Uh . . . 'scuse me, folks, but I don't want to be anybody's cause célèbre here, and I really don't feel that I need defending. Thanks, anyway.

I have known Mary Garvey for some years now, and although it seems we don't necessarily agree about a few things, I know her to be a good person and I respect her. She obviously feels strongly about this, and that's okay. Admirable, in fact. Among other things, she's a fine singer with a head full of good songs, and she sings them beautifully. I haven't seen her for a few years because we live in different cities now, but one of these days I'm going to make it to Rainy Camp or Sunny Camp where I look forward to seeing her and hearing her sing again.

Can we sort of lower the tone of animosity here? It's really a waste of good bandwidth. Let's all move on to a music thread, shall we?
