In Reply to: Self-Absorbed Actors and their Worldviews posted by Jim Susky on February 04, 2002 at 22:23:46:
Heston's activity with NRA and the conservative movement is constantly mentioned, and I have no problem with that whatsoever. It completes the actor's personality sketch.So I am still rather annoyed by AuPh's insistance that he has right to mandate what side of actor's personality can or can not be covered here. I think that is simply improper and he should just read or ignore posts or posters he finds annoying to him.
As I said before, anything having to do with movie personalities is fair game for discussion - in my view, which I am not seeking to impose on anyone. If the discussion of Heston's political views took ten pages then I would say - enough already, but to jump like AuPh did at the small mention of Alda's silly statement was completely out of place.
So I don't see your point about Heston changing anything.
Now, this is a privately owned forum, and the owners can certainly step in and enforce the rules any way they see fit, but lacking that step I would say - just keep going: filmographies, divorces, extramarital affairs, education, background, political affiliations, families, commercial activities - all are of interest and can be covered.
Follow Ups:
... of using an actor's support for a cause as a thinly veiled excuse to turn the forum into a political soapbox.What was stated about Alda didn't present his affiliation with certain causes in a fair and impartial manner, but rather condemned him to the point of ridicule for supporting womens' rights (i.e., the Equal Rights Amendment). The fact that Mr. Alda felt that his support of the Amendment had a great deal to do with his popularity during the run of M*A*S*H was simply his belief. Why did Mike choose to make an issue out of it, demeaning the actor for responding honestly to a question asked during an interview? His response had nothing to do with the actor or his talent, but rather Mike's own political perspective. How does that fit in with a discussion of the arts?
Answer that, if you can.

***Answer that, if you can.Did already. Several times. What - are you trying to bore me to death by repeating the same whine again and again and again? I really don't care what you say about other people's posts or mine. But I find your attemps at silencing people arrogant. You are not the boss here, as far as I know.
Boy, I am getting out of this "discussion".
