If I've missed or misread something important in a performance, I want to hear about it.<br /><br />Grudges, sock-puppeting, and angry missives based on the "how dare you criticize ____!" template are, on the other hand, utterly worthless and unwelcome. I've seen many times how quickly opera discussion can be sent to the sewer by one determined asshole given permission to shit in the commons.<br /><br />This isn't going to happen here. You don't have permission to hold a grudge, and you don't have permission to stay anonymous.

That's why it's understandable that you would not post something "poisonous" on your blog directed at you. But just try to think what these cruel things you say feel like to the person (or singer in this case) that you're talking about. It's about having a little humanity. There are kinder ways to critique and say what you think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9458752.post-78996472054991710642009-06-20T11:39:24.525-04:002009-06-20T11:39:24.525-04:00I'm done with you, Cabell troll.

Your critical analysis/persausive abilities leave a lot to be desired, sweetheart. "I loved it. Therefore it was good." On the amazon.com rating scale, I'd say this review was "unhelpful." I love Wonder Bread, Cheez Wiz, and butter fried in bacon, but that doesn't make them the epitome of gormet cooking.<br /><br />Many people love a certain singer's bel-canto abilities. Ohters think that they're non-existant. I guess "objective" is now a synonym for self-validating, but that's the way things are these days. Fortunately many people grow out of the urge to whine and squeal like a 12-year old girl.<br /><br />What would we do without Cabell fan and other postmodernists to tell us how to search for "objective" advice on the internet.Charles R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9458752.post-59126267005474011332009-06-12T02:07:43.386-04:002009-06-12T02:07:43.386-04:00You are "Anonymous", dear.

What of the people who loved Cabell's performance? There were many! I was there. She was very charming and had a beautiful voice. But, bloggers are entitled to their own opinion, which is the reason blogs were invented, weren't they? It's disappointing if they're taken seriously, and I encourage anyone who reads these reviews to research the artists and find the real reviews, which are often much more objective and professional. I doubt Miss Cabell's career is hurting from your review.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
