Me, too, Will. I hope you will stick around and not give the shit-stirrers the time of day. I haven't been in the thread in question, but don't forget I am one of the moderators and may be able to help when those things get started. You are too good of a person and musician for Mudcat to lose.

Much love,

kat

I must admit that I assumed that a lot of the over-the-top rudeness was intended as humorous/ironic rather than genuine. I think that, for a lot of people, this is a joke thread.

Try and realise that Catherine Foster (or, at least, this one) does not exist. Her post was a wind up and too many people have fallen for it. Quite a lot of the other one-off GUEST postings are probably the same person.

Somebody is pulling your string and you are jumping.

Calm down Will. It's only the internet. See you on Thursday?

Will- as you would in real life- just walk away from the stupid conversation.

Don't leave the party!

Leaving Mudcat, Will? Sorry, if so.
As I've said on other threads, there is the problem of treating a forum as you would a conversation, there being no opportunity to see the faces of those you are 'talking' to, and getting the wrong end of the stick entirely, and finding insult where entertainment was intended.
I've been on both sides of that equation.
Please don't go.

The "More Pretentious Than Bellowhead" thread has seemed to have caused more shit-stirring and contention than any sort of serious and considered discussion. I thoroughly regret starting it - even though my initial intentions were straightforward and transparent.
