Get a life, find something to do with your time besides try to squelch another forum member, I NEVER have treated anyone here the way some of you go after me, day in, day out its getting old.

I doubt if you met me on the street you would run your big mouth.

lol, *I* should get a life? You're the one who posts every. single. news update as though it's some kind of grand breakthrough. Even the ones that have been out for days! I don't go after you "day in and day out," so stop whining. If you feel so consistently attacked or what-the-hell-ever, maybe you should consider WHY.

And if I met you on the street, I'd have no idea who you were. So your point is therefore moot.

Seeing as I was the only one who had commented thusfar, I'm not really sure how I was NOT supposed to assume you were bitching at me.

billynj - sorry if I am on the list of people whom you consider to be bullies. I don't want this to be personal. You are of course entitled to your opinion and I am not trying to make you feel 'uncomfortable'. Unfortunately, your posts take a certain editorial tone which seems to be forced on people at every turn. Almost 40 posts on the strike subject and the vast majority of them pushing your opinion down people's throats. You have used conjecture, misinformation and outright name calling to denigrate Local One and its membership. This is not the spirit of these boards. Yes... free thought and opinions are what this is all about but your us-and-them posture and polarizing influence illicits unfavorable responses.

As for my reference to your "un-authorized" post of the Spotlight Newsletter... you are quite correct, it is available freely on the Local One website. I didn't take exception to your use of it. What I did not appreciate is that a.) you did not correctly identify the source of the link as required in the rules of this board and b.) you chose to USE this document (by selecting a quote which you felt would piss people off) to substantiate or justify your denigrating subject heading. I suspect that this is what led to it being deleted.

In closing, I'm sure that if you change your tone somewhat then people won't pick on you. I for one would have no problem with factual opinions being expressed by you and would welcome an exchange with you on the street. I don't hide behind this board. I stand by my convictions and my statements here.

WELL SAID jrb_actor

I can't WAIT to see what people fight about next after the strike is settled!

(If Josh F. reads this--yes, it will. Deep breaths. A paper bag is your best accessory.)

I doubt if you met me on the street you would run your big mouth.

Rememeber: Who you are on BroadwayWorld is who you are in the rest of your life.
