I'm pretty sure that people are not reacting negatively to your opinions as much as they are strongly reacting to your insulting and abusive comments. I know that your insults and name calling really offended me. Did you realize that you called the "tuba elite" asses? While I make no claim to being any kind of elite, as a professional tubist and educator, both at the high school and college level, I am disturbed by your public personal attacks and foul language. This is an open forum and all ideas are discussed. But the personal attacks and the foul language are completely inappropriate to any civilized discussion. If you want to discuss your views, why not do it in an appropriate manner so that some good might come of it?
