What you report, anonymous musician, is unfortunate and possibly unforgivable (especially the bit about not taking instruction from a woman!) but having been involved in the first week setting up of the festival, I can see a certain amount of possible reason for that sort of outburst, while not in any way condoning it.
Apart from the hours of work that were put in by completely unpaid people (and one organiser was driving back and forth for a couple of hours each way for the first few days as weel) we had horrific weather conditions to contend with as well as not being at all sure what was actually going to come of the whole thing. At least two organisers put in large amounts of their own money and no real idea whether or not they would be getting much of it back. The stresses and pressures were enormous, believe me. Ok, that sort of treatment of artistsw is not on, but perhaps you may look at it with a little understanding after this explanation, I hope
