By the way, there is a section in Winnie the Pooh that I would have enjoyed a lot more when I was around twenty.

Originally Posted By ShivaThDestroyer >>not to argue but I had an instance where I called cast member costumes...uniforms and the world unleashed on me.<< Jmacmouse, I seem to remember it a little differently that that and there were other issues involved. You were also new to the boards and lets just say that you didn't get off to the best of starts. I also remember advising you to take a little time and get to know us. It seems you've done just that and earned a little respect in the process. I don't think you will have that problem again, you're no longer an outsider, you've become part of the family and I'm very please to have you with us.

Originally Posted By dresswhites i like laughingplace discussion boards. we all have our opinions but for the most part we are respectful of each others opinions. over at miceage, it is so negative.
Originally Posted By dresswhites also there are several people on this board that don't like things disney has done, particularly in the last few years. there are some that do and there are several like myself who like some of the things disneyland has done and not other things. it is very civil though. we are all passionate about our beliefs, but i don't see anyone outcasting or putting down those who don't share a particular belief.
Originally Posted By mousermerf Silly question - why would you want to talk about such things here? The tone and phrasing of the first post implies some taboo activity involving Disneyland like sex or drugs in attractions. Why post that here? You can create a blog in about 3 seconds. What benefit to yourself can you garner from having people here read such stories? You should be able to infer from my post exactly what benefit I think you actually wish to gain from such posts. I do not approve.

Originally Posted By danyoung I just really love the fact that a question about how sensitive this board is turns into a debate over whether we're sensitive or not. Talk about yer sensitive! And to the original poster, I say go ahead and post what you want to post about. If there's a problem with it, the moderators will step in. I for one would love to hear what you have to say. And if mousemerf doesn't, he/she doesn't have to participate in that thread.

Originally Posted By SpokkerJones "people said things like "I was going to quit this message board" "I cryed my eyes out" And stuff like that." You have to wonder about these people's mental state sometimes. I wonder how so many people grew up with the Internet and weren't taught to not take it so seriously.

I am guessing that you are not as old as a lot of us here! Not that I was offending, but your commen about "wondering about people's mental states" is insensitive and I am not sure that it helps with the point you are trying to make!
