F-ing and jeffing aren't acceptable on thus forum

Whoever I agree with on this, that is wrong. There are plenty of examples of using the word fuck on this forum. Including by the moderators. It is an adult forum and we all enter it willingly. If there is racist or offencive intent I trust the moderators to remove it. If it is a discussion of a folk song that contains racist or offensive language, it should be with warts and all.

As it happens, I will no longer perform pace-egg or mummers play blacked up because of the very sensitivities we are discussing. Nor do I sing "rich as any jew" in "A mon like thee". There are better alternatives to both but that should not prevent the discussion of historic lyrics.
