Nope....I didn't *write* about Eliza, merely pointed people to the documentary about her music and introduced a few videos of hers. Please read the thread. If you can find vast amounts I've written about Eliza elsewhere, or Bellowhead, please feel free to post them here.

And if those few words have allegedly put you off Eliza's music, well, she's far better off without you, isn't she, rather than having someone so vacuous appreciating her music. Yeesh!

And by the way, if you want to know *why* I don't write volumes about them, it's because they are within the 'inner circle' of the Professors, and...as you'll see from Eliza's thread, if anyone the Professors deem unfit and unworthy of talking about them, DARES to do just that, even in the most minor of ways, all hell breaks loose, and they do all they can to drive folks away.

There is no rhyme or reason to what happened in that thread. A total outpouring of nastiness over what????? Why??? You tell me, Dave. You explain to me what happened in that thread, because I've not a clue.

As to your other comments, please don't twist what I said. YOU were the one who said that my words about those artists had put you off them, which is the biggest load of whatsit I ever did hear, particularly as 2 out of the 3 you mentioned I do NOT even write about.

What is shows, is that you are happy to bring any artists into this battle to get at me. How it works is that you make any artist feel that if I dare to write about them, dare to love their music, then their career is virtually over, because people like you will go out of your way to ensure that they are laughed at on boards like these.
It's clever. It's been going on for years...and I know it works, because some artists have brought their music to me, wanting me to write about it, whilst being shite scared that they'll also be the next on the list of musical victims to be made fun of, in this campaign to silence me, to make ALL artists terrified of me, and to humiliate me on every board I ever visit.

Sadly, this time, it backfired badly against you, and it's plain for all to see how this 'system' is meant to work....but doesn't.

There ARE artists who've been given such a hard time by The Professors, that they DO run scared. I have no respect for folks like that. If jumping into bed with the traddies means more than the believing in the absolute beauty of their music, well, that to me, shows just how deeply controlling the English Folk World has become, has ALWAYS been, ruled over by a small group of humourless, dictactorial people, who seek nothing more than to control ALL artists within 'their' world...and they will stop at NOTHING to ensure that control remains as deep as possible.

As to your comments above on those less fortunate than ourselves...well, you've tried to squirm you way out of a difficult situation. To be honest, reading what you've just said above makes it even harder for me to comprehend the viciousness of your original words, because *anyone* who would ever dare to use such a comparison, is, in my book, beyond belief. But to use such a comparison, to score a cheap and dirty point, when you apparently work alongside those very souls who struggle so hard in a world that doesn't care...well...?????????


And on that note, I'll leave you to your words.
