Hello Marty, I see from a couple of posts that you're starting to find your way. A couple of years ago, there might have been a reasonably extensive list of things; most to do with "keeping it folky". Mbo's love affair with Oasis would have raised an eyebrow or two (mostly from folks who'd never heard of them) and the "healing threads" got some folks a bit steamed. I remember discussions on alternative sexuality, guns (lots), New Age stuff, Confederate Flags, mental illness, handicaps, etc. Can't remember if abortion was in the mix, but it's obviously an issue and highly emotional to some, along with welfare, anti-smokers rights and many other touchy social issues.

Mick, can't agree with you on the Irish threads. There appears to be no history that's acceptable to both sides, so it's tricky to separate (almost) fact from (almost) fiction. From an anecdotal point of view, those discussions are fascinating though. You (Marty D) are welcome to jump into them, but I keep my distance...and as Mick said, you can learn a lot from them.

Oh I forgot. The only taboo subject is "don't discuss the Beatles or Led Zeppelin with Kendall". It's a strain on his heart, and I want him around for a few more years!

Rick
