Perhaps Soldier boy could have expressed himeself a little more temperately but his frustration that his Celebrate 'Folk' thread had been turned into a mutual admiration society and a first draft for Bruce Murdoch's autobiography is understandable.

It's sad how quickly the masks came off and a few people who clearly don't share the same warm and friendly folk scene that I know took the opportunity give vent to their twisted views.

Hang in there, Soldier boy; there is a lot to celebrate in folk.
