Thread Name: 'Purist - a pejorative?
Subject: 'Purist - a pejorative?
"And I do wish people would stop using "purist" as a term of abuse. It says far more to the detriment of the users of the term, than about whose of us endeavouring to maintain reasonable standards of useful categorisation, whom they endeavour thus to disparage," I wrote on the ongoing MacColl/Dylan thread.
Opinions, please, on the pejorative use of this term.
