"I am trying to make the point that opting for confrontation rather than discussion does not further the cause of our music."


Oh poo.. ;0)

Once Upon A Time, in the Land of Confrontation, formerly known as the BBC F&A board, there was lively and passionate discussion, brought about purely because of The Confrontation.

Then, it was turned into The Land of Discussion, and The Confrontational Ones were banished from the Kingdom, for ever and ever, ahhhh men!

All began to go quiet in The Land of Discussion, because those with nothing to say, other than to The Confrontational Ones, began to say nothing...and those watching from outside The Kingdom got bored rigid and started to fall away in dribs and drabs..until barely anyone was left.

Eventually The Land of Discussion became the Land of Silence...and the Queen of the Kingdom begged for people to return to The Land, but so few did that The Land of Silence became The Land Of a Distant Memory, where folks gathered to remember the times when once, long long ago, The Kingdom had sparked and sparkled with wit, humour, anger and a confrontation of such proportions that many sought out, and started to love The Music which was being argued over....

Memories, and furthering The Cause are made of this....
