She seems to be gone.... this is a mystery... was she someone else? a cruel joke? was she killed by a pressured to mental illness student of hers?
well never know, I guess
Of course we will, Ahmedito! Haven’t you got it yet?
JSBach = Kulahola.
Every now and then you see someone posting something really provocative and outrageous. I always like such posts. I think they are very interesting. And I always reply to them to the best of my ability.
However, sometimes, the provocative poster, when challenged, rather than rise to the challenge will rephrase his/her original position and come up with a revisioned version that is anything by provocative. At this point my time-waster detector tells me to go and do something else. Needless to say I will not bother with that poster again.
Take Kulahola’s assertion that she would “severely” beat up their students. Now I find this very provocative and interesting. I want to know more. Unfortunately as several members of the forum (including myself) started probing this statement, Kulahola backed down. Suddenly, she didn’t beat her students at all! She just said it to obtain some sort of reaction. In fact it turns up that she may even use stickers and colours in her lessons! Needless to say I will not bother with such a poster ever again. Whatever their personal motives, they are not serious. (Let us not confuse serious with solemn).
If you read through Kulahola’s posts they follow this pattern:
1. Make an outrageous claim.
2. When challenged, say that you were misunderstood.
3. Rephrase the claim so that now it is not outrageous anymore, in fact the new claim is now trivial and common-sensical. So much so that no one in his/her right mind would bother discussing it.
4. Make sure you phrase your claims – either the provocative ones or the trivial ones - so that you have plenty of veiled insults in them (e.g. "Are there any serious teachers in this forum, or are you all into colours and stickers?", or "Teachers are in it for the money").
5. Complain that you are being the target of a vendetta from people who are treating you unfairly, and all you wanted was to share opinions in a civilised way. At the same time make your own posts as obnoxious as possible.
6. Have no contribution of any value whatsoever in your posts.
After a while, people catch on, and the provocative poster is left to his/her own devices. As a consequence his/her fun is finished. What can one do? Change names. Hence Lallasvenson – Kulahola – JSBach. The subject may change, but the style is always the same. Kulahola claimed that she was going for a month’s holiday in China. The next day, JSBach turned up. Just compare language, grammar and argumentation.
I see actually no evidence that this person – and others just like him/her (whoever they are) have any knowledge of the subject, or indeed that they are piano teachers/students. My personal opinion is that they are posting from some mental/penal institution, and that joining a forum in the net was a brilliant idea from their psychologist/councillor as a safe first step to reintegration in normal society, since they would not be able to handle a face to face interaction.
It is important not to fight evil. To fight evil is to give it strength. Instead, make resolute progress on the way of good. Nothing hurts evil more than indifference. Hence this is my last post in this particular subject.
Best wishes,
Bernhard.
