Oh so you were actually making a point? Didn't YOU say that she looks 80 years old? 80 years old "whore" working in a strip club then? LOL! LOVELY point! About as much sense as a Condom vending machine in the Vatican
Jason, your 'clever' comebacks are weak and pathetic. Who says 80 year olds can't look like whores? And who gives a ****, anyway? That isn't the point. If you want to bash one of my posts, wait until you have something insightful to say. And Melb4ever...you're just like a talking parrot. And it's about high time you stopped talking ****, and come up with something better to say that 'Good one!'
At least their better than your lame comebacks and aww thanx for the compliment, your soo nice.

Now you are telling THAT isn't a point?! LOL! Glad you finally realize that you hardly make at point AT ALL, except for acting like a bitter witch.
And I am absolutely satisfied with my comebacks, believe me it does NOT take much effort to remove your head off your buttocks. Cheers!
'Oh DEAR, do you EVER say anything constructive? For god's sake nobody said it was a BIG deal, it was simply a question asked.'
Oh DEAR, do you EVER refrain from replying nastily to even the tiniest post? I don't see why you need to make a big deal over it. Seeing the ad on 1 out of a thousand taxi cabs IS NOT, a big deal. Otherwise everyone would be posting to say 'OMGZ I JUZ SAW A SPICE GURL ON A TAXI CAB!!!!!!!11111111'

StateOfJade, now it's completely obvious that you are a TARD. As I already said in the post above (which wasn't even nasty) NO ONE said it was a big deal, it was a simple question asked.
You have to resort to using word like "tard" now JasonX? THAT IS CROSSING THE LINE. You can't call people that, don't you understand? That's not alright. If you're going to call someone a derogatory term for the mentally challenged, you got another thing comin'. What makes you think that's okay? This isn't even about Melanie anymore. You and MelB4Ever have barged in and ruined what little peace we had here. You have to respond with every negative opinion with some stupid bitch ass comment, just because they don't agree with you. Now look what's happened, it's turned personal. You all revel in calling each other names and being as rude as you possibly can. IT'S FREAKING OVER. It's just a game for you guys, isn't it? Why the hell are you fighting? What's going to happen in the end when you finally do get somewhere? Not for nothing, but this isn't going to go anywhere at all. Why are you still going at it? JUST STOP. If someone has an opinion, respect it. Just please for the love of God stop. It's old.

Silly hypocrite. You did the exact same thing in your own posts . Stop trying to get all buddy-buddy with everyone so you can pretend that you understand what's going on and agree with them. Go back to Spiceworld.

And I agree with what citylights said. You've made it clear that you don't care to consider or respect any opinions that differ from yours. So you've made your point. It's over. Move on. Ta-ta.

MyNameInLights, I do agree that I shouldn't have used the word "tard". But at the same time you haven't read it all from the start, have you? I mean I came to Broadway forums in order to interact with people and discuss Rent after I found out that Melanie would be in it, NOT to fight or to argue. I met some lovely people so I am thankful that I joined here in the first place.
Different opinions ONLY make this world more beautiful, I respect them unless it comes to IGNORANCE. I posted a link to the clip of Mel B's singing "Out Tonight" StateOfJade said that she sounded awful, I post a Promo picture of Melanie and while everyone else says she looks Mimi-ish, this person claims that she looks 80 years old. Then when someone asks about Cab ads, she says "ads on a Taxi is not big of a deal", did anyone SAY it WAS?
I mean seriously even if you do not like Pop Stars on Broadway, it doesn't mean that you have to be so ignorant regarding their work, especially whithout even seeing Mel in the musical yet.
However, appologize for using an unnecessary insult. I shouldn't have done it.

The bottom line is this isn't a dabate where a winner will be declared. No one is saying opinions can't be had. But it seems those who keep shouting 'please respect my opinions' don't extend the same offer. Hence, the point this thread is at now. The newer members who may have joined recently due to MelB joining RENT are certainly welcome here. But those of us have been around a while (and I don't even consider myself one of the "voices" of the board...) know that they either have to conceed here and there OR they'd better be able to back up their thoughts and opinions wholeheartedly (and confidently) without resorting to back-and-forths that just keep attacking. It is my opinion that this is the reason for the hostility towards the MelB fans. Opinions and thoughts are indeed what this place is about, but sometimes you have to emotionally remove yourself from it now and then to enjoy it all! My 2 cents, DT
"Silly hypocrite. You did the exact same thing in your own posts . Stop trying to get all buddy-buddy with everyone so you can pretend that you understand what's going on and agree with them."
Pretend that I understand what's going on? You surely are the only one in denial. Just read your replies to the topic from the start and try "making a point" again. LOL!
NOTE: MyNameInLights, since StateOfJade has used the words like "thick head", "silly hypocrite" etc. you shouldn't be complaining about "crossing the line" much.
StateOfJade: that was MyNameInLights, not citylights (aka me)...
JasonX: I agree with MyNameInLights, calling anyone a "tard" is most definitely crossing the line. "Silly hypocrite" or "thick head" is one thing.. While they may be putdowns to the target, that is the only person they're directed at. Using a name like 'tard' is not only a putdown to the person it's directed to, it's derogatory to the mentally retarded. In my book it's very close to slurs about race, religion, sexuality, whatever people cannot change. It's a level up from name-calling like what StateOfJade is doing. And since you'd already apologized, why are you now disputing it?
I'm all for debating and sharing viewpoints, that's what message boards are for, but when it descends into petty name-calling and personal attacks I think it's just dumb.
Oh please, now you're trying to insult my 'insults?' At least they were honest, and not something offensive and ignorant like 'tard.' And I think YOU'RE the one who's really looking for a flame war. I was in no way being rude when I replied to the taxi post, but of course you just HAD to bring it up again and do some more bashing. The only reason I'm even having this pointless argument with you is because you got mad when I said that the picture of Melanie was disgusting. But you know what? In my true, honest opinion, it is. And I honestly think she looks about 80 years old. And if you don't believe that, you should see her headshot in the playbill. But my point is, if you can't accept other people's opinions, you're bound to have a hard time. Not that that's not what's already happened. Just let it go already.
"I really liked the show--Wish I saw Boy's Night...Am I allowed as I am not a boy anymore:)"-duffyny1
Looking like an 80 year old just sounds like a laughable joke when a person is not even 30 and for example, I can't take it as an opinion. I dont know how anybody could respect that kind of opinion?
I gotta side with MelB4Ever on this one. There are plenty of things you can say about Mel, but saying she looks 80 is ludicrous. Who's Grandma looks like that? For real?
" The only reason I'm even having this pointless argument with you is because you got mad when I said that the picture of Melanie was disgusting. But you know what? In my true, honest opinion, it is. And I honestly think she looks about 80 years old."
The thing is as MelB4Ever already said Melanie B is actually 28 and when you keep saying that she looks 80 years old it is actually a BIG insult to Mel B, apart from being an "opinion" which can hardly be taken seriously.
But I understand that there IS a reason behind your being so hateful towards Melanie Brown. You are a HUGE FAN of Karmine Alers and therefore the jealousy you ooze is understandable now. Just think what if someone would say that Karmine looks like an 80 years old WHORE, would you RESPECT that person's opinion? Or respect him/her generally?
And to other "I'm SO WISE" posters of this board, you have been on here for A LOT longer than any Melanie B fan has. Yet you are surely a fan of an actor or an actress yourself. What would YOU say if someone labled your favorite actress as a "80 YEARS OLD looking WHORE"?
If you would take that as a humble opinion and RESPECT it then I am surely in the WRONG place.
Are you kidding? Of course I would respect that person's opinion. Of course I wouldn't be happy about it, but I'd be wise enough not to say anything about it. And no offense, but why should I care if my saying Mel looks 80 something offends you? Don't you think I wouldn't of posted it if I wasn't expecting someone to argue against it? I was just voicing my opinion. And who says it can hardly be taken seriously? Take a trip to the RENT messageboard. There have been some promo pictures of her in the show passed arond, and people have had similar opinions. And what are you talking about 'I ooze jealousy' because I am a fan of Karmine? That makes absolutley no sense at all, and is not at all true. That's just ridiculous.
As for you questioning the other people 'What would YOU say if someone insulted your favorite actress?' Like I said before, most people would just grimace and move on. Not everyone is bound to like the same person, and it doesn't take much logic to figure that out.

"Are you kidding? Of course I would respect that person's opinion. Of course I wouldn't be happy about it, but I'd be wise enough not to say anything about it."
I did not expect you to reply, but I am very pleased that you did. You just proved having an intelligence of a carrot yet again.
So for YOU, there is NO difference between a humble opinion and a personal INSULT, now you made it CLEAR. This is a free message board and is frequently checked by Broadway actors, so when person in her 20s like Melanie Brown comes across to an appearance INSULT about her looking "like an 80 years old WHORE" coming from you as your "opinion", she has to RESPECT you for that then! Good, now you left NO chance for your "wise" buddies to defend you.
StateOfJade, as a conclusion let me say that I have seen a picture of you and Karmine in your icon and in the fan photos gallery and in all honesty she looks like a five-dollar hooker who is yet to reach puberty. You do not look any better either, but hey it is an opinion just like yours. Respect it babe, RESPECT! :) Good luck with "making a point" in the future. Cheers!
