Doesn't Mean They're Not All Out To Get You

My typically even-handed appraisal of outdoor Tai Chi has elicited a supplementary comment:


I feel compelled to return to the subject of open air Tai Chi. I have witnessed this repeatedly over the past week and despite your guidance feel that this overt display can only be regarded as 'showing off'. At what point does standing out from the crowd become showing off? Your guidance would be appreciated.


Now call me suspicious, paranoid even, but it strikes me that a private war could be in progress, perhaps at a place of work or similar public arena, and the good offices of this (if you will) fine organ might be getting used for point scoring! I do hope I'm wrong.

Regardless of the motives for this line of questioning, I can only repeat my original view that as long as no harm is done to others, people should be allowed to get on with their own business, however weird or contrary to the norms of decent society. If making curious windmill movements at a snail's pace is your bag, then so be it!

Chickens and foxes
Is it fair to keep chickens out of reach of hungry foxes?

Socialist Realism; was it a force for good?

Long time no post has the Obo said all that can be said? It reminds me of Noggin the Nog, I am sure in one episode it was suggested that everything that could be invented had been and that there was nothing more to do. The episode ended on a happy note, let's hope the wisdom of the Obo can find a way through this current dry patch and enlighten us all once again.
