I've seen this blog (thanks to Cameron's article), but regularly read Alison's, and I'm also certain that Alison has and would never shut down or block any voice in her comments. (I don't allow anonymous comments on mine and get very few comments as a result.) <br /><br />As for the "cronies", thank you for the biggest LOL of the day. <br /><br />Maybe it comes from seeing that we read and support each other's writing and opinions, regardless of if we agree with each other, or even know each other for that matter.<br /><br />Writers (like Alison and Cameron) love theatre with a passion that sees them in over 100 foyers a year. And they write with the same level of passion. This leaves little time for conspiratorial crony meetings.Anne-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08072294851883222846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124858870558544212.post-61024659869706029562012-06-23T16:16:54.439+10:002012-06-23T16:16:54.439+10:00Seconded.

As a voice of vehement opposition on Alison's blog. <br /><br />Further, as author of the newspaper article that attacked you in the wake of the Crittenden article, I resent your imputation that I'm one of Croggon's "cronies". That's an insulting lie, Jane, and I'd like you to remove it. <br /><br />As you'd know if you read my reviews, I'm a fiercely independent mainstream theatre critic (and blogger) who regularly praises virtues and lambasts theatrical shortcomings without fear or favour. <br /><br />Painting the critical response to your blog's emergence as some sort of conspiracy theory might salve your own ego, but it simply isn't true, and therefore defamatory. Also, your "scare quotations" are incorrect. Please make some sort of effort to get your facts straight.Cameron Woodheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09066457450822137744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124858870558544212.post-71550521000655650222012-06-23T14:23:57.877+10:002012-06-23T14:23:57.877+10:00For the record, I've never seen any discussion...For the record, I've never seen any discussion "shut down" on Alison's site - and that includes voices of vehement opposition.Casey Bennettohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00069992763893159912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124858870558544212.post-87724772646510896182012-06-12T21:23:13.933+10:002012-06-12T21:23:13.933+10:00Love your work, Darl!
