Dear Snail,

In the Celebrate Folk thread, you will find an apology that will take your breath away. It was made by the man who took a swipe, (wrongly, as he now openly admits) to Peace.

His guts and determination to ensure that no harm was caused to anyone on that thread, and his humility speaks for the man in HUGE amounts.

You however, despite leaping gleefully on what you thought was a bandwagon of hatred, have chosen NOT to apolgise, as SB has done, so profusely.

Peace graciously accepted his apology and made him feel very comfortable about things, as did we all, something well worth celebrating!

Yet now, here once more you sit, pouring out scorn and hatred.

Soldier Boy has much to teach you.

I suggest, politely, that you read his wonderful words and learn from them, and then, perhaps show the same amount of guts and humility as he has shown, and also apologise to those about whom you have made rude comments.

Sadly, I doubt this happen, although I hope you choose to prove me wrong.

You can tell a great deal about a man by the friends he chooses and how he behaves when he is proved wrong.

Thank you

I look foward to your apology.

Lizzie

To understand some of Peace's hostility, take a look at the Celebrate 'Folk' thread. It will also give you some insight into Polite Guest. I leave people to make their own judgements.

What Peace may not realise is that Lizzie Cornish was banned from Mudcat for a variety of offences including posting under multiple identities. Since then, she has tried to sneak back in under a variety of different disguises. Ruth Archer has a talent for sniffing her out and tipped me off.

I was unsure at first as Polite Guest seemed relatively coherent and, well, polite. As time has passed, the false beard and sunglasses have slipped away, the writing style has re-asserted itself and she has made no attempt to pretend not to be Lizzie.

Sorry I didn't reply to your PM the other day, Peace. Just a matter of policy not to respond to offensive messages.

This really isn't necessary and you are only making yourself look bad!

Phil, people have lives outside this thread. If you give people a chance they may surprise you which by the sounds of things isn't hard considering you seem to hold them in such a low respect.

You you cannot tell me that you know the situation honestly and you have judged, hung, drawn and quartered them before you even know them. I have only known Ruth since yesterday and I trust her judgement over yours already because it appears she can see outside the box. She encourages the younger generation to progress plus as I said before, it's the minority that spoil it for the rest of us. between 5 and 15 in a session and one complaint that doesn't sound like a reason to stop them coming back to me.

I have studied hard for years computers and if you so wish Phil I can make up a statistical analysis of the negatives and positives because I feel that your emotions are clouding your judgement of these individuals.

I've had enough of this pettiness and back stabbing with added procrastination, this thread is about how threads close without a general vote or without knowing who the true administrators are!!!

I'm off because we can't seem to agree!

Charley. "but, they WERE damned rude to me and I'm sure they know it and they havent even had the good grace to comment"

- We have no idea who you are. Maybe we just didnt hear you when you tried to exchange plesantries. Also the pulling of faces usually happens whilst drinking scrumpy, either that or its us comunicating without making noise. So probabilly not taking the piss out of you.

There's your comment. now stop going on about it. Next time you see me come over and wave a flag and i'll say hello. I don't try to ignore people and anyone who knows me will vouch that i'll talk to anyone and being northern i'll talk for hours. Like i said, we prbabilly didn't notice you speak?

Since this thread and some similar ones do not appear to fit comfortably into either "Music" or "BS/Non-music" perhaps a third category "Soap Operas" could be created. There are many candidates available to populate same.

You tell me, Tom. What I was trying to say is that, although some people may shy away from putting themselves in the middle of a heated debate, they appreciate someone saying what they themselves were thinking.

"Issues not personalities" is fine - and if Lizzie had not proudly proclaimed that she'd gone to the Oysterband to tell on the "cool as folk brigade", I would have continued to ignore her(as I have been doing for weeks, though I knew she was here - live and let live and all that).

Going to the Oysterband was completely out of order. She was not even there, how the hell does she know what really happened? And yes, these lads are friends of mine, I got them the Big Session gig, FFS.

So I snapped. <<<<<<<<





I humbly apologise Ruth, I had *no* idea I was responsible for your abusive posts about me, but now....now I can see it most clearly.

I had, quite wrongly now I realise, from your learned experience above, thought that the Oysterband should know about that thread, as *their* festival was being written about in a bad light.

I'd assumed, as it's a new festival, relatively that is, that they would appreciate reading the thread, keeping an eye on it etc. and who knows, may well benefit by next year's session being very different.

However, stupidly, I see this was entirely wrong. I realise this is purely because I am a mere humble, dim, dull, lover of folk music and not a festival organiser, such as your esteemed self.

I would however, also have pointed out this same fact to Sidmouth, if it had been about them, although I now no longer am interested in Sidmouth.

Next time I choose to do something, I will be sure to ask your learned advice first, for I realise that without you the English folk world would not exist.

My humble apologies to The Oysterband, a band whose music I love and adore, a band for whom I have the utmost respect and a band who treat their fans with consideration and respect, thus in turn, receiving much love back from them.

I'm sure they'll now remove me from their front page, insert luffbra fesitval and even delete me completely perhaps, or have me removed altogether from myspace for daring to do something without your permission.

Once again, I humbly apologise for apparently *making* you write such insulting, humiliating and vitriolic posts about me. I am sure you are filled with a deep regret for having to have revealed 'what lies beneath' the face of the sunny festival organiser.

If you would like to tell me how you knew I was not there, and if so, why I was not there, I'd be most interested to hear, for again, I'm sure I have much to learn, about myself, about the Oysterband, about the way to behave, about harrassment and abuse.

Thanking you, in anticipation.
