I find it shocking and reprehensible....

...that someone would use this thread as an excuse to ANONYMOUSLY attack the work ethic of a particular actor.

TheHarveyBoy, why don't you tell us who you are? Only then, in my opinion, should you have the right to post such a statement -- but, of course, you never would.

TBAdmin, I think this part of the thread should be removed.

Oh come now... criticizing an actor's performance is hardly slander... especially on this site.

It's clear the poster isn't revealing any kind of inside information. If he revealed something that was going on during rehearsals, then you may have a case, but it's clear he is commenting on what he has seen onstage.

"It's clear he is commenting on what he has seen onstage."

That may be clear to you, but not to me. I've never heard someone criticize an actor's performance by saying "he gets bored in the middle of the first act," which is obviously not something that anyone in the audience would know.

you do realize the mods read the posts, right? without prompting?

Yes, I realize they read the posts, but I wanted to express my opinion that this particular one should be deleted.

Also, I think it's possible that the moderators may not read EVERY post, or at least not right away, so I wanted to call attention to this one.
