Royal Opera House bans for life heckler who booed child star on his debut (telegraph.co.uk) I think some people just need to be noticed! Perhaps in this case the perpetrator was noticed in a different way from his expectations. What a shame for the young singer, though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizbie1 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Having read an account from a very close eye witness, from which it's clear the person's complaints weren't confined to this particular singer, it sounds like there's some kind of mental health issue involved (though I really don't want to excuse what happened, which was clearly appalling). This is obviously leaning towards speculation but certain age-related conditions can lead to this kind of behaviour. Best to move on from this unpleasant episode, I think.

postie Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Given his age (mid-late 70s?), I tend to think it could be almost anything. Perhaps brain degeneration, a reaction to medication, an episodic thing, who knows. I did wonder how he was out alone but, of course, plenty of people his age are. Hope he got home okay because he sounds pretty confused. Edited November 10, 2022 by postie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he got home okay because he sounds pretty confused. Everyone in their mid-70s has a mental problem and/or shouldn't be out on their own? Maybe he was in perfect control of his faculties and was just rude. Edited November 10, 2022 by oncnp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postie Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) There are various ways to interact on the Internet. One way of behaving is to imagine - before you respond - you are talking to the person face-to-face in a group. Edit: The post above was altered after I replied.
