We have no issues with anyone discussing Jeff Loeffelholz or his tragic passing, however, it is 1:30am ET, and there are posters essentially accusing people of directly and maliciously causing his death. There has been no official reporting on this topic yet, and everything that is public is from one perspective and side.
We invite you to use the boards to mourn his loss, and even to discuss the cruelties of the business, mental health in the theatre community, etc. However, at this point, without further details being reported and corroborated, pointing the finger at someone as the cause of his death is inappropriate for this forum.
I am confident that there will be more officially released and reported on this topic in the near future, and at that point, when more details are made clear, you can have that discussion. But until then, accusing someone of being the reason that Mr. Loeffelholz took his own life is considered an unfounded personal attack, and will be removed, and other repercussions will follow if need be.
This is a particularly painful time and topic for many people in our community, and our hearts genuinely go out to them, and we hope that all of the details come out as soon as possible. However, with a situation this fraught and serious, until more facts are known, we cannot allow accusations like those from earlier tonight to continue.
