Can someone point out where I said that I think we should limit discussion of folk music to academic theory, or that Mudcat was lacking because it wasn't academic enough?

I never said such a thing, yet that hasn't stopped anyone from accusing me of it. That said, is there some reason why academics shouldn't be included in music discussion forums? Or people with a more scholarly bent shouldn't be included in music discussion forums? Or people with a lifetime of knowledge and expertise shouldn't be included in music discussion forums?

How many academics exactly, have been preventing people from enjoying their music discussions in ANY folk music forums on the Internet?
