No, no, sweetie, here, let me explain. What I meant by meaning you are banned from the high road is that after the little stunt of yours in this thread you can no longer claim to be above childish and mean behavior. You can no longer take that mature and schoolmarmish tone because you have just completely shot your credibility to hell. You have proven that you are just as much of an instigator as those you criticize, more even. Because, really, what WAS in it for you to add what you did to this thread? Hmmmm?

JohnPapa,

Being that I am a comic fan, and actor with a passion for the theatre, I must say that I enjoyed your post(s) - especially your last one prior to this one, and I must also say that I agree with you wholeheartedly. It disgusts me to come on message boards and see people bashing performers or artists, and come to the conclusion that the people doing all the bashing probably couldn't even do what these people are doing, and are nothing but instigators and jealous losers behind a computer screen who are envious and jealous, and partially self-resenting, because they don't have the guts or/nor the talent to get out there and do what these people are doing.

I also believe that you didn't say anything particularly insulting, and that you were right in saying what you did, and anyone who disagrees with you, or takes the defensive obviously has something to feel guilty about, or has some kind of insecurity/projection issues. The reason I say projection, is because a lot of these people who bash artists and performers pitiously, probably feel terrible about themselves, and the best way to alleviate these feelings is by making someone else look bad, or at least to them, therefore saving them from having horrible feeling about themselves - a simple defense mechanism.

I DO know one thing - I DO criticize performers....but it is not because of petty reasons. I do support my reasons why I don't like or do like a performance. Everyone does. But to uneccesarily criticize and be rude is just plain disgusting and not neccessary.

Cheers,
The Balladeer
