Quote from: DavidW on December 11, 2023, 04:54:26 AMI'm beginning to think that we should have two Hurwitz threads.  The constant debate sours the thread for those that just want to talk about his latest content.
You, sir, deserve a blue ribbon for unadulterated optimism ;D
It's all good...

The thread was not set up to discuss content. It was set up to be nasty about Hurwitz. It's no surprise people have followed through on that.

Quote from: Florestan on December 11, 2023, 03:40:52 AMIndeed. Once you know that he invariably scoffs at any comment which disagrees with him, why commenting again?

One of the things which make him so admirable.  😎

Yes you're right.  The new thread should be about Hurwitz content and the original can carry on with the nastiness!

The dichotomy I suggested above goes exactly in this direction. I don't share at all the unqualified, nasty dismissal of his videos but neither do I fail to notice that he shows his own nastiness in the way he treats dissenting opinions.

And perhaps we now see a suggestion that there should be no dissent in this thread. Call this half- or one-third-kidding.

Unrelated, but I recently got an email saying "What is your address? We have a gifting for you" and it made me want to scream. We're not giving gifts anymore...we're gifting giftings.

Oh, my!  That's quite a lot!  I'll have to check out the Kubelik big box set review.   :)

p.s.  Bach's most embarrassing work...hmm.  I'll have to ponder that one.  ;)

The dissent consists of finding Hurwitz' videos useful. I started dissenting a long time ago.

My favorite Britishism that has stuck with me is saying "we'll be holidaying in ___."
