Thread Name: Bodhran: Revenge of the whale tambourine
Subject: RE: Bodhran: Revenge of the whale tambourine
This from Joe Offer:
You're right, Shambles.
Thread titles are neither right nor wrong.

However, they can be misleading.
And if they're misleading, we try to make them more useful.


Gig thread titles are more useful if they include name, date, and place.

Song thread titles are more useful if they include song name and songwriter name (if applicable).

PEL thread titles are more useful if people know they're about PEL's.

Obituary threads are more useful if they include the "Obit" tag, the person's name, and date of death.

Titles in general are more useful if they contain complete, correctly-spelled words. Search engines have a hard time finding incorrectly-spelled words.

And so forth.

It's purely a matter of function, not morals.

-Joe Offer-

By what moral system does he have the right to say that a woman can not play a bodhran? And why does he accuse me of potential vioplence? I have never committed an assault on anything but the English languiage which I love dearly as much as I love the flag of the US as well as the flag of Canada but I don't like the Union Jack - too garish but I have never hit anyone with a flag, a flagpole, a bodhran nor have I ever criticized anyone' love of old church songs like "Long Live The Pope" but not being a Joe Clone or a Josephine Clone I cannot usurp others' abilities to post what they please where they please and impose my sense of decorum on those whop I think lack decorum or flags. What have you to say to that Joe Offer if you have anything to say about any of this at any time today or yesterday or tomorrow or whenever you stop imposing.
