I don't want to cause anyone pain, intended or not. That's always been my goal. While I have not received any complaints from any World War II survivors or close relatives of them (of which I am, as well) about this, I feel like discussing this topic on Shared Weight is not going anywhere. So I won't so so anytime soon.
If you are a World War II survivor, please contact me privately and I will apologize to you if I've caused you pain.
Sincerely,
Ron
Thank you, Michael. The term for the WWII tragedy still evokes a lot of pain for those who survived it and their descendants, and hopefully will have no further use in a forum devoted to dancing -

Ron:"we're comparing our having fun traveling to various dances to the widespread persecution of an ethnicity (the worst being the Holocaust)."Maybe you do. No one else uses such bizarre logic.Conbtradancers as a group are about as left of center and non-discriminatory in their beliefs as any non-political group gets.Your suggestion is absurdMichael Fuerst 802 N Broadway Urbana IL 61801 217 239 5844
