[Dixielandjazz] It's about time

[John Farrell]

Brian Harvey is cross with me :

"Time methinks for the moderators of this organisation to start banning
anyone who 'flames' in this forum or who brings unwanted politics -
Thatcher - Argentina etc - to the party."

I do not regret nor do I withdraw one word of what I said. Argentina is a
nation rich in OKOM and top-flight jazz musicians, I deeply admire and
respect them for that reason. Naturally I am concerned if anything or anyone
causes damage to those people.

Inevitably my posting has been misconstrued by some listmates (one even
accused me of being a raving socialist!!) and supported by others. On this
list we do not live by OKOM alone, for instance recently we heard of Marines
being blown to pieces and the author of that piece escaped a
knuckle-rapping, but for some reason the heavens fall when I mention
Thatcher.

Much as I enjoy the list I might resign and go to live in the real world.
