The bitter juvenile rantings between the Hilleryites and the Obamaites was shocking. I always looked up to professional theater people - thinking they have made it. Now I see them as having the temper and vocabulary (not to mention political sophistication) of 13 year-old street kids. There are quite a few theaters and a couple businesses I can never respect again - including a well-known Old City photographer. One of the topics "discussed" (with a tittering enjoyment) was how much they loved Karen Finley and Robert Mapplethorpe - especially because they were shocking and offensive. Funny how the people of the Philadelphia Theater Alliance mailing list give offense so much better than they take it. </p> http://phillyist.com/2008/04/08/monday_manners_92.php#comment-1332943 http://phillyist.com/2008/04/08/monday_manners_92.php#comment-1332943 Comments Tue, 08 Apr 2008 16:37:59 -0500 <p>Thank you for bringing a touch of wisdom and maturity to what has, at times, been an insane (if sometimes amusing) conversation.</p>
