I am sorry you find this thread shocking, but as of yet nothing detrimental has been said regarding the dancers from Taylor�s school. In fact all posters here and on other boards have wished them all well, and hope to see them all compete at the worlds. Every one of these dancers can be proud of themselves, 1) for qualifing, and 2) for finding a way to continue to represent themselves, their past (Taylor) and present school at the worlds. As my other posts recently said the issue people are discussing is to do with rule application. It would appear from someone signed as �not a member of that class� that the rule concerned may not be applicable as the dancers were not committed to the school they viewed and therefore there is no problem regarding their competing. (more inside) -- For the love of the dance

Personally I would rather see open discussions of rules and such instead of nasty behind the back gossiping, when issues of this nature arise. Quite gossip still gets passed on and, as a Chinese whisper either gets blown out of proportion or much worse reputations are ruined and no-one gets to the truth. Please appreciate that removal of this thread will not suddenly stop anyone debating the topic, but it will stop people being able to correct any wrong information getting passed around. Please read my other post to see what is acceptable to post in this discussion. Anyone abusing that will be banned.As I am lucky enough not to be hard of hearing, there is no need to shout, I would also appreciate not being threatened with legal action as I know that neither speculation nor gossip are illegal, unless insulting, inflammatory and/or offensive.I agree that this makes life difficult as what one person may consider offensive another may not, and in the end it may come down to the personal view of a judge on the day, but ID could really do without the type of publicity that court cases and such would bring and unless we can bug everyone going to every feis we can�t control gossip, but by open discussion we can stop damage being done by it. And more importantly insure more people get the truth.

[> [> [> [> I think the fact this debate has been removed from 2 other forums yet still continues here, confirms there is a genuine debate to be had about the rules and how they are applied. There is no ill-feeling towards any dancers or TC - I just believe the ID public at large are curious to see how CLRG will apply the rules, given the recent Amos case.The above threat of legal action seems somewhat excessive from what I've read above. -- observer, Tue, Feb 20 2007, 19:17:42 [1]
