Jim Carroll, you are an accomplished collector of songs, and respected as one of the most knowledgeable authorities on folk song that we have.
Not least by me.
On this thread you have shown yourself also to be a domineering bully, full of sectarian prejudice, and prepared to lie to discredit anyone who dares disagree with you.

"I had very little problem in finding the net article that you cut-and-pasted your 'analysis' (almost verbatim) from"

A blatant lie, and you have chosen to slink away rather than face up to it.
Your behaviour shames you Jim.
