Welcome Kirsten!

Indeed, your presence IS a breath of fresh air. The "suggestion" (ahem) that you not post your on-topic music articles here is pretty bogus, IMO. People post music information articles, screeds, etc. here from other online sources all the time.

Purportedly, this information should be "harvested" for the benefit of the forum's purported "education value" though I think you would be silly to believe this place has much education value to anyone. It's essentially a lyric look-up site that works marginally and is poorly maintained, which has as an adjunct, this chat forum.

There is plenty of sexism and bigotry here to challenge you and keep you busy, if that sort of thing excites you. Don't listen to WYSIWYG (a conservative preacher's wife) and others like her "suggesting" that being a dynamic and forthright person who challenges peoples' prejudices, that you are a "troll".

In this forum, a "troll" is usually defined by the forum hierarchy as anyone who a) challenges the authority of the forum's elite, and/or; 2) anyone who challenges the complacency and smug superiority of the hoi polloi. I wouldn't worry about it, especially if you find no reason to linger long here. It is a rather dull backwater.
