Pierre, I was quoting your post 31 Oct 09 - 09:23 PM when you said "I got cross because I thought that was uncalled for"

Does it matter that what you were saying was complimentary? Surely the point is that, to quote you again, your behaviour got the musician "rattled" and put him off his performance. Perhaps a more experienced performer would have been less likely to be distracted - again that isn't the point.

The fact is that your behaviour was - no doubt unintentionally - disrespectful to the performer and the audience. You then make matters worse by criticising the performer for allowing himself to be put off by you, and for telling you to be quiet.

So far as the performer is concerned, he told you the matter is over with. So why bring it up here?

The fact is, you were in the wrong. Please accept that, and learn from it.
