We all know why this thread was started. I don't understand people that get off on being meanspirited.

So I decided to create World Events and made a point of saying this section, by its nature, would have much more heated discussions than were permitted in other areas of LP. Since its creation we've fluctuated some in how heavily we moderated it. But at this point, I do believe the best course of action is light moderation. Honestly, I don't believe a Disney board is the best place to discuss some of the matters. But I also realize LP goes beyond Disney and the people that know each other here want to talk about things of a much more serious nature. WE allows that to occur for those who want it, and allows it to be ignored for those who don't. But our mods here are simply not in a position to do the moderating necessary to keep that section as "friendly" as the others. So I've asked them to keep out the profanity and to keep out the harsh personal attacks and certainly threats, but other than that, to by and large, let them go. As I said, it's a section that I would honestly prefer not exist. But I think the boards as a whole are served better by letting it exist as a free-for-all (within reason) than removing it and worrying about its content creeping into other secions which is what occured before.<<<< <a href="http://mb.laughingplace.com/default.asp?WCI=MsgBoard&WCE=T-78000-P-1&Refresh=0914130514" target="_blank">http://mb.laughingplace.com/de fault.asp?WCI=MsgBoard&WCE=T-78000-P-1&Refresh=0914130514</a>
