From someone who's been here from the beginning (and been moderating message boards long before this one was ever around) I have an idea for everyone:
Shut up, suck it up and get over it. I agree that all the pointless Wicked threads are annoying but they're there and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. So you know what? DONT READ 'EM. Don't jump in and stir up trouble, don't be a blanket of freaking negativity and let the kids enjoy what they want.
I saw Wicked -- I loved it. Do I post on every nuance of the show? No. Do I care what Idina and Kristen do outside the theatre? No, not really. They're people too, and I'm sure they do things much like the rest of us. It's really not all that exciting.
There are fanatics for every show, and there are always going to be... I'm sure EVERYONE jumping on the "Wicked-ites" has their own show that they are completely fanatical about. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
The bottom line it this is a MESSAGE BOARD. Many of us don't know each other offline, and probably never WILL know each other offline. Why waste time and energy getting all worked up over something posted here? I'm sure your energy could be put to better use elsewhere.
I'm stepping off my soapbox now.
