I think that WLD is probably more hostile to trad folkies than to trad folk, but that the concepts get intertwined.

And of course, his view would be that it is what he does that is folk, because more people listen to it therefore it is the music of the people, hence folk. His view would be that what traddies do is some elitist thing that excludes the folk, and therefore is not folk. He therefore goes beyond the "horse" argument.

And he likes a good argument, I think!
