I honestly don't remember or care about PM's to individuals from over a year ago.
Picking sections of statements
to try to hang a person is an old cheap trick. The media does it all the time. Except they find their sorted little stories in the public media sources digging up statements and often slanting them to discredit a person. Going through private mail to discredit a person is lower than slime!"
Don't you think I have personal information sent to me via PM and that I could use or more importantly slant to stir up a similiar controversaries? Don't you all?
Yes, I'm very aware of my comments about Anthony's short lived life as a columnist here. I met Anthony and liked him. I still felt his choice to lace his articles with heavy doses of gay slang were not what I felt his best choices. No more than I think heavy slants of political religious or homophobic overtones are acceptable for general audiences. VA and I exchanged PM's a few times and I hope that he was ok with this.
No, I dodn't save all my PM's! Can you see how you've taken an ancient private chat and now that it's public, created a controversay? Many,people here know here that I am not homophobic. Those who know me and work with me know this also.
I don't think one's sexuality should be discussed to a great extent unless it's on that type of a forum. I know I'm in the minority about that. That's why I rarely post on the OT board. 70% of the topics end up about sex here. It drives the numbers up. Great! So what. Do you think that matters now?.
This OT board is a little community and certaintly not the main focus of BWW. And yes, I have told many of my friends and collegues to visit the site for the theater information but I would not reccommend getting involved in the off topic message board. Can you blame me?
Some of you have turned this into a little witch
hunt to try to discredit me among your little community. So you got your butts up about some of my pm's to you. I can't change that nor do I care about it. Keep it in your memory banks and your little archives forever if you like. Now at least I know where I stand with some of you and you know what...it's ok. For now, I will contiune to write my little column and stay out of your little world and you can stay out of mine.
Again, if my opinions about a person or topic was
sent privately then I still feel it is an invasion of privacy to post them publically with the intentions of discrediting a person and or creating a public controversay...regardelss of the content or the sender.
So for this reason I may let this hand play out a bit before I contact Admin. I have nothing to be ashamed of as you uncover your secret pm's that you've horded just for the right occassion. Try putting in PBENT or pati b. into a search, that's your best way to really dig for dirt. Sammy was able to find 2 posts of mine from 2 months ago to use as his/her signature in a feeble attempt to mock me. LOL! And you question my choice to call people's behavior freakish?
Hopefully Admin. will see the need to set some rules about the proper use of the private message function to avoid others from this nonsense.
