Thread Name: should folk music be called fake music
Subject: RE: should folk music be called fake music
On 10 Oct 14 - 07:49 AM I posted a challenge to a statement that has been made on this thread asking three questions for explanation, justification and for the naming of names.

The reply was posted on 10 Oct 14 - 09:30 AM saying:-
in due course it might be few days or even a week i will pm you with details, i have more important things to do right now, but i will be in touch, bearing in mind that it will be a private message, that is not be repeated on a public forum.

This reply has now come and I respect the request not to disclose the details. However, I feel at liberty to reveal that it does not begin to answer my questions nor does it name the people that are being accused of malpractice.

10 Oct 14 - 11:06 AM I enquired why if this was a private matter, why it was alluded to on a public forum.

The reply came on 10 Oct 14 - 11:21 AM saying:-
Vic, merely the fault of the medium the internet, and being in a hurry to post there is no conspiracy,

If I am reading this correctly, it seems to indicate that fault does not lie with the writer who was "in a hurry to post" but with the internet for being such an immediate medium.
Does this mean that because the internet is fast that we do not have ant responsibility for what we post on it?
