Subj: [DR-L] apology
Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2006 05:36:29 -0400
I must say while reading this thread that it occurred to me that:
1) Most everyone knows that there are people here on this list who are
directly and indirectly involved with one or the other orchestras.
2) That audtions are legal transactions that stand under strict
confidentiality.
3) that the informal tone of livingroom gossip of this list does not
give anyone the right to assume that he/she may speak publically of the
private affairs of others on the list.
4) If one finds himself writing something to which he feels the need to
write a disclaimer such as: "actually I don't know the facts nor am I
personally involved" then maybe he should consider NOT writing on the
subject at all. It isn't always clear what might be considered gossip or
hurtful as opposed to just showing interest. Perhaps asking yourself
how you might feel about it if you were the subject of the conversation
BEFORE hitting the send button might spare you and the rest of us from
more embarrassing apologies...
I am certain that my post will put a little dent in some feelings. I do
it consciously but without malice. Therefore THIS last sentence is not
an apology.
Matthew
