No point in going further - polite attacks make no more of a point than
outright ego subtlely stated. So much for being careful.

Your post was unclear from the beginning - to me and others - at least two
have admitted to me that they are afraid to post! Geez.......what a
political world we live in. Why would someone be afraid of you or anyone
else?

Your post was very wordy, busy, and very unclear with regard to age
of students, style of teaching, and pedagogy as opposed to philosophy. In
short, you say you have rarely work with beginners and young students,
then you are offended when conclusions are made based on that information
(which you provided).

I don't need to "get it" as you have described. You need to say it
better - in a way that is not veiled in paragraph a, sentence 1, word 3,
etc.

Time to get back to practicing, teaching, and selling beanie babies.
Enough of this argument. Tony - I give you the final word - make it good
and tough - no more from me on this one.
