Contributed by Eric D. Snider

(From the contributor, the founder of this site: “These are theories that people have put forth, in angry responses to my theater reviews, as to why I gave the show a negative review, the idea of the play just being bad, like I said, apparently not being a possibility.”)

“…lack of ability as a theater critic…”

“It makes me wonder if Mr. Snider even stayed to see the entire performance.”

“‘Carousel’ was reviewed by professionals before Eric was born. They must have seen something in it that he missed, as it has been successfully performed thousands of times.”

“…obviously unfamiliar with Shakespeare…”

“Perhaps Eric Snider is better suited to review events such as rock concerts, sporting events, or something involving young girls.”

“It sounds like you don’t like to sit through plays.”

“He … lacks understanding of the basic elements of theater.”

“I don’t know if you have prejudgements or what…”

“Those ‘of the world’ won’t appreciate this play.”

“Those who are not ‘past feeling’ will find this play will remind of what’s really important in life.”

“Mr. Snider went with a negative attitude and therefore was blinded by a hard heart.”

“Eric Snider obviously does not like happy shows where boy finds girl, falls in love, and gets married.”

“Maybe he fell asleep and dreamed his review.”

“Maybe he just had a bad day.”

“Mr. Snider must have come on a particularly bad night, or he was suffering from indigestion.”
