I honestly think that your points would be better put across if you could refrain from using bad language, this generally only shows a lack of vocabulary. Nobody likes to be shouted at and as you can't shout you use Capital Letters. Your posts just say that you are a very angry person and this is not good for you and you need to calm down a bit. Yes I have read the whole thread and realise that you have made some valid points but if you could manage to behave in a civilized fashion people might listen to them more.
Personally I have been going to Broadstairs for at least 22 years now and have enjoyed every year for a different reason. I go to see bands that I have never heard of because this is a chance for you to see these bands and make up your mind wether you like them or not. I have been suprised at the variety of music that has been on offer and how often I have found something to amaze me. If the organisers were to stick to just traditional folk music I feel that the festival would lose something somehow. It would be wrong to call it a music festival because it does feature a tremendous amount of folk music and fold entertainments (morris dancing, dance workshops, singing workshops etc)which if it was just listed as a music festival people would not expect to be taking place.
I realise that there was a problem with security last year which orginated from people throwing things from outside the campsite which could not have been predicted,and the sad fact is that if people are determined to cause havoc then they will find a way to do so. I am sorry that you find this all so upsetting that you are still going on about it so late after the festival has finished and that you do not feel able to attend but I can assure you that there are plenty of people like myself who are counting the days till Broadstairs 2009.
