Subject: RE: Can we lighten up a little?
Ferrara ... Thank you. To all the rest ... I was the person who emailed Ferrara with my concerns about the tone of the Mudcat Forum. I didn't even visit the site for quite a while and since have simply "lurked." This site has a lot of mature people who are a wealth of information regarding traditional music. I've "heard" a tremendous amount of "heart" coming through these threads, but in the last few months, the tone of the forum turned cold and unforgiving. I want to communicate with individuals who have heart and intelligence and humor, not individuals who are sarcastic and unforgiving. I was attacked in front of my house in early December and haven't felt safe anywhere since, so I would like to tune into this site and feel some semblance of safeness. This certainly is a wordy tome and perhaps, as my mother used to say, I'm just talkin' to hear my brains rattle! Enough said ... peace to all ... jenny
