Enough already

I'm frustrated to no end with the swing scene right now. There's all sorts of pseudo argument flying around out there on the message board, and it's driving me nuts. I'm always good for a debate, but there seems to be a level of eliteism right now that's getting to me, and it's balancing on the verge of flame war. The gist of it is people arguing about what swing music is and what lindy hop is and whether or not lindy hoppers and west coast swingers can get along or share a night etc. Seriously, how hard is it to say for the people interested, we will, as a club, check out their scene on such and such a night. I guess its just frustrating because I got back into the swing of things so to speak for the fun side of it, and the politics and 'discussing' are really dragging it down.

On an unrealated note I had a lavadate tonight (ie met someone off of lavalife) and had a good time. It was enjoyable to meet someone new. Also got an affirmative on the would you like to meet again thing, so that's cool. Not really looking for anything beyond kicks and giggles, so so far mission accomplished!
