Alextroy, freedom of speech is a glorious thing, however, this is a site devoted to the love of theatre. The moderators have the right to tone down the heading of a post, they can remove any thread or post they feel is unjust.
While your opinion of DVR's performance is completely fair, your heading was harsh, and not a good way to present your feelings on her performance, or any performance. Negativity of any kind, when discussing performers should be more careful, in my opinion. This is basically a privilege to be able to voice one's opinion about performances online, but keep in mind there are many ways to express discontent with a performance. You can be constructive, or you can be abusive. The word "Horrendous" is abusive. To start a thread that way immediately negates anyone coming into this thread and have a civilized discussion about her performance, and it also slams those who actually liked her in the role (and I know many people who did like her, or at least appreciated her performance).
I applaud the moderaters for changing the very harsh thread heading, and I encourage the moderators to keep working towards more civilized discussions about performers here.
