"Your job, if you're interested, is to counteract my adverse view of the "offending" passage with argument."

My job is whatever I choose it to be. Who died and made you king? You, too, are posting on a public forum (where anyone who cares to can see that you have attacked Eliza, her perceived lack of talent and her ego on at least three different threads). Expect people to take all of what you say in context. Eliza herself clearly found your opening gambit aggressive and offensive: "Are you saying that the Folk Day is a bad idea or just that I'm an idiot you don't like? It's not clear from your post."

For what it's worth, Eliza plays for Goathland Plough Stots and Bampton Morris. She plays free of charge in charity concerts. She is about as generous with her time as someone in her position could realistically be expected to be, and this is because of her huge commitment to the tradition. I'm not sure how you define "bloody big egos", but I'd be intrigued to know.

In any case, I have already countered your argument with a number of considered postings, but as you acknowledge no opinion but your own, I think anyone reading can tell who really has the ego problem.
