Yes, I organise a festival. Yes, I said I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than sit through a SoH set. My personal opinion. That's the "appalling" thing I said on thr BBC board. Crucify me. As I've said ad infinitum, I have not cast aspersions on their abilities as musicians, i've simply expressed a matter of personal taste, which I have a right to do no matter what my job is. If you think that repeatedly bringing it up is somehow going to intimidate me, Lizzie, you're mistaken.

Your opinions about how festival organisers should behave are meaningless. There are plenty of festivals and artists - professionals in this industry - who are happy to accept my help in all sorts of development and fundraising areas, regardless of your opinion of my professionalism. God, Lizzie, if you only knew what I get up to in my spare time, you'd pull your bloody head in...

I suspect your messages got removed from the BBC site, not because the BBC is " childish, unsupportive and spiteful", but because you're banned, and they regard you as unstable and possibly dangerous.
