Jeri, I am NOT telling anyone what they should sing or what they should think. And I have never advocated banning anything! What I am doing, and what I have a 'right' to do (although I tend to think that it is cowardly and stupid for people to attempt to stand by their 'rights' in a situation like this), is expressing my opinion and disagreeing with people. My 'crime' is to express a minority view which deplores the fact that the folk music that I grew up with is being replaced by an anodyne, inferior 'nu-Folk', comprising mainly dire, self-penned ditties which claim to be 'relevant to folks' lives today' (bollocks!), and, perhaps, 'Folk-lite' which is the pretty, bland, traditional-based commercial effusions produced by the 'Newcastle Prodigies' and their ilk.

But as I say, many people can't bear it if someone disagrees with their precious opinions - that someone is guilty of a 'thought-crime' and accused of all sorts of other crimes. I challenge you to go back over my posts and give me one instance of where I have advocated banning anything. You might also like to think of ways in which I could possibly enforce such a ban!
You might also like to reflect on the fact that there is a big difference between defining something and stating a preference. For example, I like George Papavgeris's songs very much but I don't think that they are 'folk' - I do not believe that this devalues George's achievement in any way. Furthermore, I would not dream of suggesting that George should be banned or excluded from folk clubs.
