Well, as it is one of the most popular versions used in college productions, there seems to be many who are in disagreement with your ever-so-creative self!

Perhaps it's just your writing style that makes you appear to be one of the most arrogant and self-important people to post on this forum ever?

"as it is one of the most popular versions"
"Most popular" doesn't necessarily mean "Good", does it... anybody with half an artistic bone in their body knows that... If it was the case, the best art would come from The Fox Network.

"there seems to be many who are in disagreement"
And that's fair enough... People are welcome to disagree with me. It would be a boring old world if we were all the same. The discussion and the sharing of differences is one of the whole points of discourse.

You seem to expect that everyone has to agree with you, but I'm the one who's 'arrogant' and 'self-important'?? That's pretty damn funny.

But if you'd rather just attack me personally instead of taking part in the discussion at hand, you're welcome to... I'm more than big enough to suffer your little slings and arrows. Leaves me to wonder why on earth you seem to feel so threatened by me though...

*shrug* This is a picture of me, not losing any sleep over it.

As Robert Frost said... "Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence."

Can those of us who wish to continue the discussion get back to the topic at hand now?

Without actors, a techie is a person with a list of marketable skills.

"... anybody with half an artistic bone in their body knows that.."
"...creative director..."

I, for one, seem to be a tad sick of your condescension and know-it-all approach

are you this unpleasant in real life?

by the way - I've been a participating member of this forum for years - it's been quite some time since anybody with such a self-important attitude has come through

did you come just to let us all us non-creative and half-creative-boned people the wisdom and depth of your creative talent and knowledge and experience?

Tristanrobin.

Now go back and try reading my posts without your personal agenda attached to them... You're reading tone INTO my posts that is not there in the least.

I fail to see why you're taking my criticism of a play, personally as if I have somehow slighted you, by disagreeing with you. I also fail to see why I should have to endure being called 'arrogant' and 'self-important' for having an opinion that differs from yours.

You said you like the play and left it at that. I said I didn't and listed some reasons for it. You reacted as if I'd kicked sand in your ice-cream.

I'm at a loss to understand why.

I am closing this thread due to personal attacks (in both directions) and undue arrogance. Please learn to have differing opinions while being civil to each other.
