I don't blame the poster for not looking his s**t up: I'm guilty of that on this board. But as you say, despite his detractors, Sellars has been a major force in American Theatre (and World Theatre) and McNally does seem to be taking a cheap shot rather than a pointed jab at someone whose work he probably can't fathom and is threatened by. And the whole idea of people calling this kid director "Sir Frank" is pretty ludicrous. The only knight of the realm whom I've heard likes the honorific used is Ben Kingsley, but I'm pretty sure that Olivier was "Larry", Gielgud "Johnny" and Maggie Smith is "Mags".
