You're a bully, Phyllis. And a racist. At least as we're using the terms on this thread, which is to say, they're completely devoid of meaning and warped in every way possible.
Ugh. I thought this thread was back to being funny. Why do you have to ruin everything, sue?!?!
Yeah, no. All of that, just... no.
Snark is not bullying. Don't belittle bullying like that.
No, the deleted posts came much later in the day.
So we're back to if anyone disagrees with someone, it's bullying.

Wow, consider me chastised. The problem isn't the casual racism on this board and the cluelessness of the people that perpetuate it - it's me!
Sue, you said (yes, in a different thread) that Broadway Guy hangs outside schoolyard while little girls are in them... is that not bullying?
Phyllis, i will say as much as i hate to defend you, that the other posts against her were much much worse which is prob why they were deleted.
It gets better.
Sue, you said (yes, in a different thread) that Broadway Guy hangs outside schoolyard while little girls are in them... is that not bullying?
Wybish, as you well know, as you were on that thread, i apologized to broadwayguy for calling him a JB fan and that i went below the belt. He said, it was OK, he deserved it. and we literally xoxo each other and all was good.
The "being a JB" fan was not the most offensive part, or is the commentor the only person allowed to decide what is most offensive? Just like Dave and his racist jokes?

None of these posts were deleted. In fact, the only posts that seem to have been deleted were posts mocking the causal racism of posts like this. It's like BWW has no problem with casual racism, but if you MOCK casual racism, look out!
Remember that thread about Rita Moreno winning the Supporting Actress Oscar? Something comparing her to Anne Hathaway, I never got why that one got deleted. Is it because Rita is Puerto Rican? Was Anne being bullied?
Wybish, you are just itching for a fight arent you? youre stretching. Im not biting
Phyllis: contrary to some peoples conspiracies, im not a mod, i have no answer.

I never implied you a mod. Just pointing out if you don't think those are worse than anything I've said, you're nothing but the troll we all know you are.

I'm confused. Dave19 didn't even enter the conversation until the middle of the third page page. Before his first post we read "fo' sho'", "Anniqua", "Shanikuah", "LOL. Black people and their funny names LOL", "Shalanaqua from the weave store", Cool Aid (sic), "You guys are just so funny. Do you think Annie should drink a lot of grape soda and play dice on the street, too? Should her teeth be white or should she have a grill? Will Sandy be a pit bull she fights for cash? What other stereotypes would you like to see in the movie?", "We'd Like To Thank You, Colonel Sanders", "are you forgetting that Benjamin Stacks is also a drug dealer?", "I am so glad I found a board dedicated to keeping musical theater white! I am thrilled to be in the same
company as all of you! I bet Mrs. Pugh serves Benji Negrobucks fried chicken and watermelon instead of Virigina Ham and Baked Alaska! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
All before Dave19 wrote a word but no one ganged up on any of those posters. Oscar Hammerstein II was right, you do have to be carefully taught who to hate. Can someone post a list of posters we're supposed to hate on sight and who gets a pass for writing essentially the same things?
PHYLLIS. did you not see what i wrote above? i defended you by saying that what you wrote WAS NOT as bad as what the others wrote which is why they were deleted!!!!!!!
Except many of those posts were made mockingly of the reaction this announcement provoked.
And in the last example, from an obvious puppet account.

"LOL. Black people and their funny names LOL" was me. It wasn't meant to actually imply black people had funny names, but was to deride the people who WERE coming up with "black people" names for Annie. JEEEESSSSSUSS.

And actually, people DID object right away to those posts. I think the big difference is those poster didn't stick around trying to assert that not only were there jokes funny, but that those who didn't like them were, in fact, the racists.
I don't hate Dave; I don't know him. But I dislike casual racism, phony logic, and hypocrisy.
show me some love phyllis, you can keep hating me, but you were wrong about me in this instance.

You're right, I misread you. But as I never saw the posts that were deleted about All That Jazz, I can't comment on them. But, still, you seem to be saying that I was saying was bullying, when I just pointed out the incongruity of posting a racist comment, then posting "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" and then saying "I'm not racist at all."
So yeah, there's my mea culpa.
None of the deleted posts were directed at All That Jazz.
