Thread Name: Does Folk Exist?
Subject: RE: Does Folk Exist?
So where are we in this little game? Disagreeing with the idea that folk is a wholly pluralistic flowering of something called the people, that it's plots and stories while universal, show the mark of an individual makers is the equivalent of genocide?

Am I supposed to feel battered by that remark? Or think some emotionally over-heated posters have got their priorities askew? I should bow out graciously here, but why must people stop giving their point of view because a few get nasty or hypertensive? Folk is fucked whatever our interpretations if we give into that kind of authoritarian shit.
