At risk of spoiling the fun I feel the need to ask those wishing to continue the 'pushy parent' debate to continue it in a separate thread over at Metropol. That way this thread can be kept for discussing the programme itself and not getting locked.
As a side note for those wondering about multiple users, it's quite possible that many are individuals as I came across this topic.

Oh good. Let's go and spam their forum with utterly irrelevant and condescending nonsense about TV presentation. Perhaps then we can be on topic instead of dealing with accusations of child abuse or whatever.

Talk about trying to pick an unnecessary arguement - thats all this thread has become. Normally if the arguement is relevant to the point I'd happily join in, but in this case, its utter nonsense.

I once had a chance to enrol with the Royal school of dancing many years ago i turned it down, because i didn't want it as much as my parents wanted it for me. They then turned their attentions towards my sporting abilities. My dad and i argued for weeks over my choice of career. He would have thrown every penny he had at me to persue a future in athletics.
I don't regret it either because i knew my parents would have been wasting their money because although i was good at it, i didn't enjoy it. And you can't put a price on happiness.
So at 22 and teaching kids to dance for a living. How come we're not seeing you on that Dance X crap.
Can I jus t reply to the above... I never said I teach dance. I work in London in a 9-5 job. The reason you will never see me on Dance X is because I don't want to dance for a living the guys that enter the competitions do, it's quite simple! I still dance and pay for myself to dance as I love it! It will never be my career but I no it will always be a part of my life. It keeps me fit healthy and a wonderfull hobbie to have!

Bloody hell, some of the people on that forum seem to be incapable of taking a basic grounding in Internet administration, and seem to be incapable of understanding that while the children are very talented, the programme (being ITV) is likely to be oversensationalised, misrepresent the children and turn everything into an emotional boo-hoo over a dancing competition. The children deserve better than this.
And this quote from me I found quite amusing (originally posted with a bright red background and large black lettering)
Well, it looked like you were spamming the forum. And the only way people can get rid of unconstructive users who do use sockpuppets is by their IP address. How else would we have got rid of James ruddy Martin?
And this is quite offensive.
And I thought I'd save this lady the trouble.
I did see a mildly sensible comment, though:
I would note however how Ellie and koolaschick seem now not to be the same person (we've got evidence from another forum). But what I want to know is why people had to search for criticism of the programme - I doubt any of them were in fact regular members.
EDIT and some of those forum signatures are entertaining, some are camp, and some caused me to get the flu in July.

Ellie posted:
She was already registered under another name and was using multiple profiles to attempt to push her point. This is just making me more and more convinced that you are in fact another one of her sockpuppets.
I have just e-mailed the board administrator asking for an explanation of this, I have suggested that they are quite welcome to ban who they like from their forum but that the least they can do is to be honest about the reasons rather than a pathetic excuse which is nothing more than a heap of b--------t.
As if I havn't got better things to do with my time that to pretend to be lots of different people, I had enough trouble just setting up one account on their ruddy website without going through the rigmarole more than once - lol.

Stereotypes
are ideas held about members of particular groups, based primarily on membership in that group. They may be positive or negative prejudicial, and may be used to justify certain discriminatory behaviors. Some people consider all stereotypes to be negative. Stereotypes are rarely completely accurate, based on some kernel of truth, or completely fabricated. Different disciplines give different accounts of how stereotypes develop: Psychologists focus on how experience with groups, patterns of communication about the groups, and intergroup conflict. Sociologists focus on the relations among groups and position of different groups in a social structure. Psychoanalytically-oriented humanists have argued (e.g., Sander Gilman) that stereotypes, by definition, are never accurate representations, but a projection of an individual's fears onto others, regardless of the reality of others.

I read a couple of pages of that forum. What a bunch of pathetic morons with the brain capacities of goldfish (and that's an insult to goldfish, mine are very clever as they spit stones at the side of the tank when they want feeding)
Ellie you wrote one of the politest and most coherent English replies on that forum and they clearly banned you because your level of english vocabulary was too high.
I say go for it Karen before you get banned too. No doubt you will as you speak sense. I was tempted to get an account and post my goldfish comment and see how quickly I could get myself banned.
Oooh these people get me ANGRY (ridiculously huge smileys follow here)

It was the same with the documentary a few months ago. Lot's of adverse comments and ill informed opinions before the program had even been aired.
I popped over and read through the topic on that forum. In fairness a lot of the criticism was aimed at the format of the show and a preconception of it's quality rather than an attack on either the kids , their parents or dancing in general. One or two of the members there even questioned the validity of Ellie's ban.
Saying that, several of the contributors seemed deliberately provocative, immoderate in their language and intolerant of anyone who's opinions did not coincide with their's.
