Hello fellow Piano Players,
First of all, thanks for your patience as we sorted through all the flagged comments. When we get flooded with flags, we can't always respond to every user individually, Also, when the issue is big, it takes the mod team time to discuss it. So we appreciate your understanding.
I have created this splinter thread for off-topic comments in "Molly Gebrian - seven months later". The original purpose of that post was to gather the opinions of people who have used Molly Gebrian's methods for the last 7 months. All other Molly-related discussion belongs here. But before you continue your conversation, please remember that there is only one official rule at PianoTell, and it is:
rsl12 Be nice to each other. Don't routinely make other people's experiences worse. Comments that contain personal attacks, hate speech, trolling, unnecessarily derogatory or inflammatory remarks are not welcome and will be removed.
Many of you participants in this discussion will probably agree that other people's comments have made your experience worse. But also consider the possibility that one of your own comments has worsened another's experience. I hope you will all agree that:
Making people feel like they can't participate because they don't agree is not welcoming behavior. As long as the original poster hasn't explicitly said otherwise, it's entirely okay to state a disagreeing opinion, and to criticize someone else's approach to doing something. But...
Criticism should be done with a lot of consideration of others' feelings. The harsher the criticism, the more careful you should be.
If people are offended by a joke or criticism, It's not nice to shrug off their feelings, or to restate the joke/criticism in a more emphatic way. Please use manners and show some consideration.
To those of you who find yourself often in the middle of a controversy, consider that you may be part of the reason for escalating tempers. If you have a moment, this article may be helpful: "The Art of Disagreeing Agreeably".
Based on what I've seen of your past behavior, I feel confident that this conversation can carry on in a more civil manner. Please be nice.
