My friend has already lined up a music teacher there for me to be able to develop those God-given musical talents I was never able to due to my mother's prejudices against women.
I am very excited to be moving from such a small country to one that has much more space to enjoy the great outdoors.
It's quotes like that that make me suspect you're a three hundred and fifty pound trucker called Chuck. ;-) Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
My mother decided against this, and instead got me a new teacher who emphasized popular music tunes, and I quickly lost interest in learning music.
My mother thought that music wasn't a good career choice for a woman -me.
I had the opposite situation, the somewhat pushy mother, so ended singing all over the place. Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
I was quite upset when I found out about it because I thought I had done really badly in music. There were all these parental discussions after that music exam, and I assumed it was because I had done something bad.
So, it took a lot of guts for me to get myself tested for pitch this week. My friend was very kind and kept pushing me to go, but I felt nauseous during the whole thing because of those feelings from childhood.
It's kind of ironic that I was chided for bragging about this, when in fact, I had to overcome a lot of bad programming to take another stab at music.
That was at the end of grade 3 in regular school, and my teachers wanted me to skip grade 4.
Both my brother and I had skipped grade 2, but my brother hadn't skipped grade 4.
My mother also turned them down about that. She said I would be 2 years younger than everyone else, and that would be too much of a difference.
Instead I learned a lot of polkas :-)
My mother invested much more in him than in me, so we are not on very good terms but I am her only surviving child.

Some people deserve respectful attention and consideration, and some people are just attention-seeking irritants, who, as I said, clearly aren't put off by a few critical comments. Like Jerome, I've no time for mmmm for the reasons I gave in the comment following his critical comment on mmmm in the thursday open thread. I think your gallantry deserves better causes. Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
Jerome is firstly a very intelligent man, who feels he has a responsibility to his family and to others to improve the world in the only way he knows how.
He is a loving father and husband, a good friend, and a sociable person.
He sometimes get irritable, but is not a nasty person.
In all of these ways, he differs from you. It's really too bad that even living in Nice hasn't been able to soften your misanthropism. I feel sorry for anyone who comes into contact with you, including yourself.
Ah - try to divide the opposition.
That's a matter for him in general, but, unfortuntely for you, relevant to this matter, he chose to associate himself with my main criticism of you - giving it a 4.

Yes he is a very intelligent, nice guy, so even I was surprised when he criticised you so scornfully - not many people (apart from lying neolib ideologues) make him THAT annoyed - but I am not surprised that it was YOU he criticised like that.
As to the rest, you know almost nothing about me and I couldn't care less about your uninformed opinion. Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
"oh God, watch out. I once wrote Jèrôme instead of Jérôme and had to see a therapist because of the response I got from J."

I also noted the fact that she was evidently not inhibited from going on commenting and talking about herself. You are making a mountain out of a molehill and your argument to justify this is now getting - um - to be polite - tenuous.
In addition the following ET'ers were having some sort of conversation with mmmm: ceebs, LEP, poemless, wahataboutbob and Sven Triloqvist. So, not only was your comment quite mean to mmmm, it was quite disrespectful to those who were in contact with her at the time.
If somebody else is highly critical of someone I'm talking to I don't consider this to be showing a lack of respect for me, that's their opinion and they're entitled to it. If I thought they were wrong or unfair, etc. I'd say so - I've even defended American libertarians here :-) I wouldn't jump on my high horse and say - "You are being disrepectful to me." Other people were having conversations with mmmm before Jerome said to her:
... Therefore your complaints about the site, and specifically about the supposed lack of respect you are shown, are just a big farce. Feel free to continue to make a fool of yourself. You mostly amuse me, now. Thurs... open thread.

Thurs... open thread.
Was he being disrespectful to those others ? No, of course not. Others have their own opinions, and he is entitled to his, even quite strongly stated.
As you can see, she's quite capable of speaking for herself; with the kind of peronal attack I just find silly (based as it is on ignorance), as I noted in the reply to metavision, which she had been criticised for by whataboutbob on Mon. Maybe you should have just left her to do that. Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
I hope we all are capable of scrolling down through comments that do not interest us, without having to start hurtful, personal attacks. We all have our frustrations and we need to direct them at the source, not at random.
No lecture will undo the harm done and you have better things to do. Our knowledge has surpassed our wisdom. -Charu Saxena.
"To mmmm - an observation: it appears to me that often when somebody has a different opinion from you, you then start to personally attack them. We have talked about this issue in generally around ET a lot - this kind of bebavior is not okay in this community...I did not hear Ted personally attacking you - you on the other hand did definitely get personal with Ted. Please stop doing this.
"We all have our frustrations and we need to direct them at the source, not at random."
As with LEP and "projection", there's no need for the shrink-speak - there's no frustation - exasperation - yes :-) Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
And, as far as I know, there are female Canadians.
If anyone wants me to prove it, I am only an hour from Bob by train, and am willing to stop in Winterthur for coffee on my way to Munich on Sunday.
Now that just sounds too far-fetched ;-) Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
please provide more details.
That's my theme song
