Thread Name: Mudcat Cafe: New Folk Music Porn Site?
Subject: RE: Mudcat Cafe: New Folk Music Porn Site?
This is day job vu all over again.

Anyone remember the infamous condom thread? It was my intention, then, to point up the ridiculousness of 90% of the non-music threads and also to push for a moderator on this forum. Max wouldn't hear of it then and he won't now I'm pretty sure. We can always go over to that other mostly music site --- the one with a moderator --- but I'd still be looking in here at M'cat to see what you nuts are into or in a snit about. I guess I'd be bored at an all music site after experiencing Mudcat. I felt that way at the now gone Ballad-List site. Is that sad? No, not really. Just what is!!! It's never been easy to keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Pareeeee----or even Las Vegas --- or The Wisconsin Dells or that mediocrity of all mediocrities, BRANSON, Missouri. As I'm fond of saying lately, "The more things change, the more they get really schlocky.

Love,

OK, this is the current fight thread. I'm not going to tolerate having a dozen contentious threads refreshed and cooking, all at the same time. I'll transfer some messages posted today in other threads, just to keep everything together. Please note that most of the recent Guest posts are all from the same person, although he/she has used several different pseudonyms in the last couple days.
Please remember that it is considered bad form at Mudcat to post to troll threads or to respond to trolls in any way. You may have the best intentions in the world, but ifyou respond to trolls, you're not helping the situation.
Somebody above asked for a specific policy about obscenity and censorship and all that. Sorry, but we're not going to bite that carrot. The policy is that we expect Mudcatters to police their own behavoir and act with some degree of civility toward one another. When chaos erupts, we'll deal with it.
