Relax Cath.

I was only joking too ( well to be honest; half joking, half serious; with a tinge of concern that you could be so silly to joke about such a thing, especially with the obvious implied reference to the Sheply Folk Festival.)

So you are mostly forgiven. Probably a case of mouth running off at top speed and thinking it all very clever, before actually engaging brain.
But as one of the main current organizers should you make light of such a thing and in effect poke a finger of fun at the previous organizers. Not very politically correct is it?
And I don't care how many exclamation marks are used; it's not funny if some people could get the wrong message or could be offended by it's historical reference and feel you are taking the mickey out of themy .

So I am still rapping you over the knucles, but only lightly because I know you only said it in fun and that you probably now see the error of your ways and regret saying it.
Bless you.
