Thread Name: Who Defines 'Folk'????
Subject: RE: Who Defines 'Folk'????
Definition can only be a matter of opinion if both have been thought out and argued for - we have a definition which first came into being way back in the 1840s - no-one yet has successfully contradicted the one that has been used since - there are libraries full
Terms lke "purist" and now "diva" are offensive terms which make me avoid people who use them like the plague
A mod using them on a forum dedicated to the traditional arts is downright irresponsible
You really are little different from the individual we fell out over recently - insulting other posters has no place here
Enjoy your company
