I'd like to repeat my previous comments about UK folkies eating their young. Do you folks ever get together and enjoy each other's music, or do you just get together to brawl?

Lighten up, people. Try to act like you're civilized and intelligent. Or is it true that the "British Folk Scene" is just a bunch of loonies? I'm not going to try to figure out who's right and who's wrong in a situation like this. All I know is that this thread, like so many others, is beyond what one would consider to be civil discussion.

I just can't figure out what to do about this endless British squabbling. I get all sorts of complaints about so-and-so being Evil and Deceitful, but it looks to me like you're ALL evil and deceitful. Maybe I should just shut down every thread that shows the slightest hint of animosity, and maybe then people would learn to discuss things in a civil manner.

If you have suggestions, contact me by personal message. I'm not going to close this thread - yet. If you wish to discuss fRoots Magazine and folk clubs, do so - but do it civilly.
