“Terribly sorry to have an opinion that differs from the Hive. Please accept my groveling apology.”

I disagree. Tom from Tom and Jerry was the greatest conductor of all time.

Why should he have to apologize? He said nothing wrong.

Its fine to disagree. What is the purpose of an interview if it isn’t to find out what someone thinks?

Joann Falletta is a fine conductor, but this PC speech codes is BS. Ignorant isn’t evil.

As the resident classical composer on FR, I can’t tell you whether a man or woman is conducting a piece if I am listening. All I know is good and bad, muddy and clean. Sloppy and precise. That is what matters.

From the title I was thinking TRAIN conductors. Shows what an uncultured philistine I am.

Exactly!

But if his thoughts do not conform with that of the guardians of correct thought he must be brought in to alignment or be punished until he is brought in to alignment with correct thought.

No one in a position of authority or power may be permitted unsanctioned thought or opinion. At least not publicly.

He’s a fine conductor. Maybe even a great one.

“That is what matters.”

What about the morale of the musicians?

Woken say such things about men and are not forced to apologize.

The gynocentric hypocrisy runs thick.

But what about trans women? Does Mr. Jansons think of them as being merely semiconductors?

I look forward to public apologies by everyone who is in charge of women-specific government programs and women-specific private organizations for excluding men.

When did it become such a crime against humanity to have an unpc opinion. I am beyond sick of people hyperventilating about how oppressed they are. People freakin offend me all the time, and you know who cares? Nobody. If I get into an argument with a lib, even if I don’t didnt start it, you know who gets in trouble? Me. The lib can be as insulting as they want and disregard every fact as if it didnt happen if the media did not hyperventillate non stop about it (which is what happens whenever something bad about dems happens, media does not report it, then dems claim it didnt happen because the only media that reports it is “far right”. I am sick of the double standards that the left can be as vile and hate filled dripping venom non stop, but I am the freakin bad guy.

“What about the morale of the musicians?”

Why would that matter?
