Hello everybody.
As some of you may know, my name is Brandon. I have been a member of BroadwayWorld.com for a few months now. I have met many people on the boards who I have become good friends with and enjoy. It has also been nice to be able to come to a community where there are so many other people who share the same passion for Broadway as I do. I would also like to commend Rob and Craig for doing such an excellent job with running such an excellent site, that keeps so many people up-to-date with everything that is going on in the Broadway community. That being said. . .
I will no longer continue to be a member of BroadwayWorld.com. The constant negativity that surfaces this board is completely outrageous and is getting way out of control. I have surronded myself with it for many months now, and I simply can no longer handle it. I am not complaining, or saying that everyone on this board is terrible. There are MANY people on here who I adore, and enjoy reading their posts. However, it always seems that no matter what thread you are reading, there's always a ton of negativity that follows it.
One instance of this is the CONSTANT battering and harassment of Broadway performers. Now, we are, of course, entitled to our opinions. However, I find it extremely unnecessary to state that a Broadway performer has no talent whatsoever. For example, there was a thread about Shoshana Bean making an appearance on the hit MTV show, Made. Someone SIMPLY asked 'what is Shoshana doing on the show?'. The VERY FIRST reply was 'teaching someone how to be untalented'. Why do you people do this? It's completely unnecessary and extremely immature. I am simply fed up with these kind of posts. It's getting out of hand.
Because of this, I will no longer be a poster on BWW.com. I just can not handle the constant bickering and negativity that is the message board. I want to thank those of you who were so kind to me. I truly appreciate it.
I will continue to post updates about Cheyenne Jackson and Justin Patterson, whose fan sites I operate. However, other than that, I will no longer promote or interact with this board. Like I said, it is NOT everybody on this board.
I would still like to continue contact with some of you. Below is my e-mail address. Feel free to e-mail at anytime. Just because I no longer do not post on here does not mean I want to lose contact with you guys completely.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope everybody is doing well, and I wish you all a happy holiday season.
