Wicked/Brooklyn and the Nastiness

I hate to make this post, but recently I have been very annoyed.

It seems that many people are posting things to belittle Wicked, knowing that the majority of the posters will back them.

I am not saying it is a perfect show - far from it. I am not saying to leave it alone like the normal "OMG I LUV WICKED" fans. I am saying this from the point that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I think we get the idea that most people, here, don't care for Wicked.

It is just plain annoying to see all these posts that rip apart the dumbest things of a show. For example, the rhyming thread. There's no reason why "bad rhyming" has to be related to Wicked. No one seems to make a strecth and find other shows with A LOT WORSE rhymes than "few at ease" and "ambiguities."

Now, I have not seen Brooklyn (I am interested in seeing it because it is a Broadway show and would like to form my own opinion on it - if you know what shows I do and don't like you would know I don't care what other people think).

Anyway, I think it is enough with the belittling of Brooklyn. We get it - no one likes it but a small few. On the other hand, making thousands of posts just to argue that a show is good - NOT helping.

Normally I wouldn't care if someone wants to say a show "sucks" or is "terrible." Lately, it has been getting way out of hand - to the point where arguements are no longer good natured.

Two more things, I am not saying anything because someone personally attacked me (frankly, I wouldn't care). I am speaking soley in generalities.

Second, and lastely, if you want to call me a hypocrite for starting this thread - go ahead, it means you didn't fully understand this post. This post is to say that the so-called "dissing" of shows and posters has spirled out of control to the point where nothing of value is discussed.

Well, I thought I would just add that in - food for thought next time you want to post.

I don't hate Wicked, nor do I bash anyone.

But the constant barrage of Wicked/Brooklyn sh!t really annyos me...


PLEASE, learn to spell. Learn synonyms for amazing, and turn off caps. If you do this, and offer something intelligent, you will find a much nicer reception...

*steps off own soap box*

AND stop making things so difficult for the valued Wicked-appreciaters, like Bso, LittleFish, #1Elphie, SallyBrown, Ellie etc etc. The crazy Wicklyns give posters like these a bad name...

Thank you, Bso!
And can I just say, Paradox_error, that I completely agree with your thread about the Britney in Wicked thread. I was sitting there dumbfounded that people actually believed that. It was so obvious that mr. tuttle or whoever was just doing that to get people riled up.
