Wow, that was incredibly disrespectful!! I'm assuming these comments were meant for me, cuz I think I'm the only one who has made a comment relating to this topic. I just found this now and instead of making backhanded comments about me like a coward in a completely unrelated thread, why don't you direct your snide comments towards me in the approppriate thread? Wow, what a lack of class...
I never said all Americans are dressed better than Torontonians did I? I said New Yorkers overall, but thanks for your obvious strawman.
If you guys want the forum filled with strictly Toronto yes-men, and not a balanced one with some criticism, then I feel sorry for you.
There was no insult directed at you in my post. Just wait a second and calm down, poppajojo. Breathe... breathe...
The comment was directed at the post directly above mine (as should have been implied by the lack of quoting any other posts), by one "MajorComplainer". He made a wholly positive comment about the show, hence a joke about him not being allowed to make a comment that isn't a complaint. After all, he is MajorComplainer.
I used an example of Torontonians dressing at the theatre because it was the first thing that popped into my head and seemed like something that I could see MajorComplainer complaining about (not a complaint about the performance, but a general "what's wrong with this city?!?" complaint). I can see from your profile that you joined the forum in June. I don't know if you were around before that, but Urban Toronto has been around for over 5 years and I can assure you that there have been several discussions in the past about the dressing habits of Torontonians. Heck, I even recall a comment from back when specifically stating that Torontonians don't dress well enough at the theatre (it might have even been by miketoronto). I wouldn't be surprised if there's even been articles about this topic in our self-loathing local newspapers.
Although I was aware about the recent discussion about dressing habits that you took part in, I really didn't care and didn't even read that discussion.
So, I hope I have convinced you that not only was it not an insult directed at you, but that I wasn't even thinking about you or your discussion when I made it. As for Darkstar, he seems to be joking in his post here that Americans would have been the poor dressers, the exact opposite of what you are saying your argument was.
That said, I really think it would be wise to try and remain calm and not assume that another forum member is insulting you. Especially when it's a post from someone who didn't even take part in the original discussion, doesn't make reference to the original discussion, and does so in an entirely different thread.
