Subj: [kl] Stolen Bass Clarinet
Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2000 15:55:58 -0500

It is not often that I will post something on the Klarinet, but I think that
the manner in which this whole stolen bass clarinet thing has been handled
has been inappropriate, and even childish at times. I'm not pointing
fingers at any one person, just the way the whole thing was handled. If one
confronts another with methods of insulting, anger, and intimidation, is it
so unexpected to receive a reply of a similar nature. Certainly one can't
expect to be dealt with in a civilized manner if they do not do so
themselves. It is also somewhat foolish to make hasty decisions based on
only one side of the story. I have to admit that even I was guilty of that
at first. It is even more foolish to start insulting and harassing without
knowing the whole story. I think that both parties are fairly reasonable
people, and had things been handled differently, it very well could have
turned out well for them both. I fear that it is too late and things have
gone too far, but I hope that differences can be set aside, and things
worked out. -- Nate Zeien

PS - As an aside, to the discussion of the "band directors throwing things"
subject, a friend of mine had a high school band director who would go into
fits of rage and throw chairs and stands at people. Serious actions were
taken against this director by the school, and I'm not sure that he has a
job there anymore. Sad, but true.
