Larry, you said:

"Trolls make this a place where serrious descussion about carreers in folk music are imposible, and I among
others, think folks should post under their own poor names".

I think that is so unfair. There have been a great many serious and informative discussions on Mudcat about any kind of musical career you could name. After implying that former Sorcha Dorcha members have no integrity, and only want to play at the "Green Beer" level, no wonder you've gotten a reaction.

If your suggestion is that everyone should use their 'real name' on a forum such as this when replying to Larry Otway's criticism, then all discussions are going to be pretty short ones.

In the past (other Mudcat threads) you've taken the high road and debated issues until you've been called on certain questionable 'facts' that you've thrown out. At that point you seem to abandon debate and start questioning the motives of the people who disagree with you. That may be effective, but it makes for a sad end to a thread like this.

I've read your former band-mates comments and they're hardly critical. I'll bet they got a shock when they saw this however.
