A few months ago, I posted an article responding to Don D'Haene, which in retrospect was over the top and overly nasty.
I
wrote that rant seething with anger, feeling personally insulted in my
perception at Don singling me out and belittling my concerns in my
review of his performance. I tried to give my response articulately and with evidence to support my arguments in an intelligent and
nuanced manner after a few days of cooling off as opposed to quickly posting a hasty flame email.
With
a cooler head with a few month's distance, I realize that I still got
excessive in my writing and I regret the vitriolic tone and the ad
hominem nature of the piece, such as the Lincoln Perry reference. I realize that I messed up both as a commissioned
writer of theatrical review for The Beat with my earlier mistakes, and
as a person with my emotions getting the better of me.
In other words: Don D'Haene, I am sorry I lost my temper in writing and attacked you.
Regardless, to both you and Mr. Richard Young, thank you for your time in what had been a very rewarding experience writing for your magazine and website. I just wish I could make amends to undo the hurt feelings on both sides.
