I'll clarify, Jim.

Simple question from you. Nothing to do with anything or anyone else.

I actually asked you how your attitude towards what takes place in a folk club corresponds with my analysis of what a folk song is

I answered that by saying

Traditional folk song is taken as read. Traditional folk songs belong in folk clubs. That leaves "contemporary songs using folk forms and functions". Of those I think we agree on the majority. The ones in question are a matter of taste or interpretation

Which, regardless of whether you agree with it or not, is what my attitude is.

How have I not answered your question?
