Well, Anne, if you can't see the "harm" in "poking gentle fun" at the Morris, then you can't. I am sure there are many on this forum, like me, who do not regard our beautiful traditional artefacts as potential subjects for any sort of "fun", however gentle. Aren't there?

I am not a morrisman myself, btw: I sing but cannot dance a step. But I think I can distinguish fun from factitious facetiousness.
