Here's what 'Grab' said - that I said:

"Shimrod, I just love the way you tell people "you have no right to criticise me" whilst laying into them."

Here's what I actually said (in reply to 'Grab'):

"No it doesn't give me any rights except, possibly, the right to rebel against the tyranny of the majority - otherwise 'eat shit - 10 million flies can't be wrong!'"

I admit that I expressed myself robustly in that particular exchange - but what the hell - sometimes robust metaphors are the best way of expressing things! Of course, everyone has a right to criticise me, in this forum or any other. But, be warned, if anyone tells me that my interest in traditional music is somehow 'wrong' or misguided because traditional music isn't popular I will respond robustly. THIS DOES NOT AFFECT ANYONE'S RIGHTS!!! Are you listening, 'Grab'?
