I will resist the way this thread has strayed from its title, and instead offer a quotation.

In response to a fellow folkie from the US's request for advice on where to find music, clubs and sessions during a future visit to the UK:

Perhaps you should write to The Department Of Culture, Media and Sport
and ask them?

I am perfectly serious, it would be useful for them to receive such a request and interesting to read their reply."

When someone is so focused on him/herself and his/her causes to the exclusion of normal civility; when someone opens numerous new threads under false titles to make his/her points; when someone ignores all advice and instead clutters up and spoils threads; when that same someone wages war on others simply for disagreeing with him/her; then it is time to pull the plug on such a waste of time and space.
