Thread Name: BS: Any Mudcatters in Estonia?
Subject: RE: BS: Any Mudcatters in Estonia?
See, this just pisses me off. I though maybe Oakley was really curious about Estonia, Estonians, and their culture. But, no. The thought of Estonian Mudcatters is "ridiculous" to Oakley. Nevermind that we have several Finnish Mudcatters from just 50 miles across the Gulf of Finland, or that Estonia has a higher per capita rate of internet connectivity than France. I mean, Estonia is a landlocked nation of leiderhosen-clad goatherds, somewhere between Albania and Bhutan, right? Ho-ho! Estonian Mudcatters! Hilarious!

Oakley is showing the same ignorant, chauvinistic attitude displayed several times over the years by certain Mudcatters towards newcomers from "ridiculous" nations (Thinking especially of when two Mudcatters viciously attacked Karolina for expressing her interest in sea chanties, which apparently would be of no interest to a dumb Polka.), and I hate to see this sort of thing again.

Oakley, there have been two good links to Estonian folk music sites on your idiotic thread. Why not go educate yourself?
