In order to find out just what this was all about I asked one of the veteran people (who DOESN'T appear to get involved) and was provided with more than a dozen examples of Guest#1's anonymous nastiness in a wide variety of threads, all coming from the same perspective, and one inadvertantly signed.

Good for you Sorcha. You don't like being attacked, and you stood up for yourself. You may not be a folk encyclopedia but I've never seen ONE nasty post from you.

This will be over very soon and hopefully ALL the people who met here because of folk music will realize how lucky they are to have this forum. It is for all people isn't it, not just the experts?
