Hello, Greg. I did read the OP. I see this line expressing an opinion, "Besides, these songs have nothing to do with the folk tradition and have no place here." but nothing stating a demand for removal.

I love this site with its riches and its warts and its fascinating people of all descriptions. I would not support deletion of lyrics or songs based on such opinions, but I do think we are capable of talking about the subject (again) without feeling we or the mighty Mudcat are threatened.

In short: What Bill D. said Date: 04 Aug 10 - 12:45 PM .

Respectfully,

maeve who fears no word yet prefers to use them, as any tool, in the right place for the right job.
