My big fat Greeked thread — Page 2

I have to ask a serious question:

HDT wrote a PM to me a few weeks ago (some of you said you got something similar/same)

"A friend and I are tying to decide whether or not to come to the city to see Patti Lupone in Gypsy. I would like some advice from you on two points.

1. What have you heard about the production? Do you think it will be great?

2. If we buy seats through a site www.newyorkcitytheatre.com, is it safe?

I hope that you do not feel that my questions are foolish, but if you do, please still try to answer them for me.

I know you are not fond of me, but I would trust your answers on these questions, and I would sincerely appreciate your assistance.

HDT "


This begs the question, was it you writing, HDT, or was Chanticleer asking (since he is the one that actually travelled to NYC)

And if it was Chanticleer148 posting, would that mean that when you said the Chanticleer hasn't been able to post in months was a falsehood? Regardless of whether or not it was under Chanticleer148, he IS/WAS able to post. Right?

So which is it. Was that him posting. Was it you posting. Were you doing his grunt work?

This isn't an attack. I am genuinely curious.

---

Since neither of you responded to the IM, the real question seems to be why you would rather make it all public. It seems like a person with integrity would have answered me in person. If I had wanted the whole board to know, I would have put out a message to the whole board. Joey tried to embarrass me with the PM by posting it within minutes.

Anyway, I'll still answer your questions.

Chanticleer has not been able to post any comment for months. He did not send the PM, I did. I wanted to go, but it did work out for me. He went with another friend. He already had his tickets. He bought them in early June while in the city.


Chanticleer has not been able to post. Chanticleer has not posted.

Clinton made a mistake. A big mistake. But his decision to cheat on his wife and take advantage (which personally, given her history I don't buy into) of an intern didn't cost thousands of lives.

And if you think Clinton is the only president to have questionable morals, you have more research to do, HDT.

I can overlook his moral lapse (I would never state that he has none like you) - as can most Americans based on his approval ratings.

I cannot overlook Bush's presidency and what it has done to this country and the world. Sorry. That is might right, my choice and there's really nothing you can say that's going to change my mind.

I'm not saying Bush hasn't done ANYTHING good. That would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I'm just saying that the good hasn't outweighed the bad.

---

Clinton made lots of mistakes. There is a lot of evidence to suggest that he has not been honest with the American people on many occasions.

If you look at the record carefully, you will see that a lot of the good in the Clinton years came after the Republicans took the majority in congress.

Clinton did some good too. His second term was rough.

Bush?

There are many people responsible for the lives lost in the War on Terror. Hillary Clinton is one of them. So is John Edwards.

Notice, no personal attakcs on any poster. No baiting.

---

Yes, HDTV, you DID PM me.

A few times. I tossed them with the rest of the trash.


So, if YOU didn't PM me, who else has access to your account?


Your falling faster than a kid in a well.

Tick. Tick. Tick.

"Rosalee, get me the RoosEYvelt Hotel in New York City on the line and step on it!"

"Roosevelt Hotel, how may I direct your call?"

"Mark Manley's room, it's an emergency."

"One moment, connecting."

ring ring. ring ring.

"Pick up. Pick UP."

ring ring. ring ring.

"Dammit."

ring ring. ring ring.

"Merde merde merde. I'm gonna have to come up with another straw man to distract them."

ring ring. ring ring. ring ring. ring ring. ring ring. ring ring.

Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit
He took the midnight train goin anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Dont stop believin
Hold on to the feelin
Streetlight people, whoa ohhhhhh
Don't stop --

TheatreDiva, that's an insult to upstanding trannies everywhere.

There is no way that I pm'd """diva"""

I notice no one is willing to take me me up on my offer. (no personal attacks)

Namo, I get from your script that you called the wrong person again.

That is very, very funny.

---

I'm looking give me a minute.

BUT, are you willing to go without personally attacking me for one week?

I'm looking give me a minute.

BUT, are you willing to go without personally attacking me for one week?

Oh for godssakes. You really should stick to one person using your account, or one of your multiple personalities until you manage to integrate them into one whole person.

Don't bother looking them up, I'll reprint them for you right here. You might find them interesting, since apparently you had nothing to do with them. You might also understand why your promises of swearing off personal attacks rings terribly hollow. The very morning after our exchange, reprinted below, I opened a thread on the main board to find you attacking me, as if none of these exchanges happened.

At the time I thought that you were one seriously messed up individual. Now you have to LOOK?

When "you" first PMed me, I remember thinking "Why the hell shouldn't I just dump this jerk's PM in the trash?" But I opened it and thought, "Oh hell, what matters more is how people are in private than they are in public." So the exchanges reprinted below happened.

The next day when I saw "you" attacking me, I thought, "No, with THIS individual, what matters is what he does in public." Sucking up to me in private. Bowing and scraping before me as you thanked me for my kindness.

So, you'll understand why I don't believe any of your promises, or proposed barganing agreements. "You" are a fraud and a phony and nothing "you" promise can happen anyway, since "you" aren't on top of what "you" write and PM anyway.

I reserve the right to call you out on your actions as I see fit. You will continue to whine about it, say you're being treated unfairly. I maintain that nothing I have ever written about "you" is untrue.

And now, THE HD PMs TO THE "EVIL AND HORRIBLE" NAMO:

Round 1

I actually don't have any info about it at all. Sorry. My friends who saw Patti do it at Ravinia loved it

Round 2

re: Please Help from HDThoreau2 on 7/5/07 @ 05:50:45 PM Do you know anything at all about buying tickets from nytheatre? Thanks for your kindness. hdt

re: Please Help to HDThoreau2
on 7/5/07 @ 05:54:44 PM
Never used them. I think they're reputable but I don't know for sure.

Round 3

re: Please Help from HDThoreau2
on 7/5/07 @ 07:11:52 PM
Thank you again for taking your time to respond.

Do you plan to see Gypsy?

It's sacrilege to say but I just don't like the show well enough to go. I never grasped why so many think it's "perfect" but people like what they like, I guess.

Round 4

re: Please Help from HDThoreau2
on 7/5/07 @ 07:43:28 PM
Gypsy is a great show. I am not surprised that we disagree, but it is not a sacrilege for you to say that you do not like it. It's more like heresy. (I am making a joke)

I read your comment on the thread that Joey started about my email message. I needed an answer, and I figured you guys would know.

Thanks again for taking your time to help me.

I understand it's a great show, I even get "why" it's a great show, but I just don't connect to it. At this point the thought of sitting through another production of it just feels like work.

I'll probably kick myself for missing it someday, but that wouldn't be the first time either.

It went on for one more round. Readers can see that I tried to cut it short off the bat but "HD" kept responding. And I thought, "Hell, I've fought with folks on here like cats and dogs and many of them and I no longer fight. So anything's possible." Obviously, the day after all this that I came online to BWW to find "HD" going on the attack with both barrels proved to be the last day I will EVER do such a thing again.

Whichever "one" of "you" blew it, blew it. So, NO. No promises at all to stop calling you the faker and the phoney that you are.

Namo...



""I reserve the right to call you out on your actions as I see fit. You will continue to whine about it, say you're being treated unfairly. I maintain that nothing I have ever written about "you" is untrue.""

You do not have the ability to "call me out" on anything. Your comments only come across as bitter and nasty.

I am trying with you even though you have been nothing but angry and demeaning toward me other than on those PM's.

I am still willing to try.
