Let's stick to the appropriate fora for a change
Tue, 14 Oct 2008, 10:51 amThis website is very neatly divided up into separate fora (or forums if you must) plus there is a facility for registrants to maintain personal blogs. Lately, it seems to me that the divisions are becoming somewhat blurred. For example, someone starts off expressing some personal thoughts on his own blog which generates into a debate about pro-v-am theatre and then gets into a review of his latest play. In another case, someone posts a perfectly useful (if a bit biased) review on the Revies forum, then a cast member responds (inappropriately I maintain) in a long boring post about the sacrifices he had to make for his art or some such self-serving twaddle, more appropriate to a blog.
Then of course there are an increasing number of posteurs sending cheerios to each other on general fora. Please don't - it is not really all that interesting for the rest of us - and don't forget that includes everyone on the World Wide Web!
As for trolls - remember the story of the three billygoats gruff...nuff said!-)
An apology
Fri, 17 Oct 2008, 07:56 amMr Stinger has messaged me privately to express his hurt at my accusations that he was having a dig at Greg Ross and also to defend himself against accusations that he has had digs at Mr Ross in the past.
He assures me he meant no harm and his comments were intended to be light-hearted and not taken seriously. He states there is nothing disrepectful toward Greg Ross in his blog or anywhere else on this site. He has taken offence to me calling him by his given name instead of his pseudonym and feels I have overreacted to his witticisms. He states my suspicions are my own and not based on any hard evidence.
In the interests of harmony and because Stinger has been so passionate about challenging me on the matter I am persuaded to offer an unreserved apology to him. I do this publicly so he in turn can be convinced I mean it.
Stinger, I hope this helps. In case anyone else is still confused THERE ARE NO BAD FEELINGS ON THE PART OF STINGER TOWARD MR GREG ROSS. Everyone got that?
There's a prize to anyone who can write a play where Stinger, Greg Ross, myself and Daniel Kershaw all appear onstage as buddies for next year's Dramafest. Let's move on - theatre things to be done.
