Nah - my premise is that it's not unusual for new MJ organisations to start-up in the UK. ESG did then point out that he felt it was unusual in London. This is a fair enough viewpoint, as no doubt most people feel that 2 new well known starts-ups (Hipsters & JangoLushMelt) plus several smaller independents within London in the last 5 years isn't all that much. I'm not sure I agree, but I've listened to the comment, and I accept the validity of the opinion.
I also feel it's not unusual for a person involved with one organisation to then go on to start up independently. I agreed with Gus that this example is not even as unethical, dishonest and blatent as other ones we've seen. And it's not as if the more cynical/experienced forumites didn't see it coming. (Do you really think that an intelligent person who was planning to go it alone would openly announce it beforehand? This is the real world).
And I think that there's a certain vocal percentage of the forum who would rather moan about perceived unfairness, illegality and conspiracies (when there's even no indication that even Ceroc™ HQ have that point of view - and even if they did, I doubt they'd admit it openly ) than celebrate the fact that folks in London have even more variety and choice of where to dance.
So does that clarify my position, DJ?
