I write regarding the closure and censorship of the below thread - Blackbox Management: Good or Bad? http://www.theatre.asn.au/node/5973 I recently had a young actress write to me and ask a question about her agency, so I sent her this link. It is a tradgic shame that dozens of people's comments have been censored, but I respect Theatre Australia for having posted that these messages were deleted as a result of one John W. of Blackbox Management. It is made clear to everyone what is really going on. This young actress was, suffice it to say, not happy in her current situation. Will you delete my post for saying that?

Interesting Censorship

I find it most interesting that many of the comments "removed" actually had more to do with critical advise than actual defamation. I have no first hand experience of the agency myself and a lot of my posting were advice type comments and thoughts about the stong level of complaint.

When even tips and advice are censored, you then have to wonder.
