Looking for a theatre director

"You say 'Musical Mum takes the brunt of the criticism'...but you'll notice she CHOSE to take the brunt - it was never aimed at her specifically."

I disagree entirely. The "brunt" of the criticism that I "chose" to take and that I am quite sure Don is referring to comes from your second post that was directed solely at me. Seems fairly reasonable I would then "chose" to take it such.

"But a telling moment is when she says "Despite your little arrogant rant about MY 'limited vision'.."

This is exactly what I was saying above about claiming responsibility. My original statement was that 'the ARTS SCENE IN PERTH has limited vision'. "

Actually your original statements were: "So by 'relevant', you make the assumption that plays being put on in in VIC should not advertise Australia-wide for a director?

That demonstrates one of the ways the arts scene in Perth has limited vision." [bold emphasis added]

Yes, your 2nd statement referred to the "arts scene in Perth" and presumably you mean the people in the arts scene, but you attribute my statement as being a demonstration of said limited vision. Ergo, it is again entirely reasonable that I personally was being endowed with that limited vision you spoke of.

"Somehow she took it as a personal insult, but I was intending my arguments to the topic in general, not to any individual target."

Again, you claim generality but directed your arguments and response (post 2) directly to me. There's no "somehow" about it. You meant to and did directly and personally throw more than one insult my way.

"Does it really make a difference? I'm pretty sure I have my filter settings to 'browse everything' and I've never felt inundated or confused by anything from other states here, ever. I've already over-stated my point about how easy it is to look up info if it's not included about a venue. So what was the big deal?"

Between February and April there over 75 auditions advertised across the country; over 110 productions/events. I accept that for you it is easy and no big deal to have to trawl through all of those individually to find out which ones are in WA or whichever State you're looking for (and of course don't forget (and the techies can correct me if I'm wrong), but that location that appears in the brackets in the title comes from the location filter that you'd be happy to dispense with). So if you are looking for State based auditions and productions, for a great number of those, you'd be opening them up and having a read to find out where they were.

A "big deal"? Probably not. A pain in the arse? You betcha. Soo much better and more convenient to look at just the State list? Well, for me and Labrug, evidently so. I'd venture for many others too. Just sayin.......

Not quite sure what you are referring to regarding browser settings and browse everything. When you go to the auditions or productions section, you get a drop down list of the States. Didn't think you could eliminate that drop down menu.

"but I hope to enjoy more friendly debate with you over a coffee break sometime, if you choose to reveal yourself."

Hmmm.....inclined to think it'd be more fun to retain the unknown element for as long as it lasts! I'm thinking though you may well have already busted me before our first gig together. :) Time will tell......See ya in the trenches!
