[Gaughan]
I find many people in the folk world fairly opinionated in the final analysis, so it isn't that these threads can be combative that is the issue, but surprised they arent even more so. Performers tend to have strong personalities, even if they try to hide them.

Gaughan's forum isn't just Gaughan clones. There is a pretty wide range of opinion on it, but both dissimulation and abusiveness towards other members are verboten. It's not as active as it used to be but it's worked pretty well for nearly as long as Mudcat.
