I think Lizzie was bullied, and I posted my opinion to a moderator.
I think that posts like the one i made today about partial capos, should be what this forum is about., sadly no one has appeared to notice it.
I have suffered abuse from a number of people, Ralph Jordan was one who tried to tell me I would never be booked to play in the south east of England again, RALPH you were wrong I have since played at the following folk clubs,Faversham,Deal, Waltham Abbey, St Neots,Romford,Lewes,Swindon,uxbridge, maidenhead,tenterden folk festival, stanford, croydon.

From Captain Birdsey:
like Diane,I thought these cartoons were funny 30 years ago.
…………………………………………………………………
now I find them predictable ……………………………………..

and from Diane Easby:
……….I got bored with Borfolk 30 years ago,………..

So, where did either of you see the Mudcat parody 30 years ago? Even if the message is the same, the approach is fresh and amusing.



From another thread:

For more than 30 years Mudcat's Dick Miles has been play and writing traditional music………………….

Captain, perhaps it's a good job people don't apply your sense of humour to their musical tastes, otherwise you could find your upcoming tour playing to pretty small audiences.

    the above was allowed by the moderators, doug chadwick takes an extract from my website, accuses me of not having a sense of humour, and suggesting that because I have a different sense of humour, i would be playing to small audiences
That was a personal attack, AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO REMOVE THE POST.ARE YOU SURPRISED PEOPLE LEAVE THIS FORUM, I AM NOT.
   Because I said that I did not find it funny,I am subjected to personal attacks.
ON ANOTHER OCCASION I was also accused of taking hallucinatory drugs by IAN ANDERSON, because I criticised a review which appeared to be in Folk roots, but was actually a review by a James O Donnell, which was cleverly giving the impression it was A Folk Roots REVIEW., but in fact was not.
   Ian Anderson has since banned me from his forum.
TALK ABOUT MUSICAL FASCISM, performers are not allowed to criticise hatchet job reviews.
