You’re not actually asking what I disagree with, you’re trying to steer this back into a debate you feel safer having. I read everything you wrote. I understood it. I still found your approach and your attitude ridiculous. That’s the disconnect. You don’t get to rewrite the exchange just because you don’t like how it turned out.

I'm actually very okay with how it turned out. I made my points very clear and I stand by everything I said. So..."

Interesting arc you took there. You went from throwing names around, to calling it a misunderstanding, to now declaring everything “clear” and settled. If that’s where you want to leave it, that works for me.

The conversation started because someone explicitly saidthat his killing was justified (please go back up and read that). So if that's not what you believe, then maybe don't get involved in the conversation."

If you’re going to call people “illiterate,” at least write a sentence that connects its own ideas. Starting with “because we appear to have some illiterate people here” and then jumping to “I am not mourning his death” isn’t a cause and effect, it’s inarticulate gibberish. If you can’t keep your own point logically intact, maybe save the literacy lectures.

I had absolutely no problem understanding the post. Perhaps you should work on your reading comprehension skills...???

TheatreFan4, you have been articulate and clear. They are no longer worth engaging with.

I never imagined this thread would become less interesting and more ridiculous than its presumed subject QofV.

Dropping in with a reminder here to keep this thread on topic and to take any political debates to the Off Topic board, so we can avoid locking this thread.

All I’m gonna say is that the energy KC has been getting is the same energy Nicole Scherzinger should have gotten. But Nicole got a pass (and Tony) because her show was the shiny object, yet Kristin gets in out of town? Selective outrage

Knew this was coming LOL

First of all, Nicole is clearly not the brightest bulb in the box. I personally chalk her hat comment up to that, mostly. I genuinely don’t even think she understood the political implication. Nicole has a history of publicly supporting quite a few progressive democrats. 

Second of all, she did explicitly address the issue and apologize for it pretty swiftly, which Kristin never did.

Third of all, SUNSET and Nicole were a vintage Barolo and a perfectly-prepared steak compared to Cheno and QOV’s flat Pepsi and soggy, overcooked burger. The quality of their performances and respective productions can’t even be compared seriously. 

“Scandals” aside, Nicole was monumental in SUNSET. Kristin was barely alert in QOV. 

Fourth of all, Nicole absoluuuutely caught quite a lot of flack and ire for her comment, even after she addressed it. Let’s not rewrite history and act like no one cared.

Her show just didn’t close. Because it was great and sales were strong.  

No one’s chasing Cheno out of NY because of her Charlie Kirk comments. She chose a sh*t show and audiences didn’t care to see it. I am sure if she was giving a Nicole-level performance in a SUNSET-level show, it would still be running.
