Wow, folks, this has gotten quite pathetic.

Mousethief, please, take a deep breath and stop this...

I can only say here, that I have had some difficulties on the mudcat too,... and I have been stalked in real life, to a degree you would be astounded by... which makes this seem silly.

I have found you, Mousethief, to be both goodhearted, and generally somewhat irrelevant to the folk tradition.... I just don't quite understand why you are here...
This website is a kick-ass source of trad-song material and folk-chat, and these are my reasons for being here... For me this website has an academic appeal, as well as a forum for oblique poetry about these times... and though I understand that you have every right to make this website something of your own, I would really appreciate it if you would stop all flame-baiting, and get down to the work of learning more traditional songs.

Best wishes,ttr
