Should be re-named:  Petition for Freedom by the Brave.

This is a long shot which could work , but could also backfire  if there is an insufficient support.(where  insufficient support could also be a result of interested and supporting people not wanting their names displayed for everyone to see)

How long do you figure will the petition will run ?   When will the petition be closed and final numbers posted ?  What if the number of supporters is lower than expected,  what  if disappointing ?

Will the conclusion be fair, or will there be suggestion that those who have not signed were afraid because of  reprisals from their restrictive organisations ?

This petitions should be renamed,  it really is just for those who have either nothing to lose, and not at all concerned what others think,  and also the   brave, and/or  naive.

It is a long shot and I wish you  the best of luck !

Ever wondered  how the petitioner, or someone else,  will ultimately use all the names and the working e-mails ?

 (P.S. 

  a good lawyer never asks a question  in the court to which he does not know already the answer.  Nobody  knows  what percentage of dancers under the IDSF rules will sign  this petition, what the final support number will be.  What is the sample size: how many dancers does WDC and 'IDSF' have, and the others ? 

If the support numbers are low, the only option  would be  to  claim that people did not know of the petition, or,  attack them, possibly  as cowards,  those intimidated, brainwashed, afraid to speak up, oppressed, scared   etc.)  

 

Lets hope the petition is successful, the alternative does not  look very pretty,  and longshot is an optimist.

If the suggestion is that people are too terrified to sign their names for fear of reprisals from the IDSF then it shows just how far the terrorism and intimidation extend.

Typical  answer.

Longshot , Jazz found your post and suggestion intuitive, interesting with a hit of forward looking.

Welcome to our Forum .

 

Indeed. Who knows how the list of names and  "working"  e-mails will be used.

Will those who sign, in their  believe they are supporting only the  idea of not having any restrictions to dance anywhere they wish,  be considered as someone dissatisfied with their situation and ready to defect....?

Will WDC provide the list to  WDC affiliates based of geographical distribution ( providing the geographical locations are provided ),  or locations anyways, because the majority of the sign on names will probably also appear in some World's dancers registry,  with full address, even phone numbers ?

Will the WDC affiliates be sending invitations to those who sign on, will the names be possibly send the IDSF Organisations to say, look these people do not agree with your restrictions ?  

 

Onyourtoes answer is quite typical.  You longshot analysed the  facts, processed the possible outcomes and came  to  a logical summary and Jazz agrees with your comments.

Jazz likes longshot .

Jazz would like to piggy-bag  and add:   a petition with such an unpredictable outcome is like a drowning person reaching out, ready to grab onto anything,  and if there is nothing to grab, the conclusion of the coroner will be:  there was nothing to grab,  all those passing by, able to help were intimidated, did not know how to swim, did not see the drowning person,  thought someone else would help, had o reaching device to offer, were afraid of water, were scared  to be punished for walking onto a riverbank, since there was a sign "no trespassing"  .

Onyourtoes has already seen into the future and  gave you the answer:  if the petition does not work, if the numbers, which are now available for us to see are too low, possibly embarrassingly low considering the thousands, and thousands dancers around the world, 

it will be concluded:  "people are too terrified to sign their names for fear of reprisals from the IDSF, which is a show of terrorism and how far the terrorism and intimidation extended. "

Onyoutoes knows it, Jazz knows it,  here is your answer.

The petition cannot fail.  If WDC gets their  names, and their mailing list they succeeded,  and if people do not sign on,  it is because they are terrorised and intimidated by IDSF,  so it is in a way a Win Win scenario.

Longshot   thought it was a long-shot ?

No, this is a no-brain-er.  

Jazz only hopes that WDC  affiliates will not be too disappointed and will not put all eggs into their basket when they offer the list of "Freedom to Dance" supporters to willing- to- put- on- a -new -WDC- sanctioned -event-Organizer, who will make a big mailing in th hope, that the most people on such a  mailing  list will line up- as if for a cabbage-patch-kid in the eighties.(example taken from  another post )   .

Keep on posting,   you'll  find it  addictive.

 There you go Longshot, as soon as you make a logical post,  without even making a  suggestion that you may be WDC follower and supporter,  you are immediately considered Jazz on a waffling excercise ( which sounds a bit like a breakfast food )

By the way,  not to be surprised  onyourtoes also sends quite nasty private e-mails,  does not keep secret,  seldom offers worthwhile suggestion,  likes to copy and kiss up to people of significance

(  taken from minime-  like the term -  >  BUT IT IS NOT ALL BAD, ONYOUTOES IS   USEFUL IN DIGGING OUT FROM ARCHIVES AND COPYING SOME GOOD STUFF SOMETIMES, ,  kind of a whipping boy doing lots of running  for the thinkers, lots and manual  type of choirs  which do not require too much thinking.

We actually like Onyoutoes,   you will get pas the irriatation,  he will  grow on you. 

Kind of a  handyman  for  the recycle material. Then there are others, but why take all the fun away, spoil the selfdiscovery by  telling  you the murderer's name  when you just barely got pass the introduction .

Cheers !

 

 

P.S,

Are you at least a girl, and a "natural" blond   longshot ?  If affirmative ,  what highlights do  you use   ? Don't you just hate L'Oreal D1 , especially if you have a few gray hair,  a  sign of wisdom ?

Jazz,

In a day the WDC had hundreds of signatures. Pretty good result so far.

We are sure Jazz that you do not want people to make known how they feel about recent IDSF public. People who read these postings of yours will make up their own minds about what you say [Edited by Admin]

Onyourtoes you should stay on and continue the postings you make, as they are very good.

Sambatogo.
