Oh please, get off your sanctimonious high horse. Do you really think this clown has been trying to bring something to our attention we weren't all aware of--for years, for chrissake? I can't believe any one who posts here regularly or uses the DT regularly, is unaware of the existence of the traditional dirty ditty. Give me fucking break.

As to abusing serious researchers and song collectors--there is a long Mudcat tradition of that one as well. Folk song researchers and collectors aren't the bleedin' messiah, and shouldn't be given any more respect than they have extended to the forum.

This guy has struck me all along as being an arrogant bore and a jerk, who gets a secret kick out of trying to shock people with juvenile, testosterone 'fuck the bitch' songs. Whooppee. We're so fucking enlightened. Or would you prefer we be shocked?

Here's my beef--I find the work he does to be a bloody bore. I don't want to be preached at, and all I want now is for Joe Offer to learn something about the fucking filters.

It's the URL, stupid.
