the same attempt on concerning their edu. account. ( and it
seems that this thread which has concerned repeatedly the issue of people
using edu. accounts for non university business has gone a long way
towards quashing your screams on that issue).
Your "strongly opinionated" comments were not about money dancing.
They were about the PEOPLE who follow that tradition- ALL of the people,
regardless of their heritage or motives. And yes I could ignore anyone
who attacked a tradition without slandering everyone who would/had/will
follow the tradition.
There's no conflict here.
No, Jeanne, after all this time you still don't get it. My issue with
you was your condemning an entire group of people indiscriminately, (your
"all money dancers are greedy money grubbers" statement) vs. condemning a
tradition you don't like which would be, as below,"barbaric, raunchy,
sleazy and tacky" custom." It's fine to denigrate the tradition, but not
fine to degrade ANYONE who would ever follow it. Seems that you're really
the queen of personal attacks afterall.
Just like when you've tried/threaten to censor me and others on this
group because you don't like our views.
