Love your neighbor as yourself

Hmm...I don't remember ever being emotionally slaughtered. Maybe I'm too intimidating.

Jon, being mean to you would be like kicking a puppy.... :)

[jonsonite]

That is exactly the opposite effect of the effect I actually have on people that makes them not mean to me. Which is that I look all bad-ass.

Never having seen you in action, I can't really comment on your behavior. However, I would like to point out that in my previous experience, good leadership in a club can be hard to come by. And when we face not so good/effective leadership we have the choice of picking up what slack we can (possibly by becoming leader ourselves) or leaving it alone to struggle onwards as best it can. Of course we have the choice of how we ppick up that slack and perhaps that's more what you're talking about.

picking up the slack

In this case, it was pride/arrogance. I tend to not trust others to lead, nor train and encourage leadership.

In my experience, if given the right encouragement and expectations, people will rise to the occasion.

Well, as the club I am thinking of died out, I can't really speak to people rising to the occasion. I know a couple of people tried. I didn't, though I could have. I just sort of watched the club I knew crumble away and then I left so I didn't see the final demise, just heard about it.

Men have a difficult job to learn how to lead and I feel that the spring quarter teaching of the swing kids have been centered around a more follow orianted criculam. I feel we need strong leadership for both leads and follows for both are vital. It is true that men should not be worried to much about bettering themselves or forcing follows to make them better I like the idea of the Men serving the Women for it is a gentleman mentality and it is the way it should be. It is hard to have our vetern leads to leave and to move on to a new batch that are not famillier with the standards set of the gental gentlman treatment of the ladies. I feel that this should be led by example such as the simple escorting to team food

Yes. Gentlemen standards are a must. Thankee Ryan!
