Well, there were theatre message boards 15 years ago ;) (and, honestly, we've had a few threads started by people posting similar complaints about stage door behavior, though it's been awhile.)

The rarefied niche of board is not Twitter.

Sorry, I don't think there's any comparison in being able to post negatives in a niche/bubble, and public postings with (quantifiable:) thousands of readers, cross-referencing and even ad hominem communiques. I can attack a star here, and the star and even most of his or her fans may never know. I can attack the same star on Twitter, and it's news in seconds. Witness, this story.

It was different 15 years ago

... or even a little later when we were threatened by a Broadway star with legal action because of something someone posted here.

But, really, I did include a smiley on purpose. It wasn't even close to the magnitude of Twitter.

I forget. My sincere apology.

I was rather humorless in the whole thread, or came off that way, and I apologize. (One of the hardest things to get right: tone.) My attempt to split a hair over the difference between boards/blogs and Twitter -- to you! -- was especially presumptuous and entirely laughable.
