this thread is an example of the inconsitent moderation of joe offer , why has 2 anonymous guest post that are insulting about the unthanks been allowed?

I really don't think the first guest deserves such abuse- he has a point to make and it seems a fair way to put it if that's how he feels

'Ham Marquee one evening. The Unthanks were on first....
I was outside, watching the fiasco of Season Ticket Holders not being able to get in'

Last time I was in the Ham Marquee I left my SEAT and the sweaty atmosphere and STOOD in the fresh air outside to listen.

Whilst I'm a great advocate of the wild and windy democracy that is thread drift, I'm disappointed that this thread is infested with criticism of the Unthanks' music and talent. That was never my intention when I started the thread (with a narrow and specific gripe about a gig that was standing-only). Arguments both for and against that have been put and the Unthanks' manager posted a long and very gracious response too. That was all as good as it gets. Yah boo bloody sucks to the rest.

It has diverged, but that's what happens - if people have strong feelings about the Unthanks music, it'll come out, regardless of where YOU think the discussion should go, Mr Shaw.
Sometimes in a free society, things don't work out as we may wish-- ask Hillary Clinton...

I'd like to apologise about my remark relating to the Unthanks,I'm not keen on their music, but I understand that many people are, sorru to have caused offence.

Can you read, anonymous, possibly sock-puppet Guest 3? I SAID that I'm a great advocate of thread drift, didn't I? I don't care where the discussion goes, but I'll tell you this much: anyone who posts on this forum, including anonymous cowardly types, can start threads criticising artists any time if they want to. If anyone has anything negative to say about this particular band, why wait silently until you suddenly find you can do it mean-spiritedly and off-topic in somebody else's thread? Start a we-hate-Unthanks thread instead and we'll join in and and give you what for. We might even poke you with a metaphorical shitty stick. You sound like you deserve it.
