That is precisely the sort of reaction that I am asking people to avoid, Dick. I do not feel that I am being ridiculous in calling for an atmosphere of co-operation.
I am calling for an outbreak of common sense and fellow feeling.
I am trying to make the point that opting for confrontation rather than discussion does not further the cause of our music.
Of course you have the right to start this or any thread. What I am asking for is that enthusiasts for this music use this public forum in a way that brings credit to the music. The British folk scene is a wonderfully friendly loose association of acquaintances and friends and I would like to see this reflected more accurately on Mudcat.
I wish you well, Dick, and I would like you to respond to this posting in a way that is not perjorative to my opinions and brings credit to yourself. - please.
