Though tempers might fray from time time I never once have lost respect for anyone around here, least of all JC whose wisdom, learning and achievements in the field of Traditional Culture is, as I say, exemplary. Sure we knock about a bit, get bruised, retreat, lick our wounds, but underlying it all is a willingness to go back into the merry fray, communicate & by doing so hopefully learn something - not react with the sort of mindless fury we're seeing here, and most certainly not by raising up a mob to justify such indignations, much less joining one.

For my part in the present witch hunt - I do not expect to see anything JC has said to me on open forum used out of context by anyone as evidence in their divisive little schemes. We're here to talk and rage about music, not about each other - that's what PMs are for.
