You need to have a pretty high opinion of your own achievements before you knock the EFDSS. Well over fifty years ago,I heard and saw Bert Lloyd, Ewan MacColl, Jean Ritchie, Seamus Ennis, Alan Lomax, Cyril Tawney and many others - all for the first time and all at Cecil Sharp House. The Society was doing amazing work before many of its critics were born. If you don't think it is doing great work today (and are you sure you'd know?) - join it and change it. But don't undermine it.
