This sort of judgemental attitude is why people are put off folk music. You might not like them, but acting with this sort of condescending and patronising crap to others who do does no-one any favours. What gives you the right to judge?

No point in banging on about the folk mafia Alan when you're acting as myopic and stuck-up as they are.
