Report Abuse Links opinion thread — Page 4

Matthew Murray did a nice tweetstorm about this. Unfortunately, he didn't chain these together, so you'll have to look at his main profile page, but they should still be easy to find.

i am confused. did a poster using a fake screenname ---- margo ---- just criticize someone else for using a fake screennanme and not their real name.  that makes no sense 

Kad said: "Patti Murin, Lea Salonga, Will Swenson- these are all actors who are fortunate enough to have made careers in performing. They work regularly. They are often well-reviewed. They have devoted fanbases.

Why does the idea that somewhere on the internet, there is a place where a minority of people can say bitchy things, sometimes about them, bother them so much?"

I'm reminded that Lea Salonga insisted that preview discussions should be banned or something from evil chat boards like this, during the Allegiance previews, yet all the creative criticisms in the preview thread were echoed in the reviews. That doesn't always happen, but ignoring or attacking the very fans who make the effort to approach the art and share their experienced opinions (e.g. Whizzer) is shortsighted at best.

I'm of the opinion that smart performers should just ignore discussion boards anyway because their skins will never be thick enough for criticisms given by audience members (some are warranted, others not, but they probably read all the same to those who are emotionally vested). But the producers and creative teams should check out where the buzz is.

I can't believe I actually agree with Matthew Murray.

I'm here to comment on performances I've seen, or why I have chosen not to spend my money on performances that other people are putting up in good faith.

I am not here to "help" their performances.  

Thanks for sharing the M. Murray link, Lizzie. He's 100% right.

"Are these actors not able to distinguish between fantasy and reality?

Or are they so narcissistic that just can't separate the two?"

Perhaps not.

margo319 is not your real name. and if it is margo, that is only your first name which still makes you ANONYMOUS.  you hypocritical bully 

Lay off Margo319. Hassling her doesn't help anything.

Just add to the ignore list. It exists for a (many) reasons.

Matthew Murray runs ATC, right? Maybe I should get an account there.

sorry but my biggest pet peeve is hypocrisy. you cant rip into another poster because they choose not to use their real full name unless YOU are already using your own real full name. that is a double standard. it is hypocritcal. no patience for it.  so you lay off me
