Well said, Noah Budin! I don't know who you are but your response was 
right on the money. I, like many other actors, have been stung by the 
critic's barb - and it hurts. However, what you say makes perfect 
sense. The best part is the part where you said we all have the 
choice available to us not to read a critique. That's what I've been 
doing in recent years. Having read the critiques of various critics 
in the area and having seen the production they are critiquing, I've 
decided whether or not that person's judgment has, IMHO, any 
validity. The one I feel do a decent and honest job, I continue to 
read, whether I agree with them or not. The ones who are obviously 
playing favorites because of some personal agenda, or simply do not 
have a clue, I don't. It works for me.
