I'm getting real tired of it Bruce. I'm not the only one that has =
figured out who #1 is. We know that if we "out" you, you could just get =
another stupid guest name.........
but I AM REAL TIRED OF IT!! OK?
You cannot control any forum of this type, or any Internet Forum. Give =
it up. You are not the God of Mudcat, or anything else, OK?

"Trad" developed from current events, and we are glad you have so much =
stuff and know so much, but just leave off on the guest shit, OK? I am =
just nasty enough to out you on the whole forum.

Sorcha
now you have my main addy and my alt addy......shall I post yours when I =
out you? you are the one who is big on e mail addresses..........

..................................... .....................................

Interesting theory of 'trad', but I don't buy it.

Well, B.O., you have just proved yourself to be a more of a worthless, lice infested jockstrap than I thought possible....oh well...

Well, I did try to keep it off the forum. I did privately e mail this. I apologize to all of you and to Max for this. I know that I am not the only one who knows who #1 is, or who is fed up with the sniping remarks. I lost it, and I am sorry.

I love it. He can't even clean up the html/forward stuff.

Bruce, for once, I would like to see you say something besides "It's on my website, see Scarce Songs file blah blah."

Thanks, Bruce. I love you too. Friends, Guest#1 is Bruce O. His e mail is [e-mail] He is the one who has been lobbying for public e mail addresses, among other things, and refused to post his.

You all deal with this because I am out of this thread. If you want contact with me, either PM or e mail me. My e mail has always been available through the Resource Pages. I think I will just stay off the Cat until this dust settles.

Sorcha, [e-mail]
or [e-mail]
bye for now.I won't let him run me off completely, OK?

just for the record:

Bruce's site is in the Mudcat links and he has posted it very often. His E-Mail address is given in line 3 of his website.

This seems to me to prove you can know a hell of a lot about traditional music, and still be an asshole. Or am I missing something?

I doubt if I'm the only person who hadn't got a clue what all this is about.

There are some things worth getting worked up about. But I don't think this is one of them, really.

However much discussion goes on , there is only one outcome.

Any changes that might,(could, should, ought to,)be made can only be made by Max

A quick reminder, Wolfgang- Bruce has not admitted being Guest #1, so Bruce's email address was not applicable.

I'm just happy being #2. Feck Bruce and this go no where thread. Bruce, I didn't really mean that. Let's get back to the real Mudcat.

Ebbie, Sorcha said: "Guest#1 is Bruce O. His e mail is [e-mail] He is the one who has been lobbying for public e mail addresses, among other things, and refused to post his." I took this to mean that Bruce had withheld his email address, so I welcomed Wolfgang's point.

Amergin, I'm picking up that you don't like lice-infested jockstraps, right? But if Sorcha sent Bruce that message, what's wromg with Bruce posting it? Looks to me like the accusation made him cross, and that's reasonable enough, if the accusation wasn't true.

I don't have the slightest problem with Sorch, by the way - but I am just a bit twitchy by this urge that some catters have to "out" our more difficult guests, because it sometimes seems to be done on the strength of very little evidence. Ignore the deliberately anonymous, and ignore what you don't like. It's been said often, but it still makes good sense.

Fionn, FYI, posting a personal message in a public forum without permission of the original sender is RUDE. It is a horrible breach of netiquette, both disgusting and offensive.

I don't pretend to understand what all this is about.  However, I do have one or two things to say.

Amergin:

You have just proved yourself to be an idiot, and a bloody rude one at that.  If you ever manage to contribute even a fraction as much to this place as Bruce has, perhaps your comments might be taken seriously.

Mousethief:

Yes, you are missing something.  Think about it, please.

When all this has settled down a bit, I hope that we can get back to normal.  I value both Bruce and Sorcha as contributors here, in their different ways.  For heaven's sake, can't we just try to get on, ideally without insulting each other?

In order to find out just what this was all about I asked one of the veteran people (who DOESN'T appear to get involved) and was provided with more than a dozen examples of Guest#1's anonymous nastiness in a wide variety of threads, all coming from the same perspective, and one inadvertantly signed.

Good for you Sorcha. You don't like being attacked, and you stood up for yourself. You may not be a folk encyclopedia but I've never seen ONE nasty post from you.

This will be over very soon and hopefully ALL the people who met here because of folk music will realize how lucky they are to have this forum. It is for all people isn't it, not just the experts?

Malcolm you say, though not in this order.

You are missing something. Think about it, please.

That just about sums it up. Everyone appears to want their cake and to be able to eat it. Not possible I'm afraid.

We all screw up. Let us all just enjoy the fine moments on the forum when we do not.

The Shambles is right.  I should not have called Amergin an idiot, and I apologise for over-reacting.
