Rantoul and Die

Just got finished reading the vitriol posted about "Rantoul and Die" at the 
following web 
blog:

Pretty brutal stuff. I must say, if this is the sort of treatment a man who's 
brought nothing 
but  positive light and revenue to the Station Theatre gets from a company 
member, I can't 
imagine why anyone else would come to our city to produce original work.

As my mother used to say, "there's no accounting for taste," and I certainly 
agree. If 
Springer doesn't care for the play, fine. Write about the play, not about the 
hype 
surrounding its author. What I don't get is why Springer's devoted so much time 
to 
vilifying Mark Roberts personally. 

Maybe I'll start my own web blog and start attacking Springer personally. Too 
cruel. Plus I 
don't know anything about him, bad or good. Think I'll just start my own group 
-- one for 
theatre members who, while they might not like everything that's produced, and 
don't 
hesitate to say so, at least have the decency to keep to themselves their 
opinions about 
people personally, insofar as it relates to the work they so successfully 
produce.

Take a read.
