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?

My thoughts too. Most of the removed postings were simple statements of common sense. While there may have been some rather inflamitory remarks which I feel deserved removal, and in some case had been removed using built-in site features, most of those removed were non-specific, advice collumn type stuff.

When censorship can be used to suppress common sense, where can you go from there?
