Re: Is it arrogance, ignorance or fear?

It was hoped that this would be a constructive step for the future. The BDFI represents Professionals from many countries and many associations including IPDSC. The WDC accepted the invitation and attended. The IDSF made absolutely no response at all and failed to show. Clearly the IDSF have little interest in what is good for dancesport. Is it arrogance, ignorance or great fear that leads them to behave this way? They even lacked the grace to simply decline. In case anyone wishes to read a little more see here the UK based Ballroom Dancers Federation have issued a Press Release http://www.bdfonline.info/news_detail.php?news_id=118 The one line in this Press Release that to me is a total nonsense is Most people, who support the open market, were also supporting the IDSF by holding IDSF licenses How can anyone who believes in the Open Market support IDSF who are totally opposed to this and forbid these same people to adjudicate many events?

Make no mistake in BDFI there are people who WERE IPDSC and IDSF supporters. Now they are having to re-evaluate their position as IDSF showed their lack of interest in them. IDSF failed totally to show consideration for competitors and adjudicators worldwide. Shame on them.

But are surprised you and those who you talk about who supported IPDSC and IDSF did not know this before? As this is certainly nothing new. But eventually the facts come around to everyone. It is just if they want to see it or not.

How did you deduce I did not know this before? I have known the situation for a long time. The IPDSC and IDSF supporters in the BDFI now have some tough decisions to make. Then again maybe not - if they had not got the message before they probably still will not. I was pleased to find this forum and see that people are being given the facts - now it depends if the Amateur Dancers can accept they are unimportant to the IDSF and to be used rather than served.
