Broadwayworld, What Happened To The Laughter?

[DAME]

It's boring and uninspired .

[Wilmingtom]

What I remember about namo is that he was forever highjacking threads by instigating petty, personal, lengthy arguments.  And if he disagreed with your opinion, you were an idiot or worse.  I never found his "I don't play nice with others" shtick especially funny, just tiresome.

Two of our best posters, this is crap.

Then you must love harassment, threats, verbal abuse, horrible language, accusations and stalking.   I was delighted when Patti Murin chased the worst people on this site away.  Well, not all of them.  A few awful ones are left but they know how to actually behave now, or they will get suspended.  This is a wonderful site now.

 

That's not fair Margo.  I stated they had their faults.  When I first joined Broadwayworld I had a minor disagreement with both of them.  We settled our differences and moved on.  I personally was never on the receiving end of harassment and verbal threats.  I know both had their issues with some.  But to say that EVERY post was a threat, stalk, abuse or harassment is just not true.  And other posters, who I found funny, are not posting for their individual reasons.  I stand by my original statement.  It's just not as fun as it used to be.  It's almost as "uninspiring" as Playbill.com.

"Then you must love harassment, threats, verbal abuse, horrible language, accusations and stalking."

Writing as one of their primary targets, I never felt harassed, threatened, stalked, etc...  If some lame Broadway star has the capability to do this to our posters then that makes BWW lame.

What "Broadway star"? Patti Murin certainly isn't one.

I still maintain that Patti Murin owes the board an apology.

Don't forget Patti Murin did contribute that awe inspiring thread on our reality watching habits and what shows we should see because of it.  It was one of the most thought provoking threads to ever grace the pages of BW.

Do you ever contribute anything other than scolding people or letting it known you disliked certain people?  

[Jordan Catalano]

Nope, she never does and never has. No matter what screen name she's used.

Exactly, my friend. If it wasn't already obvious who "Margo" actually is, it should be now based on that posting reminiscent of a certain poster who rhymes with Mutton Foss. 

[CarlosAlberto]

People got all up "in their feelings" and now don't want to come back. Some didn't want to come back because they expected others to kiss their @ss...and when that didn't happen they took their jacks and left the playground. 

It's really all about ego.

WHATEVER.

I rarely post anymore.  I used to be on daily. It was so fun. The people on here were so clever and funny I would literally LOL. I miss a lot of the threads that were just plain silly. They would just spin out of control! And I miss our Girl thread with Stockard and Danmag and the rest .

Yeah..BWW is just not even close to the fun it used to be. I don't have any theory why, though. It just isn't.

"My thoughts exactly.  The funny lines weren't always just the digs.  There were stupid funny threads started and commented on by people who should be stand up comedians in the real world.

Thank you!

And haterobics, I too miss that you're not around as much.

Agree with all - fewer posts that make me laugh.

[Liza's Headband]

It may not be as "funny" on here anymore but it sure is a lot nicer and cordial with PRS and Namo departing, even though I genuinely miss PRS (but not Namo).  xo

[DAME]

Inspired me to finally get on Twitter .

[mar6411]

It would be a better place without you Liza's Headband, but I know that's not going to happen.  I am unaware of your fan base but I know you like throwing darts at everyone else.  Have fun.

Dame - you can still read without joining if you just want to see the posts.  I've already had laughs just by going through the first couple.

"Inspired me to finally get on Twitter ."

OMG...do people still tweet

^^ HAHA

HELL YES!  SO glad they are gone.  

Patti will not apologize PJ, I'm thinking you should let that one go.

And let's be clear - it would be a better place without you too Margo319.

ZZZZzzzzzzz...

[sabrelady]

"you're not good, You're not bad,

You're just "nice"."

Blah.

 

and cordial is for drinking.

I started posting here back in... 2006... 10 years ago now *sigh*... I was 14. How I long for the days where Patti Murin still outbursts were dime a dozen. I also think kind of think it's hilarious how people talk about how bad BWW has become when we dragggggggggggeeedd this 13 year old through the mud.

When I see drama popping up around here its like amateur hour.
