For some us LP is a portal for talking to our real friends.

This thread is essentially following the same trend of every other discussion that Spirit has been involved in. It's actually been sort of nice not having to deal with that for the past couple of months, in my opinion. I think the discussions have been a lot more focused on Disney and a lot less focused on individual warped personalities lately. It's been kinda nice.

And once it takes away from your “real life†then it becomes destructive. For that simple reason - TDLFAN has choosen to reduce his online time and focus on ONE discussion board. Go to Micechat. I still enjoy reading LP and Micechat but my “real life†comes first. My main driver for reading LP is to gain insight from the talent responsible for the decision making of the attractions we get to experience. And reading SPIRIT’s posts - he has a wonderful way of expressing the thought process of the theme park designs and TDL complements by actually SHOWING the results of the new additions and decisions. I find it all fascinating and enjoy speculating on the up-and-coming additions. There is no excuse for “mean†discussion - ever ...
Originally Posted By bobbelee9 Wow, all it took was the mention of Spirit and everybody got busy posting again! Yes, it's been really slow on the boards lately.

Originally Posted By Sport Goofy << Everything has been friendly and nice, but not very thought provoking. >> There's been plenty of thought provoking discussion -- just not the polarizing kind of discussions. And it's been great to not have to deal with the daily cult of personality discussions where we recite the names in the Disney management org chart ad nauseum and try to paint everyone into the corner of being hero or villain.

Much better than TV! I guess I kinda became obsessed with LP too. And what ever happened to MPierce? He's another I've enjoyed reading. I've come to think of so many LPers as family or friends, with a few black sheep thrown in.

Originally Posted By Roger55 I'm still here on LP, but I haven't been feelin' the love from y'all lately...errr...ever! Maybe I should announce my departure too??? NAHHH! Like most situations in "real" life, you have to take the bad with the good. While some of Spirit and TDLFAN's info, insight and opinions will be missed, the drama and attitude associated with some of their contributions won't be IMO. This same thing could be said about others here, so I'm not singling(doubling?) them out. Just let them ride off into the LP sunset peacefully. Asking "why?" and calling for their return just provokes all the mixed opinions to come out(as already evident), just like their contributions to LP use to. JMO.
