That was a rather elitist statement. Facebook being the "latest, trendy fad" has NOTHING to do with my involvement in it. Nor do I believe many of my friends (most of whom are actual friends) had that motive when joining. I think you should maybe have a little more knowledge of a person or thing before you ascribe insulting motives to their actions or the things they like or participate in.

Not only have I received emails warning me to leave a certain poster alone, but I've also received numerous calls to my cellphone from an unlisted number from a woman threatening me to leave that same poster alone "or else". Trust me when I say that the only way they could have gotten my unlisted cellphone number is from another LPer who had it. If that doesn't deter a person from wanting to stay away from meets then I don't know what would. I don't appreciate being threatened, and the amount of calls at all hours was very scary.

Originally Posted By Lady Starlight I like FB and can say whatever I like on there without the risk of offending someone on here when I feel the need to vent. Is it talking behind someones back? Yup, we all do it. We all have a gripe about someone or a peeve we dont like about another. We all vent to others when somthing gets our feathers ruffled. So what. Better to vent on there and get it out rather than get on LP and bash someone publicly at the risk of knowing your going to get backlash from it, even when they should get called out on somthing. FB has nothing to do with LP,really, but it does give people a chance to calm down when we get over heated and about to say somthing ugly. Also, I myself don't want everyone to know my buisness unless I want them to know my buisness. It's pretty simple really.

At least that way it would be a two way conversation that could possibly resolve any issues. Or at least an understanding could have been reached that we just stay out of each other's way.

Originally Posted By Lady Starlight 99 I'm betting that that person isn't sending henchmen. They are doing it to you themselves. I know the person Im getting emails from , warning and bashing me are from the very person they are warning /bashing me over. It's all so rediculous really. Just another pathetic attempt to stir the pot and prevoke.

Originally Posted By Fowley I post less due to the fight trolls, money grubbers and general nastiness of a small group of people on here.

As for the Dec meet, I felt a little on the outer as I hadn't posted on LP in forever, so I was there as "Tandelothien's sister" and it being a new enviroment I felt a little out of my element. When I'm comfotable with people I have been know to get loud and didn't want to be seen as the loud mouth Aussie. There were people I would have loved to have chatted to more but like Tandelothien and Sally didn't want to seem pushy. Tandelothien and I will be back in Disneyland in October and would love to meet anyone who wants to meet up with us (email nutters please do not apply)

I thought it was a great meet because it was free flowing and you could come and go. I don't do facebook. Maybe I will someday but not now. I miss hanging out with the fun LPers who have left and I try really hard to just avoid those who stir the pot. I think it was a well thought out and heartfelt post Schmitty. It was bound to bring up some more "food for thought." I hang out here lately because of the "weight watchers thread." It's a nice group but maybe it's cliquie because not everyone cares whether someone has exercised or drank their water There is not much going on in Trip Planning or DLR anymore. So anyway, I am still around and intend to stay but I do sincerely miss a lot of the fun posters from past years We'll be at Tand and Fowley's October meet Please come up and say hi to me if I don't get to you first Yes, I use A LOT of emoticons
