Far be it from me to hold punkfolkrocker up as a paragon of virtue, but he is. He's feisty, and he makes it known when he doesn't like something. But he doesn't get nasty or angry. He always has a good sense of humor, and he's often hilarious. And he seems to have a good time here.

If we all could lighten up and follow the sterling example of PFR, I think we'd all have a good time here.

I notice that there are very few gentle people and almost no women who participate in these long, angry threads. I think the animosity scares them away. People often tell me that they don't come to Mudcat because they don't like the animosity. I feel bad about that.
