Subject: RE: BS: The problem at Mudcat? Moderated thread

It's this sort of inane superstitious bullshit that needs moderating


This was said about someone who spouts extraneous religious claptrap at any opportunity, oblivious of how his degrading attitude towards women (at music venues, just to emphasis that this comment is on topic) is in bizarre contrast to an assertion of being "happy with his life". I couldn't agree more with the sentiment and if moderation could extend to preventing such proselytisers from turning up on my doorstep peddling Warcry I'd be even better pleased.

Meanwhile, this is someone else's weird and disturbing view of anti-fascists:

I found, and find, their peculiar combination of self-righteousness, mutual admiration and simple bullying, repugnant


This is despite innumerable explanations of what fascists did to trad music in nazi Germany and what is their declared aim here. I can only assume a peculiarly Murkan* myopia that renders them incapable of assimilating the concern prevalent among musicians and in the industry in general that prompted the formation of FaF. They seem to live in the cloud cuckoo land of assuming that fascism in their land consists of half a dozen KKKers sitting round playing Dixie. This is a jolly fine tune and if I were you, I'd go about reclaiming it.

Someone else advocated the separation of "religion and politics" from the main forum. This is patent nonsense. Religion has a place in a music forum insofar as it was once an integral impetus for composition. It is, however, an impossibility to separate politics from life. It is what the content of our music largely comprises.

Finally, on the subject of Murkans*, this is what many people tend to call inhabitants of the North American continent. Until and unless you desist from referring to all inhabitants of this sceptr'd isle as "Brits" as though were were a bunch of football hooligans, I shall continue to do so and you can get over it.
