Do rankings influence how people post? I believe they do.
For example, a Swing, Understudy, or Stand-by posts about something you think is stupid. Most Broadway Legend/Broadway Star posters attack the poster with hate comments. Later, a Broadway Legend posts about something you think is stupid. Most Broadway Legend/Broadway Star posters simply hit the "back" button and don't respond.
Do you agree with this?

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Posted: 11/13/06 at 10:57pmThat's because the folks that have been here for a while so we know each other (more or less) and know each others sense of humor. When someone new comes on the board and starts pulling crap, they will get a tounge lashing.

Posted: 11/13/06 at 11:26pmPeople with an inability to belive that the stupidity of their posts might be what draws comments. Because obviously there HAS to be a bigger conspiracy than that.

Posted: 11/14/06 at 12:19pmSame here...I have little patience for new members who bolt out of the gate swinging both fists.
#17do crying babies cry more or less if you slap them in the mouth?
Posted: 11/14/06 at 12:26pmThe only time it really matters to me is when it comes to reviews. I'm relatively new to the broadway obsession in comparison to a lot of others. So when I look for opinions/critiques of plays/actors/etc, I would tend to take more from a "legend" or "star", but not always. Some people could have just as great insight and be a late bloomer.

Posted: 11/14/06 at 1:30pmThat's when you use the "stupid" meter to judge--there's lots of great new members and it does take some time to find one's groove and function in the BWW. I was lucky; PJ found my groove for me.

Hopefully, I'm the good bunch of newbies. I do try to post intelligently here. I really do, even when it's 3 am. :)

Posted: 11/14/06 at 8:40pmI'm still stuck on the "bolting out of the gate with both fists" comment, which I must say took me WAY back, lol
