Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members?
Guess what, Treehouse.

I'm a folksinger!

I am very opinionated and I actually do collect real antiques, not just guitars.

Your whining, snobbism, and pseudo-intellectualism type is actually what is obnoxious to some members, who, like myself, are not really so heavy handed as to living up to being a folksinger. My type like folkmusic and play it, also. Maybe we aren't navel gazing songwriters who have to socially comment on Mexican farm laborers. Maybe we like folk music like the Chad Mitchell Trio. I don't think it's all just about your perfect folk music site world. Hell, I'll bet you even have a beard. I don't.

I feel that no one "owns" a thread. You cannot log into a thread. Threads are not private conversations, and "interrupting" a thread might just be a good way of voicing an opinion against the thread in general.

So many of the philosophical threads, the "what if" threads, really are quite obnoxiously silly. Stepping in can be as funny as say, jumping into a pool wearing a tutu at the olympics.
