A-flat -- that is, yes with MINOR reservations

I really dislike the stupid arguments over what one should be allowed to "say" (write), but I often feel compelled to waste my time reading them anyway -- it's like watching a train wreck or picking a scab. That's when I am least happy with my Mudcat addiction.

I *mostly* like the moderators' attitudes, because their approach seems to be *mostly* "hands-off." I have been mildly annoyed when completing a post, clicking on "Submit Message," and then learning that the thread had just been closed. (This happened most recently when I felt compelled to jump to the defense of one Martin Gibson.)

It ain't just about folk music. I come for information, to help others, to keep in touch with old friends, and to listen to the pulse of the folk music community. The real joy is you can turn it off if you want to and go elsewhere. I only wish I could always turn it on when I want to.

Everyone was posting without an issue Gork until you made your comments above, why bother?

Well now Giok, to be fair...why do you even bother to ask? It's pretty obvious it's a thread designed to do exactly what you said above, right?

But hey, don't worry. Now the members can come spilling in by the droves and shriek "it's always the anon guests causing all our woes around here!" Just ask Joe Offer, he'll tell you...

All right I'll try again. What purpose will this specious unofficial poll serve. After the last little bout of name calling, and leave takings, things have levelled out again, and people appear to be thinking before they post. Silly little polls like this give trolls etc carte blanche to launch another divisive attack.

WHY??????

Are you happy with the way mudcat is run and organised?
Answer A, B or C
A=Yes, I think it's great, the moderators do a grand job, Mudcat is a valuble resource, [over 10,000 folk songs here, some very knowledgable and helpful people etc].

B=No, its rubbish, Joe is evil, the level of censorship here is ridiculous, and its an outrage, and I've a good mind to write to my MP/Senator, it's an absolute affront to free speech.


C=Don't know, or not bothered really.
