Fair enough.

Lizzie, the reason people turn on you is nothing to do with your importance, although your recently manifested self importance might be a better cause. It is because you spout some of the most unmitigated rubbish and gibberish I have ever read on things you appear to know and worse want to know nothing about.

I have in the past suggested that you should be given a fair crack of the whip - but sooner or later you decide that whatever it is that pulls your chain is more important than a knowledge of the music you like or hate this week (or the people who perform it) and off you go again. Even they who you at a given time idolatrise have been moved to express the fact that the drivel you pour out is embarrassing.

Get it into your head. You are not important enough to have people "support" you. You are an irrelevance with a big mouth and a stupendous collection of ignorance and irrationality. There is no conspiracy against you (except perhaps by a few BNP morons and troglodytes).

And if you want to pick examples of dull songs and singers, you really have got the wrong ones with Martin Carthy and Famous Flower of Serving Men. It is a showstopping riff, and a tale with a stupendous and horrifying climax, consummately told by a man who was awarded an MBE for services to folk (and I suspect that the framer of the citation knew exactly what was meant by that) music.


Tell your "supporters" what you have ever achieved, will you? Is it not limited to being banned from a wider range of forums?
