I happen to support Folk Against Fascism which I feel is a responsible organization set up by sincere people who were prepared to do something more than parrot swear words on a forum to combat the abuse of English folk performers recordings ('traditional' or 'singer songwriters') by an extreme rightwing/racist organization.

Your description of some members as 'The English Folk Fascists' is gratuitous, nasty and certainly not in any way 'funny' if you really believe that just adding 'LOL' makes it so that rather indicates a lack of respect for others intelligence. (Not so much 'tongue in cheek' than sticking the tongue out.)
But if, in its transparent provocation, it's typical of your posts I can well understand why you may have been removed from forums not quite so 'deregulated' as this one.

I have visited a Native American reservation, not some reconstruction for the benefit of tourists and spoken to the real people not some myth - have you?
If not, I can certainly understand the reference to your concept as being reminiscent of the patronizing 'Noble Savage' viewpoint but, I'm at a loss to the motive for introduction into a thread about English folk music.

I think I have seen too much much of your 'soul' as I would wish.

Please put it away now, there's a good girl. LOL
