Ask Mr. Katz how many of his shows have been produced on or
off-Broadway, and how many recordings there are of his shows. He claims
to be a professional writer but mostly supports himself as a
rehearsal/show pianist and coach. (This is according to his posts. I
have not met or spoken with him.) I have supported myself since 1971 as
an actor and director in (yes) regional theaters (some which Mr. Katz
would love to have do his shows) and tours. Of course, none of this
matters.
***More importantly......***
He wrote two posts on rec.arts.theatre.musicals bragging that he was
performing a song that "would ruffle the feathers of the PETA crowd" in
a one-night celebration of his ouvre attended by family and friends. He
did indeed call me a "pro-pet wacko" when I labelled "offensive" (to me)
some lyrics in a song (from the 60's Broadway musical LET IT RIDE!) A
song, which out of context, was once aimed at children. It details
various images such as "the fluffy little bunny hangs in the Butcher's
Shop." Even after an impassioned post for animal compassion from my wife
which I will be posting here, Mr. Katz went on to post his lyric in an
in-your-face manner on a separate thread. Interestingly, no one
commented on it, probably because it revealed such an astonishing lack
of talent--in addition to its juvenile content.
To add further context, Mr. Katz is a pc policeman on the musicals
newsgroup, counting and posting the number of "vulgarisms" used by each
poster. I merely wanted to point out what many besides myself regard as
a true vulgarism. Of course, his own words have done it better than I
ever could.

I hope the people of this newsgroup understand what's happened here: Mr.
Stephen Ross-Newport, a small-time actor from Florida, has here
reprinted a lyric to a comedy song I wrote. He has done this out of
personal animus towards me. Indeed, I called him a "pro-pet wacko" after
he objected to a song I didn't write.
