A break from the Mudcat BS section is always a good idea. I post down here only occasionally, and then on what I hope are non-contentious threads - because I get fed up with the constant bickering, name-calling and general bullshit.

However I might appear on here, I also have very strong social and political views - not necessarily always pro-right or pro-left. But I prefer to keep them to myself rather than air them on a forum where people constantly argue from fixed positions which never, ever change, revert to insult rather than reason, and get sucked into acrimony at the drop of a post.

The reason to be part of Mudcat - for me - is for its huge fund of marvellous musical knowledge. And that's well above the line.
