Lesson learned
So, I'm learning a lot in the past few days. I'm told that if I think there's a fire in a theater, and yell fire, I'm at risk of upsetting the audience. And by "I think there's a fire", I mean that I've seen smoke, felt heat and saw the flames. Now, in order to go about it in the proper way, instead of alerting those in risk of harm, I should go and whisper to the person that set the fire "Hey, did you set a fire?". Seems dumb to me, but as I say, I'm just now learning this lesson.
I'm also learning that The hypothetical audience members seem to have been happier before knowing about the fire, and are very quick to listen to the fire starter's reassurances that "There is no fire, but I'll look into getting some smoke alarms for the next show.". Sorry to stretch a metaphor. It's not mine, but I work with what I'm handed.
I'm afraid that the above metaphor implies that I suspect arson. Not true. Lot's of fires are started unintentionally, but they burn the same as an intentional one.
I don't think any of the people involved are stupid. I think they are showing positive traits that are having negative effects. People want to be happy. People want to believe the best in their friends. People want to defend their friends, even when evidence points to the conclusion that their friends may be in the wrong. People want to get back to being happy, even if matters aren't resolved.
I am sorry to be seen as someone who is Mind Fucking the cast. I want what is best for the group, and it usually ends up backfiring on me and losing me friends. I think I should avoid the hypothetical theater and rent a movie.
