First of all, thanks to Fletch for this forum and the connections he provides every day for the Theatre community.
MY reaction to the hub bub.....I see no good reason for a competition. My reaction to the bigger issue, and this is me speaking in that way that sometimes gets me in trouble, but here goes. Like it or not there are already cliques and factions, isolation and popularity contests the "Ins" and the "Outs", maybe all of this talk will help us all to be more sensitive to that which already exists.
