Were there actual death threats or is everybody just getting caught up in the latest craze of overstating harm (i.e. the new normal)?  I want examples.

Jesus, what a bunch of thin skinned whiners! I guess this is the new face of BBW! Boo Hoo Pal Joey didn't like your text formatting. Grow a pair!

I never felt "UNsafe", but in my case, as a newcomer, I experienced everything exactly as described by Margo319, ghostlight2, and After Eight. You know how relentless PalJoey currently is regarding an apology? That's how relentless he and the other "1%ers" were regarding:

     * responding to nearly everything I posted with two words: "Siddown John"

     * PalJoey was relentless in his insistence that I was a shill for the show Matilda. Every post I wrote about that show had a response from him implying that I was someone to be shunned because the date I joined the board (around Tony time) was positive proof that I was most definitely a shill.

     * Although my posts regarding topics other than Matilda may not have offended PalJoey, my use of text formatting was definitely not to his liking - so I heard from him on that subject... a LOT.

There was a bandwagon effect to the point that nearly everything I posted received some kind of negative response. Not because of what I wrote, but just because it was "fun" or "sport" for those people. It just got really old, really fast, so I stopped posting and read the board anonymously. Also, I found that I'd become so wary of the negative comments directed at me that I began to make some unwarranted responses of my own.

Dramamama611 may remember me lashing out at her (mistakenly) because her avatar was the same as After Eight's, who had recently sent some snark my way. Also, I recall snapping at Tazber, who had always been pretty decent towards me, over some odd thing (can't remember, now) - so I knew I was definitely not welcome here, and it effected me in a way that I was doing things I found reprehensible.

The things I experienced from PalJoey and the 1% were annoying, but not scarring. The things I saw written about other posters (outright vehemence and hatred) were much more upsetting.

 

"

Nope, don't remember as thing, but I'm fairly certain my avatar has NEVER been the same same as A8's - how dare you. (See, that's sarcasm, from which no one is spared.)

But the rhetoric on this thread is ridiculous. It's as bad as a middle school lunch room.

"my avatar has NEVER been the same same as A8's"

 

I don't have an avatar.

We must all be sure to give trigger warnings to Margo Millennial.

Are people getting Pal Joey mixed up with someone else.  PJ is one of the most courteous posters here.

Aren't these accusations of BWW posters being thin-skinned hugely ironic, given the way this fiasco all started?

More and more a musical of this board makes sense. It's got a dramatic arch, clear charachters, plenty of arguments, and some antagonists.

I agree fully. PalJoey is not only one of the nicest, he's also one of the most knowledgeable posters on the board.

LOL!

I stumbled back in here to take another look at others' views on American Psycho after seeing it myself, and found this mess!

I haven't posted in several weeks and my production at work has gotten me two promotions!

As one of the expats of this board, which, since I am posting, makes no sense, it seems to me that y'all need to calm the eff down!

I left for many reasons:

Trolls were left to run rampant and calling them out became a crime.

Fun threads were few and far between.

So many of my favorites already left and/or we are friends on Facebook.

Benign posts were being deleted and alarming ones were able to stay.

Whiners were winning and noone could take an effing joke.

NOW someone is trying to shame PAL JOEY?! PJ?!! One of the smartest, funniest and sweetest posters ever on these boards? I guarantee if PJ had anything bad to say about a show, the boards or another poster, it was deserved and probably funny.

I don't know if I'll hang out here again...I sure do miss some of you and DO like to give my opinions of shows, films, television, usually trying to be informative and crack a joke. If that meant saying something stunk or someone was miscast, etc., it was my opinion and noone needed to heed it or agree with it.

 

And I'll only be satisfied if Megan Hilty apologizes to BWW during her Tony acceptance speech...because I don't know who Patti Moron is.

"Whiners were winning and noone could take an effing joke."

 

Funny, but those who doled out these harmless "jokes" by the bucketful didn't seem to laugh if the objects of their "jokes" returned the favor.

 

I wonder why.

Okay now I am pissed the fuck off!!!  PJ may be alot of things (all of them good) but he is NOT and never has been a bully! He's one of the coolest people on this board and he is a truly sweet man. 

How fucking dare you Margo319!!

"Thank you After Eight."

Actually, that was me, Margo, and I'd appreciate it if you stopped quoting me. You are very much a part of what you've been railing against, and while Joey and I aren't exactly pals, your personal attacks against him belie your stated beliefs.

I also don't like that, whether you know it or not, you appropriated a beloved and departed (not by choice, but by death) member's name.
