being new here I hesitate to say too much,however most people with an interest in folk music seem to be the type who care about something or other, therefore they have views they would like to share with like-minded persons, these will not always be views that others share and therefore may be considered that they are often going to cause some controversy.

if I'm right, because we are the people we are we're stuck with it. But I do agree it would be nice to air opposoing views in a well thought out and non personal manner.
