Sorry the Guest was me at work,

Yes I have got drunk, yes I've done things which in the cold light of morning were stupid, no I have never hit anyone in a drunken rage, (even if they did remind me of my brother who I dislike intensely)

I think that the thread was closed after just two days prevented the subject, irrespective of Damiens involvement, to get a proper airing.

As I have already said any violence is intolerable, that it should occur in a folk setting is a disgrace and should be seen as such.

We, as a group, need to reinforce the message that such conduct is unacceptable and will not be condoned, as some would seem to be doing in this case, merely because the perpetrator is a known name on the folk scene
