Nobody else's and nobody needs to feel bad that I may not like their posting style. I'm sure some people may skip over a post when they see it was made by Labuda, and that doesn't bother me at all. I will echo the sentiments of others here, though: it's nice to see some old timers return. Oh, and if anyone has an email address for TDG, PLEASE let me know. I need to find out his snail mail so I can send him a book that I got autographed for him shortly after he left LP. It's Rue McLanahan's biography - I handed her a letter he'd written her, but lost his address and so wasn't able to send him the book I was going to surprise him with.

Intervention scheduled for next month. So sad.

I kept starting up controversial topic threads in Community until Doobie finally got sick of dealing with them there.
Originally Posted By Mr X ***I used to loathe Mr. X, but now he just puts me in a state of mild but persistent annoyance*** Give it time. Genuine fondness for me tends to measure in decades (which is why all my ex-girlfriends keep contacting me and trying to get back together...too late, sisters!).
Originally Posted By Mr X And now for my sage words of wisdom regarding this thread... If LaughingPlace.com is causing you angst, you need to seriously re-think your priorities. Life is too short.

Life's too short for needless angst, and ESPECIALLY about something as trivial as a bunch of random semi-strangers having a war of words in a Disney website. X has spoken.

I knew I belonged in the low income hood just needed to make a quik purchase. Warning: Do not sample your friends WOCpopcorn unless you can afford more.

I really am a warm sensitive person and I was being careful not to make it look like I thought people on Facebook were stupid or anything like that. I just do not like what it has done to my family, personally. I delete many things that I type because I look it over and feel someone might take offense. Justified or not. Frankly I had expected this thread to be closed by now. I looked up both trendy and fad in my dictionary and could not see that these are offensive words. (When was the last time somebody posted on myspace? Do you still have a Walkman or an ipod?) And I think that it is obvious that people want to be a part of it. It is very popular. Schmitty, bless his soul, pointed out the age difference and possible communication gap. Yeah, dear, we're old. That said, when I grew up, *calling someone out* meant we were meeting in the park after school for a fight.

Originally Posted By DyGDisney I wasn't going to post here either, boy, that's a common theme on this thread. But I wanted to tell iamsally that I think she's great!

I think he's still going to post, just under a different name. I love Mr. X, even though he's controversial And I, too, miss TallDisneyGuy. I'm so sad he felt the need to leave. I miss all the old conversation on LP too. I do think it's because so much goes on on facebook. I have an account but rarely go on there, and even if I did all the time I don't think I would feeling comfortable linking to the LP page. I don't know anyone on here personally, and I keep my facebook friends list very small, that's just me. I know lots of people who have over 700 or 800 "friends". Oh, and I enjoy WE for what it is. You do have to be up for a battle in there sometimes, but I find that fun......for the most part!
