Have fun! I just would like to thank you for sharing your thoughts.
It felt as if someone turned the table upside down just as we
were about leave after a small chat over a cup of tea.
I dont know about fights at milongas where Al& Barbara
think there is always an argentanian involved(the fights I
do know are mostly between a man and a woman marked
by icy looks -- a kind of cold war, violence by silence, rather
than the pub brawl) but over the internet there always seems
to be an american invovled ;-)
BTW, all the postings that I sent which would have added
more fuel to the fire were bounced back for execeeding the daily
quota... not that they would have necessarily done any good.
Cheers!
rajan.

I've danced all different styles to all different music. Tango is
intense and ethereal, precise and totally free, sensual and
intellectual, at the same time. I think the range of expressive
possibilities is unparalleled.

Subject: Manners, again.
Listeros:
I only write today to protest the use, or reference to, my name on the
Tango-L, by Sergio Suppa.
I do not understand the reference. Other than being personally attacked by
him, both on the Tango-L and in private E-mails sent by him to my address,
I have never exchanged even one word of communication to him, in any
manner, about any subject, at any time. Neither have I had any other
communication with any other individual, about Sergio Suppa.
In fact, I would never respond to him after seeing the way he operates and
noting his anger and verbal violence previously, in spite of accusations
and insults he has directed my way.
So, dear members, why my name was mentioned I do not know, but it certainly
has nothing to do with anything he is currently ranting about.
Sorry to take your time with this.

Subject: Correction
Sorry for the bandwidth. I must correct myself to say that I did send a
complimentary, one-sentence message to Sergio Suppa some weeks ago, saying
I agreed with something he said.
Otherwise, my disclaimer about not have anything to do with his current
situation, and not wanting to be associated by having my name referenced in
his e-mail to the List, stands as written.

Subject: Something does not make any sense.
This will be my last posting. I really cannot deal with so much irrational
behavior.
I apologize for writing about personal matters. * You may delete now*
1-Dustin Newcomb's posting.
2-Steve Hoffman's.
He started sending me E-mails to tell me "thank you for your posting" "it
was very interesting."
I sent him only one answer stating:
That, among other things I was now doing a sociological investigation, to
see how difficult it was to stablish a meaningful relationship with
strangers, here in Argentina. I said that I found that very easy. I also
sent him autobiographical data; since both of as share the same profession.
He never answered. apparently he thought that the note was a personal
attack. NON SENSE! I know now, why he cannot meet people. :-)
I then mentioned to tango-L that I had answered a note from Steve
Hoffman,(the one where he stated that in Argentina it was impossible to meet
people) I posted in both lines and that the one in ATOF was rejected
"because I had answered to someone that was not subscribed to that
list.(Steve Hoffman)." Is this an attack? Obviously not. Or maybe I am going
crazy?.
Now Steve is very upset because I mentioned his name. Does this make any
sense?. Not to me.
I think that there is need for more psychotherapists around there.
Best wishes to you all. Signing off.
