Larry and Ebbie, Not to be Miss Manners here, but here are excerpts from the above thread:

Guest: "Richie Havens? Kulanjan is Taj Mahal's album with Toumani Diabate. Richie Havens ain't got nothin' to do with it."

Larry: "I guess the truth will be up to Richie Havens, no mater what Stone Cold thinks, eh????"

Guest:"Richie will probably think you're an asshole for confusing Taj Mahal for him."

Ebbie:"Stone-cold-j--k, it's good that InObu is a peaceable man! You may be stone cold correct but nice you are not. Larry Otway is."

Larry:"Well, I seldom take my last words on facts from professional wresslers, or folks who name themselves after the same, but, it well may be right about the album"

I admit, you did thank him eventually, but the escalation in tone came from you. A thank you WAS appropiate, but in seeking peace within the Mudcat world, perhaps the ad hominum attacks would rate an apology as well. Just because Guest named himself after a Pro Wrestler (not my first choice either) is no reason to assume that he was wrong, or to belittle him.

As my mother would say, "You messed up, now say you're sorry."

Peace to all, Blues
