Please Read: My Message to the Members of BWW.com — Page 3

First off, the only time I see him post is to give us Cheyenne updates.

Second, if you are still going to post updates, you aren't leaving BWW, and thus - (need I continue?)

And third, the only thing that makes this place tiresome is the constant "'I'm leaving' threads." Talk about negativity.

YOUWANTITTHEN. My post wasn't specifically to you.

Another thing : Willact thinks things are bad here. BUT he would not last an HOUR at ATC, talk about bitter queens. The would absolutely eat him alive over there at ATC.

Right, I forgot them. You get my point though.

No, actually I don't - to be honest.

So, if a show is popular, with fans, it is OK for folks to tear the leads apart with demeaning comments and personal attacks?

Regardless of the star or the success of the show, this is not right.

To me, performers can suck. It is what their voice to me is, that I will express; and if that is "sucking" then I will say it. I would say it to there face and I will say it not to there face.

AND like I said in that post, THERE ARE MORE THAN JSUT IDINA AND SHOSHANA!!! You just mentioned those two, and only them. DON'T YOU GET WHAT I WAS SAYING!? There is more than them, I didn't say they suck, I said WHO CARES if we say.

And now, I don't even care about any point other than THERE ARE MORE THAN IDINA AND SHOSHANA!!!!!!!!!!

theatreboy, THAT was BEAUTIFUL!

here here, theatreboy

what bothers me is when people are 'rude' with nothing to back it up. If you said Sutton, or Kristin, or Eden, Bernadette, or Sara, Lea,sucks! that is bad, yes bad on your part. But if you say I did not like Sutton, or Kristin, or Eden, Bernadette, or Sara, Lea, because blah blah blah then that is fine.

(thank you YouWantitWhen????)

Horton, I suggest you change the name to Sutton, or Kristin, or Eden, Bernadette, or Sara, Lea, or someone other than Idina or, god forbid, Shoshana.

Because I guess different rules apply to them. For all other stars, semi-stars, and performers, it is not OK to attack them personally and tear them apart when you don't like then, or, prefer the original to the replacement.

And, honest criticism is fine. If you don't like a performance, I am happy to hear about it so I might save some money. If someone truly does "suck" in a role, well, then perhaps they were miscast, are bad, or had an off night. Who knows. But if you provide me reasons that I can actually understand for your criticisms, and don't attack the performer, question the reaason for their birth, and then compare them to an ugly troll - well I will listen.

And, to echo others, nice post Theatreboy

willact4food,

If you think it gets dramatic here, this is nothing compared to the real "Broadway World."

I work in the theatre, and it gets much worse, so, if you can't handle this website, than guess what, you are in the wrong industry (if you are in it in the first place).

Goodbye - don't come back, you crybaby drama queen.

wow i wish i messaged this thread MUCH earlier. I feel the need to quote someone.

“when you live in a glass house you really should not throw stones.”

Where you expecting sunshine when you wrote this good-bye message? By the way, I just want to give a little holler to theatre boy who said everything I wanted to say with a more articulate tone.

I think it’s unfortunate that a member of BWW would want to leave, but let’s face it guys, negativity is everywhere no matter what. It’s in our lives, our thoughts, the shows we know and love, even the actors we know and love (whether they show it or not), and of coarse our message boards. Someone before said that people do it to be funny or to egg other people on. Keep that in mind.

Also, actors get over the negative criticism. They’d have to otherwise they wouldn’t be actors. That’s the thing about them, they have a certain level of ego that hopefully doesn’t go to their head but it also helps them not care so much about the extreme negativity by some theatre go-ers. They know that the same amount of people, maybe more love them. I think it’s silly to want to leave a message board because everything isn't said nicely.

What would the world be like if absolutely everyone was nice about EVERYTHING? Kinda boring. This way we get to argue and get to learn more about the other side. If this small amount a negativity really affects you that much, you need a therapist in order to deal with the world because we’ll all have to deal with it for the rest of our lives.

Believe me, actors wouldn’t be actors if they didn’t expect to be bashed by anyone. Not everyone can love you, and I personally think comments such as "teaching someone how to be untalented" is minor to what most people consider nasty or vile.
