Just to clarify, everyone-I said to David that he was welcome to post his poems on my mySpace but he could keep his (offensive IMHO) politics to himself. The only area of agreement between us is that English traditional music is a Good Thing and should be played and enjoyed. We disgree about what that is, and the processes it naturally goes through in order to remain a genuine tradition and not a nostalgia or fantasy exercise. Why are his threads not in the BS? I thought Mudcat was a resource for people who wanted to learn about traditional music or customs. All David wants to do is spread his own ideas and poetry. He is treating this board as his vanity publisher. And I just totally fed him, too. Sorry guys, but I really don't want to be associated with him.
