Most people are a little different professionally than they are personally. I doubt most people would talk the same way to their boss as they would their best friend( unless of course their boss is their best friend LOL)
My statement about her being the life of a party was from PERSONAL EXPERIENCE( which I even stated) so for you to say I am wrong is pretty presumptious and well, rude. Sure state your opinions but please, don't make it seem like my comments are false or not valid.

Calm down. I didn't say you were wrong, I said I disagreed with you. If you can't stand someone disagreeing with you, you need to stop posting your opinion. I also said we are obvioulsy working with different definitions of the term "Life of the Party".

jenny - this was an awsome piece, thank you so much for posting it. Bernadette has grown so much since then and its a unique position to be reading it now knowing what happened to her now. in this article, she's not very much older than i am and i find myself relating to it...i even dream of a mercedes while driving a toyota! also, i was wondering, jenny, how that "jerk book" thing turned out...

I would love to read a follow-up article consisting of Bernadette's reponses/reactions to interviews she did back in the 70's and early 80's.
I still wish that she will one day write an autobiography. Perhaps it can be a project for her after Gypsy

BWAYBAY,
I have noticed lately that you are a little uptight. You write as if you and Bernadette were best friends. Although it may be possible that you know her, I find your indignant arrogance about being a Bernadette Peters "know it all" very annoying. People come to this site to share their thoughts and appreciation of Bernadette Peters, not be to told.
I know this is strong sorry to everyone else.

Let me start by saying...."Anonymous" I know who you are and you need to GET A LIFE....that said....
I'm actually very calm and I think I have posted in a calm manner throughout this thread.Why does it always have to be about who is right and who is wrong? I clearly stated in my previous posts that my comments and observations were from my own PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. Your first post said nothing of "I see it this way" it was more like you were telling me I was wrong.
Yes, in your second post you did say we have different views but I still found your first post very offensive.
I have no problem if someone does not share the same opinions as I do....infact life would be pretty boring if we all thought the same way. I do however, have a problem with people who tell me I am wrong when infact, I am not or someone telling me I shouldn't be posting here. I just don't get why you keep attacking me and posting that what I say is not correct. I know I don't come here to argue with someone I don't even know or have my opinions/facts/comments attacked. And I bet the rest of the people on this board probably don't want to read it so can't we just let it rest?? Believe it or not, Moljul. I do value your opinions and look forward to seeing what you've posted as well as readign what all the other posters have said....

Those are some pretty strong accusations for someone who doesn't even have the guts to post under a name.
I'm sorry, but I have never read any of BwayBaby's posts as being arrogant or her trying to seem like a "know it all." She has never made it seem like she and Bernadette are best friends (or even close friend); she posts as someone who knows Bernadette a little better than most fans because she does know her on a different level than most of the people on this board.

as an arrogant know it all myself, i have come to be able to recognize that personality type pretty well, and i'm going to have to agree that her posts come off that way even if she didn't intend it.
and look, i posted under a name so my opinion matters more

Umm. And excuse me BwayBaby but you are making extremely false accusations that I am the person who is also Anonymous. So don't claim that you know who is posting when you clearly do not. "Anonymous" has posted just once and after I posted several times. And your last post refers to my comments as well as naming me so you clearly decided on your own that I was Anonymous. If you take the time to read my post carefully (instead of getting so tense about someone disagreeing with you) you would see that I never said you were wrong but I felt differently. And don't be so sure that others on this board do not know who YOU ARE and understand your true relationship with Bernadette.
I post under my user name and have no problem giving my opinion.
So maybe you do need to calm down a bit and stop accusing people of things that are clearly incorrect.

Enough, already.
It wasn't moljul who posted the message. It came from an entirely different computer network.
Please take the personal stuff off-board. I really don't want to read it.
Thanks.

I guess to owe an apology to both BwayBaby and Mogul. I should not have gotten involved and my opinion was rash and uncalled for. I broke the rules of posting to this site as well as an ethical rule of hurting other feelings. I guess we all take our feelings of Bernadette very personal for obvious reason's.
BwayBaby,
I did not intend to hurt your feelings. Although as i step back and look at what i said it was very mean. I am very sorry. I just wanted to point out that even if you know more then others you should respect the fact that sometimes people life to think they way they do. It helps them to better relate on a more personal level.
Mogul,
I apologize for making it seem like you were the voice. that was never intended.
Finally everyone has the right to post anonymously and that is not a cowardly act. I enjoy this site and did not want to make enemy's because of my opinion.
Apologies.

I don't know if BwayBaby would want me saying this, but I am friends with her, and as far as her being "Uptight", that is not the case. She has actually been very, very sick lately and somewhat stressed.
Having people attack her integrity does not help.
I know she enjoys coming to this board and reading everyone's posts, but why should she continue to come here when she is constantly attacked?
I'm sorry, and I am not saying that she is the sole contributor of information being posted on this board, but lets face it...if she didn't post here, you guys would not know much of what you do about Bernadette or other Theater related topics. I have been to quite a few of the events that BwayBaby mentions in reguards to Bernadette, and I can confirm that what she says is in no way intended to be arrogant or seem like she knows everything. In fact, she has much respect for other people's privacy and doesn't even feel right when she posts some of the things she does...and God knows she leaves a lot of information out so as not to seem like a show off; however she posts information (which clearly nobody appreciates) I guess because most of the people here seem to enjoy reading it.
Moljul, she was not accusing you of being the anonymous poster, so perhaps YOU should calm down. Whether or not that anonymous person was who she thought it was has nothing to do with you. You (and I'm sorry but this has to be said) have a tendancy to constantly correct people, even if it's an opinion they stated! You start arguments (perhaps not intentionally) and then try to seem like the bigger person saying let's end this.
Kevin, I'm sorry, I know you don't want personal matters to continue on this board (and I agree that they shouldn't), but perhaps you could have said something yesterday when this all started. Now BwayBaby (and I am merely posting my own thoughts because she is my friend...I am not speaking for her) probably regrets posting much of what she has, seeing as people think she is arrogant!

Christine, I applaud your defense of your friend but if you look at her post, you will see she clearly felt I was Anonymous and I think that was apparent to Kevin as well which is why, I assume, he posted that it was not me.
I think what a couple of us were trying to do was point out that there are many opinions of Bernadette and all are valid and that there is not only one person here who has access to her under various circumstances.
Anonymous, no apology to me is necessary. You have every right to post with or without your user name. And you clearly were not attempting to make it seem like I was posting.

thank god the heat has died down! I don't want my ONE USEFUL THREAD to be taken off the board (please don't kevin!). Anyhoo, Cindy - responding to something you wrote ages ago in this thread...perhaps I misphrased this, i just mean its kind of sad that she wanted to have children and never did. i always find that sad but I'm sure SHE is perfectly happy with her choice!
Lisa, I never got the jerk book and the auction closed without anyone bidding. I hope they put it up again!
Now, I DON'T want to make this threada ll angry again, but I was just wondering Cindy, how you are connected to Bernadette. You don't have to tell us and please don't think I'm out of line asking, I'm just curious (and I'm sure I'm not the only one!)because it all seems so mysterious......
they say bernadette's wonderful..........and she is

I'm sorry Jenny  It is a very good thread, and thank you for posting the article (I never did thank you for that). I'm sure none of us meant for an argument to start.
Moljul, I do see that it may have seemed like she was accusing you, and I apologize for making it seem like you should have known she wasn't, but I would just like to clarify that it really wasn't you she was accusing. Honestly, I know who she thought it was; because I thought it was the same person.
