Graham Bradshaw - it is there for all to check against your assertion:
You were extolling the virtues of No PA festivals, and suggesting that wouldn't it be so much better if they were all like this.

The original post says nothing for or against PA, let alone any opinion on all festivals. Read again.

It more than suggests that the organisers want a "no PA festival" & quotes them, it says they are (IMHO) more than capable of presenting same.
It also suggests there are punters who want it, alludes to those who feel otherwise, and opines that this is a trend.

But as we have found on various threads. It is easy to assume what people have written (especially if you have an agenda) and criticise them for your assumptions but your argument can fall down very publically under inspection.

Had I been indistinct or not thought about how I worded the post there would be a case for culpability but I submit not. I know why I posted. It was to give publicity to a festival and is talking to those that are interested. No points scored, no evidence thereof, not in my original post. Plenty thereafter from all agendas.

Graham - it is unworthy of you to be so hasty, your normal gravitas has ebbed away temporarilly.

But then, closed minds ......................
