In my opinion, allforlove was not asking you to silence your disagreement. He/she was simply pointing out that you had not been responsible in stating your disagreement. You clearly did not see the play and it is doubtful that you read the play. This particular website was clearly reinforcing an agenda by printing only some parts of the play that would further an agenda of FEAR! Thus, this website has misrepresented the play completely. So, you absolutely have a right to your opinion, all be it an uneducated one. Theatre is not merely a written form. Plays are meant to be performed. Since you did not bother to see the play, you have NOT seen the art. Therefore, even though you are totally free to comment, I for one, could not possibly take your comments seriously because you have not done your homework. So, allforlove has every right to say that you are misinformed. Perhaps next time you will put away your fear and your own bigotry and come and see a work of art before you seek to destroy it.
In addition, so many other comments here are inaccurate that it is clear that many who wrote in also did not bother to do their homework. This entire posting makes me incredibly sad to be an American. "Tar and feathering," "theatre losers," "homos,"Hitler and Stalin," and my personal favorite from Billthedrill, "I think the guy's just got a thing for schoolgirls in uniform. Pervert. (Not that that's a bad thing...)" Clearly, he is misinformed as the play was originally written for FOUR MEN, not four women, and the director is a woman - ME!

Now, if any of you would like to discuss this play (which you clearly have not read or seen) read it, see it and then you can e-mail me at this address stacy_donovanrnj@yahoo.com
but don't bother unless you have something intelligent to say and you won't have anything intelligent to say unless you know about what you are talking and you cannot know anything about a play until you see it. What are you afraid of? Won't your God protect you from one little play?

I will post the same to you that I posted to allforlove. You have no knowledge of my background or who I am so how can you judge whether I am mis informed or not? It arrogant of you without knowledge of my background to say that I have an uneducated opinion. As far as I know in any of my post (which maybe you should go back and reread.) I did not attack the play directly. I pointed out areas that might be considered possible as offensive, but more to the point.(Which I think if you read my post clearly, would have been obvious.) I was defending the right of this group to protest the displeasure or what they felt was wrong with the play.

I really could care less about the play, but I was mearly trying to state that as passionate as you can be about the play, others can be just as passionate in defending their views and exercising their first amendment rights while doing it.

So why don't you take a second step off your soapbox and reread what I had written. And try not to make to much of an A** of yourself by making comments and judgments about people that you don't know.

Ignorance is a form of Bigotry.

You are ignorant in you knowledge of my background.

You comment on me having an uneducated opinion.

You have no knowledge of my Educational background, hence can not logically decide whether or not my opinion is educated or not.

Comment on uneducated opinion found to false, due to ignorant opinion on my education status.

Ignorance=Bigotry

Welcome you are a bigot now!

Care to take the debate further?

nutmeg - can you PING your CT list please? FREEP AWAY!

- Homosexual Agenda PING -

While Godless people are free to put on whatever play they choose, people in opposition have an obligation to speak their minds and voice their objections. Especially since the town of Cheshire appears to be sponsoring such nonsensical blashphemy.

Didn't you get the memo? It's perfectly ok to make fun of Christians and white folks. Everyone else is OFF LIMITS!

(If you want on or off this ping list, please FReepmail me.)

Now I have been waiting patiently to further engage you in regards to the topic of debate. You have yet to respond.
Here a few helpful suggestions:

1.) Admit you made the mistake in reading my posts and we can be happy. (I admit I have done it before.)
2.) Next time you post, I suggest that you throughly read what you are responding, and then post a comprehensive response that is fact based and logical.
3.) Understand that what you may be defending is your idea of what is right and wrong, and cannot and should not be applied to other people, that being said, others have the right to protest it as well as your right to defend it.
4.) Remember that free speech is not free. The price of free speech is that fact that someone may disagree with you and oppose that idea, and As long as the follow the legal means they have every right to protest it as well as you have to defend it by legal means.
5.) There is a difference between protesting and personal attacks. Both of you have post comments to this site that can be construed as personal attacks on posters on this site and commentary about right wing conservatives in general. I go back to my previous post. Unless you know these people personally, to call them a bigot or someone filled with hate, I would consider that to be pretty arrogant. If you can determine someones mindset just by reading a couple of posts on a web page, you must have some super ESP power. No since I know from studying science that there is no conclusive proof of ESP actually working or being an ability that humans have, I doubt this is the case.
6.) Calm down put down the kool-aid sippy cups, if you want people that are going to agree with you go to the Democratic Underground. If not expect vigorous debate, expect people to defend their opinions, and defend yours, just realize the cost of it.

Thanks have a nice day respond if you want, but I kinda doubt you will now.
