All too familiar. Agree or suffer scorn. Respond and get ridicule. SS's "autism" with the greatest respect to those suffering it, is a perfect analogy. Sinister spends a great deal of time putting together consistent and logical explanations of how folk works on the ground, with intelligence and wit and more forbearance and humour than I could ever muster to be confronted by illogicality.

It comes down to the same old twaddle; folk is in danger, the tradition is being blurred, definitions are our guarantees, what about 'our' music. All complete bunk. No evidence whatsoever.
