See, the thing is . . .

. . . that some theatre bloggers long ago lost their crediblity with me, and with, I think, many other serious theatre people, too. They've already attacked too many people operating in good faith, pushed too many weak authors too hard, tried to fudge too many conflicts of interest, ridden too many connections with family and friends, etc., etc., to be taken seriously when they get on their soapboxes and play professor (do they ever get off their soapboxes, btw?). Thus the "backlash" against them and their latest pet project . . .
