Report Abuse Links opinion thread — Page 10

I am getting confused with so many threads, did BK's big diatribe to FN get deleted?

Also I feel like the REAL Patti shares our deep passion for theater, the good AND the bad. I surely hope she won't be joining the crusade against us.

Yup.  And poor dead gothampc assigned the blame to me!!!!!  Whatever the Republican version of RIP may be. 

Thanks, bwayto!

I miss goth.  Now that he's gone, I guess there's no harm in admitting that I met him once.

The saddest nerd words: what might have been. 

Thank you for keeping us up with him!  He is really killing it.

I can!  Yesterday I had a comment deleted within seconds. 

It was so benign, but whatever. 

LOL I don't log into BW for a couple days and come back and nothing but drama and scandal! I leave you alone for 2 days....

Yeah, if I'd known it'd be this quick, I'd have asked an actor to become an essayist about the racism and misogyny here years ago!

The fact that the Patti Murin thread was closed off is disgusting. But I loved how it was kept going long enough for the "scandal" to heighten BWW's trafficking. But with these new rules, BWW Message Board is completely safe. There's no need to shut it down - after all, then where would BWW get its news?

so far I saw

 

Hilty, Rannells, Salonga, Miles and Pasquale 

 

If she is able to get her demands met, what does that say about the powers that be? Weak. Why debut the abuse button right after she complained?

I totally respect this even though I'm fans of many of these people. I'm disgusted by the language in Murin's post yet these theater professionals are jumping on the bandwagon.

 

I wanted to reply to them all via Twitter and tell them of the misinformation they are spreading but (a) I don't use Twitter for that purpose (b) Twitter doesn't let you have meaningful discourse.

 

Edited: Lea is not involved at all. I had to double check because I follow her on Twitter and she has never tweeted about this. Turns out it is her FAKE Facebook page with the nasty post. She hasn't been involved at all.

 

The list is actually way too huge now as the misinformation spreads like wildfire, so it looks like we would have to boycott theater. But I would definitely appreciate this list to be compiled, so that if I ever got to meet them at stage door I could politely correct them as to how UTTERLY WRONG they are.

 

Is there no one on the theatergoers' side or is that professional suicide??
