I also said I think we ought to be able to get by with one dedicated thread for Faf/BNP stuff with it being moderated. I get it and understand the need to keep folks informed of upcoming events, etc. I just don't think we need a gazillion threads about it and/or slagfests...

I wonder what use the BNP thread had to mudcat? I ignored it; seems like a UK problem to me and I know little about them (the posts to the thread don't explain how or why they exist or what their attraction is but just pour fuel on the fire).

Others (several at least) are the Zionist Israeli vs. Palestinian threads; I have posted, often heatedly, because the conflict is important to the future of the Middle East and influences thought across Asia, but here again the thread really has little to do with mudcat. If they were cut out, I wouldn't complain.

Perhaps some limits should be imposed, but I would have a hard time defining them.

Maybe I am in a minority in that I enjoyed the extreme posts by Carol C. (sorry to see her partly muzzled, some of her recent posts are just too polite) and Gargoyle, but have been upset by others who seem to be untouchable- but I won't expand on that.

I find the term "Murkan" insulting and antagonistic.

1. it (potentially) alludes to the way George W. Bush pronounces the word American.

2. it (potentially) alludes to the term meaning pubic wig.

Neither very flattering, eh?

I really wish Diane wouldn't put her attitude towards Americans on show, because it detracts from her arguments and puts people off gleaning the really useful stuff she posts here.

A BNP thread on Mudcat was a very good thing because it enabled information about an intended BNP infiltration into Cecil Sharp House to be got to the lady running the EFDSS before rather than after the event. Still haven't heard what happened, though!

Strong argument for keeping it down to one thread just to keep the info in one place.

Understand Joe being dismayed or distressed at the animosity flying about. Worth recalling that the British are very much sensitised about fascism and Nazism. Comes of having the refugees arriving in the 30s, and having to fight Hitler from '39 onwards. Then we see essentially a Nazi party here!

OK, it was our fathers, or grandfathers for some nowadays, but you get the drift....

My personal guess - perhaps wishful thinking - is that the BNP lack the sort of demographic base the at the Nazis had - hundreds of thousands of desperate and hungry ex-soldiers and unemployed workers. That doesn't mean that they don't need to be very severely discouraged. And I shudder to think what could go wrong if the UK economy goes on sinking.

That said, I hope never to use foul language or personal insult as a substitute for argument or indeed otherwise.

I'd somehow utterly missed out on the anti-Christian thing, so no comment on that. I have friends who don't do monotheism for religious reasons, but not getting into *that* discussion...

As for the lady who was fired from being a church organist for being a witch...the sheer cheek of it.

Well, as far as I know, my usage of commas was entirely correct, and the only apostrophe I used was in "d'etre"; I'm pretty sure that's how one spells it. "Fascist" is spelled with a small "f" unless used as a proper name (e.g., "Fascist Party") - any other misspellings that you may have found are entirely due to my US English spell checker. As an American (and the word you may have been seeking is Mer'cn) with advanced degrees in European history and in political economics, I'd say I can offer a brief definition of fascism as well as anyone else.

Besides, I said nothing about what English (or British, or UKish) anti-fascists should call themselves. What I said was that, as far as I can tell, the BNP are racists rather than fascists, and that to call them fascists gives them more credit than they are due. However, please feel entirely free to call yourself whatever you wish.

I post "really useful" stuff?

Yes, I and a gazillion others have posted again and again and again about how the BNP (just like the nazis before them) are moving in on trad music (and Vera Lynn) and subverting it. They stick it on their sites without permission from, nor with the knowledge of, the artists. They also market music via Excalibur, thus giving the impression that the artists support their nasty machinations. This, unsurprisingly, pisses off musicians considerably. It is not (necessarily) to do with copyright. This was one of the main motivations behind the formation of FaF. It is why FaF logos are beginning to appear on newly-released CDs, on the basis that the fascists will be deterred from attempting to market them.

Perhaps you could all copy this post onto your clipboards ready for the next time (yes, I'm pessimistic enough to believe there will be a next time) some Bush clone starts bleating about "it's nobody's music, it belongs to all of us".

I note you did not respond to the charge that using the term a Murkan is inappropriate, especially in a thread that is charging us to treat each other with respect.

Name calling is not respectful.

I have posted enough in the threads showing my support for FaF and my disgust of the BNP to have 2 Fakebook profiles made in my name and image. But I will not apply a generalised label which encompasses many in order to drive my argument home.

A Murkan is designed for maximum collateral damage, is it not?

It is attacking all Americans not just the one who happens to be getting up your nose at the moment.

The real reason there is such hostility to the BNP, is that it contradicts the mantra of "liberalism".....seeemple!

People have become so politicised that every aspect of their lives has to be categorised as liberal or illiberal, this applies especially to how we think.

Mr Griffin made a telling point on BBC television, referring to his unease about followers of Islam demanding the implimentation of Sharia law,special Islamic schools..... and the erosion of British culture in general, he stated that he had never harmed any Muslim and was against our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Labour government by contrast (he singled out Mr Straw), had the blood of over a million Muslim men women and children on their hands.

Who are the evil ones?....is to think that the muslim population of Britain are eroding British culture in some way worse than being instrumental in the slaughter of a million Muslims in their own country?

Why do we not turn our energy and wrath on the guilty...is it because we are all complicit? We knew that something smelt bad about Blair and the New Labour project...they weren't what we voted for, but they had power and knew how to hang on to it and most of us went along for the ride.

Now we have sussed Blair and his cronies, as I have been saying for years we want them gone...Brown Straw Hoon Blair all the gang who remind us that we did not protest strongly enough, that we did not drag them from their lairs and put an end to them..... but we have not yet sussed the ethos which allowed them to practice their deception for so many years and still makes many of us look past the guilty for some more convenient scapegoats......Ake

I use it out of shorthanded laziness. But I'll desist if it's disliked.
Overall though I far prefer the adjective, it says something much more meaningful to me than either the long or abbreviated noun.

I've read a few of the initial posts here but have skimmed/skipped the rest because so much of it has become a BNP discussion and, as an American, I feel that the BNP itself is irrelevant to me (though I am glad to be made aware of folks' concerns with it, in a beware-the-wolf-at-the-door sort of way).

As far as the discussion of Mudcatter meanness toward Christians is concerned, I'm not sure that one can generalize it quite like that. Certainly there is meanness by right-wingers toward left-wingers and vice versa, and in America, at least, that often means meanness by the religious right toward those they consider "secular" and vice versa. But if conservative-bashing and liberal-bashing have turned into religion-bashing, I must have missed those threads.

I will say that, as an atheist who does not believe in any sort of life after death (including sentient-but-bodyless spirits of any kind), I have sometimes been treated in a mean-spirited way at Mudcat by those who take offense at my attitude toward the dead.

For instance, when Ted Kennedy passed away and an "Obit" thread was started, I was not the first poster to mention Chappaquiddick but I did make a metaphorical statement that, because that incident will forever be associated with Kennedy in the history books, he will "never rest in complete peace". Oh, what a hue and cry resulted from that! The worst responses: Kat was calling me "rude, ill-mannered and judgemental", demanding to know "You sit at the right hand of whatever god you think might declare that? Such arrogance..." and apparently wishing bad "karma" upon me. Meanwhile, Spaw seemed to think that I was declaring myself as having "been so blessed as to be given the gift of perfection" and, since in his opinion I had "cast the first stone" at Kennedy for being imperfect, Spaw threatened to give me a hot lead enema ("just bend over while I get the funnel").

So I submit to you that it's not just Christians who are the recipients of "nastiness" by those of a different religious belief here at Mudcat.

But unfortunately I feel the particular use and indeed general understanding of that term, seems to be falling into dis-use. Perhaps it's an anachronism in our multi-faith world, yet as I adored Bunyan as a child - I think (as well as being a bit of a hippy) I'm a little 'quaint' or indeed old fashioned in some areas.

""I don't follow the BNP threads and I haven't really followed this one either but it seems a common theme is "they are stealing our music."""


That is not strictly what was said.

They have been trying very hard to present themselves as champions of what they describe (erroneously) as disenfranchised white indigenous British people.

To further this aim of making their policies more palatable to the populace, they have been hijacking festivals such as St. Georges Day celebrations, stealing (there is NO other accurate description) the musical output of Folk artists, and selling it for their own profit on labels owned by the party e.g. "Great White Records", a name which, in itself, exposes their racist message.

I'm a very minor semi pro performer, who has seen fit to challenge them, with the result that my identity has been cloned on fake Facebook, and Bebo, profiles which show me as a BNP supporter.

This has actually cost me future bookings, and I suspect others will have similar experience.

This is designed to harrass and intimidate until we go away, leaving them free to debase our culture and heritage, as if New Labour hadn't done enough damage already.

That, if you'll all forgive me for saying so, is why I will not stop challenging them, unless I am thrown off this site.

Mike, no I didn't call my Pagan friend "a Christian", I called her "christian": meaning charitable, kind, forgiving. It's becoming a term less well used today. And I think unfortunately so. It wasn't meant as a joke, it was an observation of her character based on her behavior *not& on her religion. By "funnily" I meant "oddly".

X used as shorthand in 'Christian' has a long lineage. It's the Greek letter Chi, as seen in the Chi-Rho symbol scrawled in the catacombs in Rome in the second century, which stood for the first letters of the word Christos, or 'anointed one'. To be honest (as an atheist), I really don't think any true Christian would feel upset about being reminded of the two millennia of history behind his or her faith.

I'd like to have the forum sectioned into American music and Uk music and Other so I don't have to wade through so much to find something of interest.

I suppose the formal application of "First past the post" voting rules might support both CrowSister and VirginiaTam but it seemed to me, when I first started perusing Mudcat, that many from north of the equator seemed happy to make blanket statements about various aspects of folklore, music etc, as though they were describing 'the universal set'; in my experience many of the blanket statements just didn't apply to the bit south of the equator that I know. So I became a member and like to think I have added a little value, here and there.

But I realise the problems of UK and Eire, Asia Minor (from where I sit, "Middle East" seems a misnomer when applied to the eastern edge of the Mediterranean) as US elections are dogfights in which I have no dog; all I can do is try to work for the recognition of peoples' better instincts and humanity. Very rarely have I felt I can contribute anything positive to such threads. And I'm engaged in enough domestic dogfights to keep me occupied without intruding on others'.

Early in the thread, someone posted the notion that people from the US and UK perceive the politics and religion generally (and, it seems to me, the BNP, Christianity and Islam particularly) through different lenses; both nations also have a different take on freedom of speech, which may have contributed to Mudcat's attractiveness to those from the UK.

Pleasingly, this thread has mostly stayed focussed on the worth of ideas and, while ideas have been strenuously attacked there has been an avoidance of ad hominem lines of argument; the one or two that have been, allegedly, so identified may well be due to the differences between cultures. Here's hoping other threads may benefit.

I for one understand what Crow Sister is saying about the word "christian" with a lower-case "c". It is a term in common use in the US, though not as common as it used to be.

The fact that Mike is zeroing in on Crow Sister and calling it "HER 'wording' " -- calling it "inadequate" and, by wishing she would "grow in wisdom", calling her foolish -- is a fine example of what I was saying in my previous post. It's not just the Christians who are being bashed around here.
