I have read your post very carefully, and seriously thought about it. Here are a few of my thoughtful thoughts:

1) I am not an asshole. I am a blunt speaker and a barrel of laughs. Deal with it.

2) I agree, it’s not necessary to be an asshole to produce great art– but I don’t think that point needs emphasizing in a community of jellyfish like Toronto.

3) I’ll be happy to read and consider any comment you care to write, but ALL reflexive, conventional defenses of “The Drawer Boy” will be met with 100% pure snark.

4) I DO believe that all opinions deserve to be heard; but NOT ALL opinions are equal. They just aren’t.

5) I have glanced at your little blog, and it is pretty good. Keep typing, and maybe you’ll get a nomination too!

6) Happy Holidays, etc.

I personally believe that the idea that one has to be an asshole to produce great art is complete bullshit. I also believe that one can be in conflict and yet still be respectful of the other’s opinion. I also believe that this world wouldn’t be so fucked up if we actually listened to each other and tried to understand the other viewpoint before shutting them down.

On topic, I too hope we see some theatre blogs make the list next year. This blog, The Next Stage and Nsaa are all fantastic reads.

IF ONLY MORE CANADIAN THEATRE WAS AS DYNAMIC AS THIS BLOG!

PS. I will “listen” to anyone who is interesting.

Although I agree (gasp) with the comment the fake Anon directly above left. We shouldn’t listen to each other just TYPE LOUDER!

“Theatre content” is dead!
Long live THEATRE CONTENT!

Discuss…

How many great “dramas” do YOU know involving people who respectfully listen to one another without judging (uugh!) as has been so horrendously suggested?

Great culture is not possible without great feuds.

Live by this axiom, Praxis, and you will be nominated next year.

We’ll take turns discussing “theatre content,” and the first one to make MKP flip out and scold us is the real anon.

Can we make a play about who is the real anonymous? It will be like Boxhead, I will direct, but I will never know your true identities….

Just as long as you don’t (god forbid!) discuss “theatre content”. Apparently, that’s the new rule.

I’m the REAL Anon and if they don’t stop using my name I’m moving to the U.K.
