Steven Spielberg, keep ben Platt away from the west side story remake — Page 7

This thread is still the first picture to me.

What annoys me more is reactions like yours, missing content related to the subject of the thread.

It's like when people are losing the discussion or are out of arguments, they go in another mode, the mode of critisizing behaviour of people they don't agree with. That is actually how almost every thread on this board devolves. Proof here.

I love it. You criticize another poster for writing a post that has nothing to do with the subject of the thread, while you are doing the exact same thing. Your post has nothing to do with Ben's performance.

That's different.

And what is your opinion on the matter?"

Dave, I’m not sure why you felt my meme was addressing you specifically. I actually find most of your posts very informative and insightful. Plus it appears we both Olivia. She and her music got this gay man through his awkward closeted teenage years a gazillion years ago. Admittedly, my post might have made more sense before the moderators deleted some of the posts on here. I have been known to get thin-skinned or overly sensitive on the board (usually when my judgment is clouded or distracted by stuff from my personal life). When that happens I try to apologize. Doesn’t undo the damage, though. I just strive in my everyday interactions to have civil conversations with others face-to-face and am disappointed when I or others digress from that on here. It all comes to expectations, I suppose. The reality is we all love theater or we wouldn’t be on here. It would just be nice if people remembered that opinion does not equal fact and accept that people are entitled to their own opinions as is the next poster. And I don’t think it’s helpful to call certain actors or actresses “eyesores” as others did previously on this thread. Once again, I’m not accusing you of any of this. As fellow theater lovers, I’m sure we agree on a great majority of things. “A million lights are dancing and you are, a shooting star/An everlasting world and you're here with me, eternally/Xanadu, Xanadu”

Thanks Miles2Go2! Those are some very nice words and I agree with you. We are all different.

Also, I didn't feel it was addressing me specifically, I just reacted on the posts of "you are all mean" and the "this thread became a sh*t fight" meme, because in my opinion this thread was still civilized and entertaining.

But then again, I am a person you can say anything to and I've never really been offended by anything anyone says. But you are right, everyone has their own way of handling things.

Thanks for showing character! It's always nice to hear a bit more about other posters.

What an unpleasant thread."

Agreed! I was joking around earlier in the thread but people are taking this video way too seriously. I can't imagine why anyone would have so much ill will towards a performer

Now, THIS is talent.

It's not you. And you're one of the classier, more helpful members of the board that we should all aspire to."

Thanks, smidge, I appreciate that.

Nothing inhumane happened in this thread so your post was simply not true.

Amen, NYCHAPPY. I adored Ben in DEH, but his version was horrendous. The NYTimes the other day posted a video of Ben Bliss singing... now that is how Tony should sound. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/16/arts/music/classical-music-youtube.html?module=WatchingPortal&region=c-column-middle-span-region&pgType=Homepage&action=click&mediaId=thumb_square&state=standard&contentPlacement=3&version=internal&contentCollection=www.nytimes.com&contentId=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2018%2F03%2F16%2Farts%2Fmusic%2Fclassical-music-youtube.html&eventName=Watching-article-click
