"there is no justification for your gratuitous insults."
There is no justification for your dishonest attacks on fellow performers - in all the time I've been involved in folk song I have never known anybody stoop to the level you have in attacking fellow folk music enthusiasts in the way you have.
Neither have I come across anybody who has attacked source singers in the distastefully insulting manner Muskie has here.
If that is the level of dishonesty, unpleasantness and unfriendliness to be found in today's revival it is little wonder that it is in the state it appears to be.
Those of us who preferred the traditional side of folk song and those who went for the Dylan side of things may have had our differences in policy, but at least we could go our separate ways without having to resort to this level of shit.   
If the pair of you are indicative of what is to be found on today's scene, god help the music.
