Bill. The Three Musketeers was an attempt to cut through some of the bullshit and outrageous crap that the BS section pollutes an excellent music source website with. If anybody takes some of the stuff here seriously, they should get a life because amongst all the recipe and well wishing threads, we also see oxygen for bigotry and hatred.

Some people, your good self included, try to reason with the unreasonable. Fine, but forgive me if I see that as mental masturbation.

Sadly, if Steve Shaw and others, us included, didn't have a pop, then the most outrageous shit would be in mudcat unchallenged and that, for an innocent bystander coming here, isn't nice. We see defence of terrorism if the imaginary friend is the right one, homophobia with a version of "the final solution" put forward as necessary, subjection of women, defence of firearm crime and even the odd bod reckoning there is such a thing as blasphemy. It isn't opposing views that are there issue, it's views that are hurtful to others, whether they be members or logging on for the first time.

Have a pop at trolls such as Akernaton and you see threads such as this one appearing.

Fascinating...

Sorry, but some people smile and turn away whilst others challenge. It takes all sorts.
