Tom,
I wasn't aware that fairy rings were 'bad' - other than for the 'manicured 
lawn' crowd who abhor anything other than their monoculture of bluegrass or 
turf-type fescue.  I was under the impression(faulty, perhaps?) that they 
were just the visible sign of the presence of saprophytic fungi growing on 
organic material - often the decaying roots of a dead tree stump.

Care to enlighten me?
