If I must spell it out, I will...
I've tried not to contribute personal attacks in this thread, or the others...
But it seems clear to me that there is a group of old-school BWW posters who are fed up with the shallow, fangirl/fanboy, giggly, superficial (did I mention shallow?) points of view that turn up with exhaustive recounts of (did I mention superficial?) Broadway experiences. It's become the norm on the Main Board, and jay* was a maverick in the mix.
This has more to do with a discrepency in priorities (pecs vs. art, "cute actor who signs" vs. "talent") than it does with English as a second language.
There are many other posters on BWW that don't call English their first language. They don't "get it with both barrels" they way Jay* (even the name is a "cute" way of appointing himself a "star").
This is a roundabout way of saying, "Go away. You tire us. Your posts about 'look what I got,' and 'look who I stood next to in my tight T-shirt' have nothing to do with Broadway, the love of theatre, or a discussion or review about the actual shows themselves. They're all about you and your cute, sexy, little experiences as an audience member."
Just rubs people the wrong way.
In a big way.
