(especially if you are as damning without qualificatation of the work of others as Sean is)

Any criticism is a highly qualified suspicion of the assumptions, methodology, mythology and political implications of The Folk Revival as a socio-cultural phenomenon; I critise the credos, the holy cows, the agendas, the religiosity, and the psuedo-science and post-modern absolutism on which they are predicated. To me this like a UK citizen criticising the workings of the govermenent, or the ineptness of local council re-cycling schemes (and the myths that underwrite them), and the various episodes of our nation's history both with respect of its domestic and forgeign policies.

As a Citizen of the People's Republic of Folktopia I reserve the right to be similarly critical; but above all else, I love my country for all the reasons I've gone into on these last couple of threads, and I will stand shoulder to shoulder with my comrades in loyal solitarity to the cause, come what may.
