Hi Elise.
The immense number of posts on this topic do make it difficult to follow the salient points. It's easy to pick up the tail end of a slanging match and assume that is what the argument has been about. The many tangents that have spun off into other arguments certainly don't help either (and I'm guilty of prolonging several of those).

I have read and often re-read ALL of these posts in the process of constructing my arguments. And I don't believe I've seen anyone who HAS "bitched about the show", apart from people who were actually IN the cast..!


Grant started this whole counteragument, and I supported him, by explaining why he would NOT be going to the show. Nothing to do with the quality of cast, crew, or performance (and so we have been very careful NOT to comment on such elements) - but a matter of principle.

I'm glad you enjoyed the show. By all means tell everyone what you think. But please don't jump to what is "obvious" when your statement plainly shows that it is not.


Have another read of what has been said. You don't have to AGREE with anyone, but I would hope you would try to UNDERSTAND them before interpreting what they are "insane" about.

Cheers,
Craig
