In looking back over the thread, I think that I did get a bit testy with you because I perceived that you were saying I didn’t have a theater background and didn’t do theater work. To a theater person, this can be a bit akin to saying, “Oh, you only do that work that doesn’t require high levels of acting skills.” That set my teeth on edge, I admit. That’s why I gave a brief background on my theater experience.

I recognize that, to a non-theater person, the names of the LORTs I gave you might not be familiar, nor might the A and B+ designations, but I think Kat can vouch for the fact that working in those theaters, let alone playing significant roles in them, is not the easiest thing in the world to achieve.

So, I inferred from what you were writing that you thought I was just an on-camera actor, which is a bit like telling an opera singer that she’s just a torch song belter. It can be read as an attack.
