Patti Murin takes on BWW Chat Boards... — Page 8

Kad said: "Patti, girl: who do you think the members here are?

They're the ones who sit on rush lines and crowd at lotteries. They're the ones who performed in school shows.  Many of them work for theatres, maybe ones you have worked for, too. Or they work for your unions, as your house staff, or in your box offices. They're the ones who wait with bated breath to hear about a new show in previews. They're the ones who are excited that a show like She Lives Me is revived. They have seen all the great divas, all the Golden Age shows. They're the ones who trek to New York from Missouri or California or overseas. They know all the lyrics. They know who the understudies and swings are. And, girl, they know who you are."

They certainly know that name now, and not in a positive way at all. This should be stickied.

Me reading Kad's marvelous post:

In person? 

If you're both in NYC, I don't see why not.

Here's the thing. It's impossible to hold an actual conversation on Twitter due to the stupid character limit. You'd have to take it to DM. Or post screenshots of long texts the way some people do.

Just point her toward this thread. We've done our talking.

whew just unfollowed her, that was awkward for a sec. yeah idk why she wants to sit down with me (and if she means in person or on the phone or what) I just wanted to prove her wrong about "no one" coming forward I guess. ha! she's wrong.

idk if she's reading this thread but I'm considering tweeting her saying she can DM me. I don't want to come off as ingratiating though.

Not if you're no longer following her she can't (unless Twitter has since changed that rule)

Okay, this is my very last post on this particular thread just because I honestly don't want/care to get any further entangled in this. I've just had a quote on my mind as this evening has unfolded:

“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

With that, peace.

Pootie2 said: "In order to save face, she had to praise Rob for releasing the reporting link that they were already working on, before this Nerds business, and take credit for that. That's pretty much it."

To be fair, the mod post did mention her by name. They didn't credit her for the creation, but they did credit her for the timing. She has every right to claim credit when it's freely given to her first.

Whether or not she should've received that credit is something else entirely.

Oh, Rob did set that up.

Jay Lerner-Z said: "Gypsy, you've never heard of her before this. Don't feed her ego. You have no obligation to represent the entirety of the board population."

Now, if the real Patti was asking for a discussion...

if real Patti said we should sit and talk I would be there in a heartbeat.

Namo, I like your light snark.

I like how she's replying to you indirectly, allowing all her followers to see the exchange. 

She's not really talking to you at all.
