The Blackbox Debate
Thu, 2 Nov 2006, 07:24 pmI write regarding the closure and censorship of the below thread - Blackbox Management: Good or Bad?

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?
and as said earlier

much was general advice, a lot replies to other posters, and some of it I seemed to remember was plain innocuous.
some of mine in particular (which probably in hindsight deserved to be at the least 'edited') were aimed at a certain inflammatory poster, not BBM at all.
My understanding, however, is that free speech is not a right guaranteed in Australian law anyway... anyone more full-bottle on constitutional law?
