I am on my own, I'm vulnerable more often than not and I'm mega-pissed off with neolithic, aeons-past-sell-by, offensively patronising attitudes from certain posters who just have no clue how to conduct themselves in C21 civilised society, let alone a music venue.

Yes, I have always written to topic (that's the strap-line above the text box that no-one much seems to read) and responded to counter a post about predatory behaviour in a club. The contributor seemed to imagine this was 'harmless banter' and refused to face how intimidating and offensive this can be to some women.

My name was actually chosen for me by a friend when I first came into Mudcat about four years ago to defend a performer who was getting a kicking for being young, talented and successful, far too quickly for some. We wrote a parody of Child #68 to immortalise a ridiculously farcical situation and I decided to take the pseudonym as a shit-proof umbrella. A wise move, not that there are many who haven't seen through it. Now will you all sod off and stop trying to find out who my friends and lovers are. I'm not saying.
