- Well, I am completely appalled. I have been contributing to this
- newsgroup for several years. I was actively involved in the juggling
- listserver BEFORE rec.juggling was even created. Tom has brought to my
- attention that some people on the net have certain ethical questions. As
- an older member, I believe that it my responsibility to emphasize the
- philosophy behind rec.juggling to the newer members.
-
- The credo, so to speak, is to aid in the learning process of juggling
- in any way - to ANYONE! We DO NOT practice discrimination towards our
- fellow juggler. We must strive to consider all equal. Sex, religion, race
- or number of bean bags juggled must not hinder this news group╒s purpose.
- We cannot grow if we submit to the simplistic and barbaric ways of
- ignorance. We must rise above petty bias and prejudice.
-
- I find this whole issue well timed. It is no coincidence that this is
- brought up on the eve of the release of ╥Malcom X.╙ I think that we can all
- learn something from the true-to-life biography of this great liberator.
-
- Tom, I must apologize, I cannot withhold information from Mike or
- anyone and keep a clean conscience. It is not simply an issue of pride but
- one of Christian ethics. I hope that you are able to understand and that
- you and others on the net are able to see the point that I am making.

- P.S. Oh yeah, four balls. I╒ll E-Mail you some stuff to your private
- account that I have on learning four and five balls. There are also some
- really easy, KILLER three ball tricks that will make this Mike guy GREEN
- with jealous, envy!!! See ya╒
