Most of the WCS dancers I know are very nice, even if I often joke they are 'snooty'
It seems however that 'hotshot' behaviour is not limited to the dance floor, I recently joined a UK West Coast Swing Forum wcsdance.co.uk as our Stirling wcs week-end with Paul Farrell was being discussed, and answered one of the posts on the topic, my post was deleted and I now find out I am banned - with no warning / explanation, so I guess, Ceroc / MJ is not welcome, even if we are trying to promote WCS and good technique by putting on interesting workshops with top quality teachers.

There's an A.P.P. for that!
Ahem, that was me who coined the "snooty" term I think you'll find...
Sorry, I know I shouldn't laugh but...
Yes, I remember reading through that thread a while back, there were a few responses which one could call "snooty" - for example, one from " wcsdance (Head Administrator)" saying:
Although to be fair there more pro- than anti- posts in that thread.All I can say is
SCARY!!!!!
If it's any consolation, I'll have no problem with attending any AT classes Ceroc puts on
Not really I was pretty amused actually, it fitted with the 'exclusive image' some WCS dancers / promoters want to indulge.
As I say, I could understand if my post had been a blatant advert,but I was responding to points made on the thread, and I had read the rules and the thread about advertising. I also noticed that other MJ 'promoters' had posted pure adverts (without so much as trying to contribute to the ukwcs board) and hadn't been deleted / banned, so I suspect the deletion was more personal (though I have no idea who runs that board).

Seriously, I agree, it was out of order. I mean, it's not as if you tried to hide your ID or something.
Being "CS forum snooty" for a second, there's a reason why this forum has more posts in an average day than most forums have in a year - and that's because it's inclusive.
It's probably an anti-French thing. Or possibly an anti-Scots thing. Or both
I've just clicked through to the site and it said Franck CerocScotland is online, or at least was in the last 60 minutes. Maybe they're reconsidered. But do you want to go on there now they've booted you off? Do you really want to be part of a WCS forum that would have you as a member? Doesn't sound snooty enough to me. I think I'll start a WCS forum which is so snooty that it doesn't allow anybody to be a member and isn't on the net so that nobody can read it - in fact, I've just started one*
*Don't bother to apply, you're not good enough
No, I can still log on and browse the forum, but cannot post / reply etc...
Well I might have, I could have contributed to all the above, though mostly I wanted to reply to people discussing West Coast Swing events organised by Ceroc Scotland...
My apologies, I jumped to the wrong conclusion... Too many Davids.

Off topic briefly.. am I the only one who read that and immediately though of Franck in a Darth Vader outfit?.. back to the whole if Ceroc was Star wars thing again
"Today will be a day long remembered. It has seen the end of Obi-Trouble-kinobe, it will soon see the end of the Rebellion. "
Something very odd going on here..... If that was the case I'm sure that you wouldn't have posted a link to it Franck, Isn't that advertising surely? Especially for something that isn't Ceroc?
Can one of the moderators please infract this person whose stolen Francks logins
Hmmmmm
PC Wittybird on the case
By the way members on that forum has just grown by 500%
