Subject: RE: BBC Radio 2 Boards And Music Racism
THE ONLY REASON THAT YOU ARE NOW OVER ON THE MUSIC CLUB BOARD JON, DISCUSSING FOLK MUSIC, IS BECAUSE I WENT OVER THERE LAST WEEK TO TALK ABOUT SHOW OF HANDS BEING ON JOHNNIE WALKER, THE OYSTERBAND, SETH LAKEMAN, RICHARD THOMPSON ET AL....AND I STARTED TO OPEN UP THEIR EYES TO A WHOLE GENRE OF MUSIC, THAT THEY EITHER DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT OR WEREN'T INTERESTED IN.....AND ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lizzie, I went over there because I read this thread and wanted to see for myself what all this hell let loose was all about. I found the hell was entirely of your creation (and no you cant blame me - I was't even there when it happened) and that when a later thread was started, folk music as I said was discussed without problem. Your openng question is a lie. One can DISCUSS folk music over there. One can't rant/rave, spam, etc.

EVEN THOUGH I HAD LEFT YOU ALL ALONE, LEFT YOU TO YOUR 'OWN' BOARD........

You can not possibly have thought that. You know full well, and this is supported by Peter, that I (and he) left the place while you were there because we were fed up with the perpetual rows, many of which you were a major instigator.

Also, as pointed out, the fallouts continued after our departures. As far as I understand it, you eventually did walk out of the place but I didn't even know anything about it. I only came back when to announce I had a new abcconverter tool that I thought might be useful to some there. I found the place more peaceful and stayed.
