    Truly.

    There seems to be strain of nastiness that has permeated this place of late. And it recently drove off one of this board's truly wonderful posters ... someone I consider a friend (whether we agree like bashing WalMart or disagree like the virtues of WDW being a timeshare kingdom.)

    I'm going to give some unsolicted advice since this is a discussion board and suggest that if anyone thinks a thread is stupid or inane or a waste of time AND I DO NOT FEEL THAT WAY ABOUT THIS ONE, it might really be best just not to post.

    I don't post on Dole Whip threads ... or fave character threads ... or FastPass threads etc ... for those reasons. But I also don't come on, drop a snarky comment and then wonder why people might have a problem with it.

    Just a thought ... now let's all have a magical night (and I mean that in the real, non-snotty CM way).

    Exactly. The same goes for when folks complain about a TV show. If you don't like it...TURN THE CHANNEL. One of the great things about life is "Choice". You can choose to turn the channel, post or not post.

    censorship sucks ... even in a forum such as this one. You don't like something? Move along to a thread more your liking.

    And yeah, this thread is now reminding of me of message boards for certain TV shows. Someone will post about how stupid a show is or they don't like it. Well guess what, ya don't have to post there! Usually such places are for people who *like* the shows.

    Unless it's a post directed at how stupid a show is, then don't post. It's just a waste of valuable cyberspace. ;)

Sometimes things need to be said that are negative about Disney because like anything else, man made, it isn't perfect. But really some of you guys need to understand that this board is called Laughing Place not Whine and Put Down Place. I have stayed because I like a lot of the people that frequent this board but I do remember when I started that this was a place to come and talk to fellow Disney lovers about the things we loved about it. Not contradict, find fault and generally bring the mood down.

    You are correct, none of us have to post here. It is our choice but I will defend my stand when it is challenged and I will try and help others defend theirs when I think that everything has gotten mean spirited and hostile. That is part of discussion. Just because someone disagrees with an opinion does not mean that they don't want that opinion aired, it just means that they disagree. I have yet to see anyone make such a strong point in these discussions that it just swayed everyone into believing their stance, so why try so hard.

    I don't have a problem with you pointing out problems even though I do feel that sometimes they are blown out of proportion by many posters, not necessarily you. I also do not want to feel like I am belittled and looked down on because I don't always share the mass panic. I don't understand why when you say, if you don't agree, it may be best to just not post you don't understand that advice goes for either side of an argument. Yours is not the only correct answer.

    Since it seems necessary now let me state this general reason for this post. I am trying to explain why people do not always agree with some of you regardless of your Disney expertise and why they are allowed to express those differing opinions and not be told NOT TO POST IF WE DISAGREE. Is it starting to get clearer why there is occasional hostility?

    That isn't what I said.

    Go back and read the post. You can agree with an OP, or you can disagree.

    What rankles me is when people come in with nothing to add on either side and just bash the thread for existing. That was the case with this thread. There are plenty of threads here that aren't my thing, so I stay out since I don't feel I have anything to add.

    <<Yours is not the only correct answer.>>

    That's just your opinion.

    Spriti, I apologized for being snarky. I'm asking that everyone just drops this once and for all. I made a mistake, I ticked off a lot of people and I apologized. I thought we put this baby to bed, but you came and woke him up again.

    What else do I need to do before you people stop correcting me?
