I was going to type out an entire post dedicated to Vincent's reply ( which incidentally made me snort ) until I saw something in his post

As I said, (given that ridiculously out of place example of yours). Right, if you feel that my house is to be bombed. Thats' your opinion. But opinion does not equal to right. Lets see, if the entire society is insistent on certain values, that does not change to opinion of the individual. However, steps are taken to ensure uniformity. This is the basis of civilisation. Therefore, it is certain that despite all the rules and regulations of civilized society, the individual opinion is still not unaltered. Therefore, the common opinion does not equate to personal opinion and I am still entitled to my own opinion even it YOU AND YOU ALONE DON'T LIKE IT.

You're right, common opinion does not equate to personal opinion. It's: Mine, Yang En's and Alphonsus' opinion against yours.

And yes of course you are entitled to your own opinion. I never said you weren't =)

Also, in your own words, my blog is then an example of 'steps (that) are taken to ensure uniformity'


And yes I agree with your attitude about looking at both sides of the coin and then choosing. News for you, I'm doing it too
Haha, not likely, you haven't stated an example of my side of view.

After all, I don't get anything from adding members accounts, posting on the blog, arranging pieces for the orchestra or conducting. So why am I doing all this?
It's your job to conduct and arrange? Granted yes adding members accounts and posting on the blog is taking your initiative which is wonderful, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't justify you asking for your administrative status in that particular manner. May I remind you that you practically demanded it.

Why am I working so hard for an organization like that? I don't get anything from it, and not only do I not get any recognition from it (which I'm not even asking for), I get blamed when things don't go the right way.
Because it's your CCA if you've forgotten. You have gotten something from it if you haven't noticed. Plus, don't bring up the point about recognition if it's not something you're concerned about ( since you've apparently not asked for it ). And when things go wrong, shouldn't you be blamed anyway? So now what, because you took the initiative and still screwed up, you shouldn't be blamed. Instead we should tell you 'good job Vincent we appreciate that you've done the job and even though you screwed up we still lurbbe lurbbe you very much.' Come to think of it, this is what we're doing. Although you see reason to sulk.

If the committee is unhappy about it
Yang En Alphonsus and I are =) That's not enough?

its not going to be easy to convince me
That's your problem

And the second part, is just a low down method of trafficking more people to your blog
Haha you wish. Whether they read my blog or not to read this post is not the concern of that post, it's more whether they read it or not. If they never read it to begin with, they're not going to read that post and then obviously I'm not trafficking more people to my blog. It's a statement to those who read, not to those that don't.

And aren't you implying that our juniors can't think for themselves.
I'm not implying. I'm stating it. And it means that I feel some juniors don't really think, but just listen to opinions and make decisions from there.

I am not pushing all of my SL duties to Wee Bian. I am still getting the job done through him. Unless you are completely dumb (proved by your recent posts). You would have heard of DELEGATION. My job is to ensure that the TBY members turn up. I have delegated the job to Wee Bian, and you can ask him if I don't do my job.
An excellent point =) Except then you're not actually doing your job, but you're getting Wee Bian to do it for you. Might as well just make Wee Bian SL then. If you're worried about the teaching aspect, well as a senior you should be teaching anyway.

Try studying reliability in SS or History to prove that you've obviously using emotive language to try and brainwash others that you are talking sense.
Try recalling the point of persuasive speech. Why the hell would I want to 'brainwash' people into thinking that I'm not talking sense. What would be the point of the post then? Obviously I'm trying to make people realize I'm correct -.-'



In major organisations
Which unfortunately we are not.

If you look carefully, the assistant conductor conducts more often than the conductor. The assistant conductor conducts classes more than the conductor. The assistant conductor handles more fields than the conductor.
Then why the hell is the assistant conductor the assistant conductor? Might as well make him the primary conductor then -.-'' The main should do more unless I am gravely mistaken, that's why he's the main in the first place.

I hardly doubt that anyone looking at you would be able not to see that that word bitchfit would be best used on you
I was utmost serene. You however were sulking for ages.

Anyway, have you even wondered why I wanted the administrator status. Just THINK (using that brain of your I don't know how many CENTURIES would be sufficient) An Administrator status means no benefit to me and a lot of extra work. Now why am I even bothering to take the post. I quote why you said yourself "When you do things on initiative, you do it to better the organization or the purpose." Right, so I want the position so that I can help with the website. I dare to say that at this current moment I know more about that website than anyone else currently in the orchestra. Any doubts, you'll find that out soon. Since I know better than anyone else in the orchestra, I want to ensure that things are run efficiently. I'M NOT GETTING ANY BLOODY BENEFIT OUT OF IT.
In that case why didn't you ask properly?

I don't do a fantastic job in conducting (again your opinion -your PERSONAL opinion)
Ask around.

And I never did say that I don't have to do what I don't like. I accept that as a fact of life
In that case, shut up and stop whining about being blamed and not getting administrative status. If it's your job, and it's not your strong point and you're not at maximum efficiency that's your bloody problem. Go fix it and learn how to be better at it. No one's saying that you should abandon your SC job, but you better do your SL one properly first. Neither should you demand ( like you did ) administrative status. It's called asking nicely.

So what, you're saying that I shouldn't take responsibility for what I'm taking care of izzit?
Responsibility is not just being scolded, it's about taking the scolding and then fixing the problem. If all you're going to do as the incharge is take the scolding, and then complain that you're being blamed for it...then well =) Nothing more needs be said.


Ok, so now that I have ended up typing the post anyway -.- I shall rest my case. Vincent can counter this all he wants, I've said what I need to say. Whether he wants to listen and follow, or go against us is his decision. Quite frankly, as long as he doesn't screw me over, I don't particularly care. I suppose he's not going to listen or anything anyway, and will continue on in his style. Ok then, he can continue getting scolded. Apparently he likes it =) Like the taupoking.

Plus, why would Yang En or Alphonsus give Vincent administrative status if they have to keep scolding him?
