Geez… (I feel like swearing but that wouldn't be polite)…<<<<<
I think it's shameful that this looser wasn't talented enough to elecite a positive result or admit his own defeat and put his own failure onto you like that. What a negative experience. One reason I am sometimes a little wary of my students participating in masterclasses where I don't know the mentor.
I had to laugh at my own mental picture though. Although I posses a somewhat passionate and fiery temperament, I am not violent enough to actually DO this. However, it occured to me that it would have been just retribution to turn around and belt this guy a beaut (possibly right in the face) and say something like.... "Oh but I am connected with my anger and that's an emotion. I guess I'm off to a good start for the future then??"
