I don't know who Matthew Murray is but it seems we're on the same page.

@MMurrayOnBway I wish you would have tagged me in your tweets about the blog I wrote. I would love to talk about it with you sometime?"

Oh, so like she tagged the people here she was talking about?

Oh...wait.... She just talked **** about them behind their backs.

My name is Clyde Barrow. My parents were big fans of Bonnie & Clyde...the Musical.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. In any case, it's the other site, but I have an issue with the default format like ClydeBarrow. Flat mode is okay.

I'd love to sit down with Patti and discuss this, but I literally have tweeted once, and I'm not sure this outweighs that.

Maybe this could be a panel for the 2016 BroadwayCon. It would be like speed dating but with Patti stopping by to tell you not to make fun of people and be so mean.

Even more surprising is that a lot of people did."

Do you think THE Patti Murin has time to sign on to BWW and message the people she called out in her blog? Obviously she only has time to respond immediately to those who tweet at her or comment on her blog. She wouldn't want to do anything privately because then people won't see how brave she is. Honestly the only reason I commented on the blog itself was because she kept bringing up my comment so I simply said that it was a joke that she didn't understand and to get over it. She said she wants to get a drink and discuss it or blah blah blah but I'm really not interested in defending my actions to someone who also already has their mind made up about the situation.

No, then she'd actually be talking to people instead of behind their backs. It'd have to be her visiting tables and telling you how the people at the next table need to stop being so mean--and then making snarky off-handed remarks about other people who she doesn't know & who aren't there.

She's obviously monitoring ours

She probably expects the person with a job to pay. 

What kind of personality craves validation so much that she's asking to meet strangers to discuss her opinions of appropriate discussion topics?  Is the husband coming to, for her safety?  Is the person she's meeting expected to pay?  What the hell?

I recommend she go back to not reading the boards.

And we start that Why We're Not Seeing Your Show thread.

I'm amused how this thread got started.  For starters, what makes you think you're entitled to have a voice in the thread announcing a site change that was posted by the moderators?  Starting your own thread to discuss it was the right course of action. However, I noticed that your initial post doesn't do anything to further the conversation other than to say you didn't get to post in another thread.  Might I suggest next time you take a potshot at the people who provide an outlet for you to express your opinions - that you actually share an opinion on the topic.  

As for "implication" - it's simple. Nothing has changed the way I see it other than there's now a means for people to report a post vs a thread. The implication is, instead of moderators having to police 24/7 - they are provided assistance by the community to weed out those posts which go against forum rules. What it might mean is that some people will be as accountable for what they say as they should have always been - but might not have.
