Appearing in the NY Daily News yesterday:

I noticed Ann, the moderator at All That Chat, immediately removed any and all controversial posts that appeared there after the thread was first posted (except one). What is that woman afraid of? The reason I enjoy this board so much is because it's not censored. Apparently, ALL THAT CHAT is the theater chat equivalent of Scientology: You must BELIEVE and follow its PHILOSOPHY...or face the Consequences.

All That Chat sounds extremely cult-ish.

Except for 1 knowledgeable poster and 1 hilariously stupid poster, All That Chat is useless.

When I saw Shaiman's post I was curious to know who he was talking about. It's interesting that the Daily News actually decided to make a print story out of the ordeal. How sad to see a 40-year friendship end like this...I wonder how it will impact Crossley's career.

I actually saw Crossley's original post and couldn't believe what I was seeing/reading. The fact that she is/was in the Broadway Community and has worked with SO many LGBTQ people, it really just blows my mind. I lost a lot of respect for her after seeing her post.

She was even one of Bette Midler's Harletts.

I guess Vilanch summed it up when he said she goes through phases (lesbianism, drug use, a few husbands) and this is her latest.
