Blimey! S-S! is getting a beating and a half from kleines and ff (deservedly so, IMO). Richard had a hand in this too, I see. Anyone who'd like to pull up a chair, it's on the Classical Brittania thread on the Platform 3 board.

Oh Gawd. I shouldn't have gone and looked. That was horrible. Don't recommend it unless at school you were one of those kids who stood at the window watching the others beat the living daylights out of each other for no remotely good reason.
(Oh, yes, fair point. Actually even if you were I don't recommend it.)

Quite, Ollie. Don't go there, anybody. Ok? It's a far from pretty sight.

Also, I see Lord B has pronounced himself excommunicated form this forum over there. Is that right, John? He says he's been modded or something. Sigh.  |

Oh. I did not mod Lord Byron. Today I PM'd him and I asked if he was trying to wind up anyone with his recent messages, the ones with just smileys, nuff said, nice concert, sultrylouise, nice girls etc etc. He said 'No' and said he was leaving. Was I too hard on him ? The Classic Britania thread has gone ghastly. I've forgotten who S-S and NOT Veronika ARE over here? But maybe I can guess I'm glad we have an Argument section here (good idea Michael). Funny, after it's creation, that nothing ever ended up IN it! (very good idea Michael  ) |

Did it happen in the end? Is there nothing in it? I would like to have my access to it enabled, just in case - don't want to miss anything juicy. Guys, is my tolerance level much higher than you three's? I've just looked at the last 2 pages of that thread over at TOP and I can't see anything particularly nasty ... |

I didn't know that Not Veronika was over here....I can't guess who, although I do know which is Simon. Simon is doing a more than fair job of sticking up for himself over there. It doesn't seem what I'd call "nasty". Heated exchanges between ff and Simon are historical events. |

I would like to have my access to it enabled, just in case - don't want to miss anything juicy. tin, I will enable your access if anything ever appears in the argument section but there has not been even a sniff at it. I think Anna was closest but, well, there was very soon no argument  |

For those in any doubt, I'm not Veronika Lenz (although I used to be).
I don't think it's that nasty over there either. It's just ff and c making a few perfectly reasonable things clear.
I wish I'd seen that programme now.
Or do I?

You're probably right there, tinners. Perhaps it's just that I'm less used to borderline abuse here, and have got soft. Not that accusations of insulting and bigotted language are unknown here; but that the way we seem to deal with them 99% of the time is rather less demented.  |

Simon's views on politics and contemporary music/culture are diametrically opposed to mine, but at least he doesn't pretend they are anything other than opinions. Give me that over cloying consensus, stifled lack-of-debate through fear of rocking the boat, anyday. That perspective he presents is shared by an awful lot of people outside of the pampered world of woolly liberal new musicos, and it should be heard and debated. |
