Make a few hundred posts half as informative as he made and then maybe you can talk. Until then, shush up and listen. You might learn something.

They weren't always right, and nobody treated them as Walt's reincarnates. They simply brought another level of discussion to the table and could easily handle any point in any argument. At one point or another, I would bet that everybody's disagreed with them, but that doesn't mean that they weren't respected and valued parts of our communities. You haven't heard of a certain cherna-bog-vmk, have you?

And as far as that goes, his primary experience is with WDW, not Disneyland. But as a long-term and very knowledgeable poster he didn't deserve the shot you, a person who has been registered here only two days, gave him: <<I don't know who you are or what your history is but from this post alone you sound so incredibly full of yourself.>>

Originally Posted By FerretAfros Well, when you want to look at it in a very scientific way, you're right, nobody is important. But we have a community here. Sure, most people haven't met in real life, but we all know eachothers's personalities. We appreciate what each person has, and the experiences, stories, and viewpoints they bring to the discussions. From what I've gathered so far, you are more arrogant than anybody else on this board, high-jacking a topic that was wondering about two valued people in out community, turning it into a defense about how they were good people. It's like going to a funeral of a total stranger and trying to have a contest to see who is the best dancer by starting a danceoff. It's entirely uncalled for, and just plain rude. And you still haven't answered my question about possibly knowing of a poster named cherna-bog-vmk.

So here comes a 'newbie' who just drops in and attacks -- and he isn't fit to kiss my ass. And he just trashes me ... even uses that bad ass word ... naughty, naughty. Now, see if I stayed here and played this thread would go a couple of hundred posts and I'd tell him off and then I'd be called a bully scaring new posters away and likely get a nasty email from a moderator. I've been down this road. My time is way too valuable for it. Thanks again to my buds here. The kindness you expressed does mean something to me. As to Mr. Spock, have a magical night!

And this is definately similar to a real life situation. I know that you are new here, so you may not have a sense of the community here, but I definatley know the personalities and backgrounds of a lot of posters here. I can even tell who posted, based soley on the writing style and content without looking at the username, a decent amount of the time. I know that there's still a chance that they will come back eventually, but for now, it looks like that won't be any time particularly soon. From my experiences, nobody had a problem with anything that he ever did, but they may have taken opposing viewpoints on different issues. If we all agreed on everything, that wouldn't make for a very interesting discussion board, now would it?

Originally Posted By FerretAfros "You take pictures of Disney parks and post them on message boards. You're no hero." Rule number one of having a valid case: argument must be based in facts. I don't think I've ever seen a picture linked in a Spirit post, even if it was just some random picture off the internet. Clearly you still have no idea who he is, or what he contributed to our boards. And just because I'm complimenting him doesn't by any means say that I'm brown-nosing. It's one thing when it's uncalled for, but he knows his stuff and can always back himself up (unlike you right now). As for pictures making someone a hero, I agree that it just doesn't happen. However, anybody that can produce pictures and great updates from 4 out of the 5 Disney resorts worldwide within a period of about a week and a half has to get some credit. TDLFAN's updates always gave valuable information about the Disney resorts that are less discussed here, making the community much more complete. Since he visited so many parks so often, he was also able to give amazing insight to a wide variety of topics, which definately set him as one of the experts of most Disney resorts.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros "I'm particularly it when you complain about something that Disney has done and they call you a troll..." Then I think you will be pleasantly surprised by our discussions here. The only thing is that, like all good arguments, it really helps to be well informed. Disney related topics are great to discuss both positives and negatives. But when you start out by diving into a discussion of board members without any idea who they were, that definatley qualifies you as a troll. I would love to have a discussion with you about some things that Disney's doing, since you definately seem capable of holding your own, but the way you are introducing yourself to our community definatley has a certain air of trolliness to it.
