I wish this had been handled as professionally as you've handled such things. Alas.
I don't think anyone would ever say filk in the general sense is dead at Duck. As I've said elsewhere, wherever there are fen there will be filk. I believe (not putting words in Eric's mouth) the prevailing sentiment is that with this ugly firing and smearing the phenomenal and filk-world renowned track built and nurtured by Jan is dead - and it's unlikely to revive again to that extent... and if it does, it will certainly be years from now.
