Thread Name: Does Folk Exist?
Subject: RE: Does Folk Exist?
" ... includes the historical fussiness, the personalities who valourise that priggery, the self-appointed hierarchies, the 'real' vs unreal kneejerks, the fucking endless footnotes, the introductions, the general mistrust of youth or physical attractiveness, the mistrust of anyone who isn't them, the hale-fellow bullshit, the time-served idiocy, the folkier than thou arseholery, people who want to flood other people's discussion real or virtual because they might not be at the centre, the high priests and cardinals who want to turn a common currency into a religion and the intellectual prissiness that replaced folk's human warmth long ago."
