Again, my beef is not with your content so much, even if I only partially agree with it - you're entitled to those opinions, I know where you're coming from, and I even share some of them. I'm talking about not expanding the vocabulary beyond a few pet points.

DCA is good, and its creators showed wise judgment. DCA is good, and its creators made great decisions. DCA is good, and its creators deserve patience and understanding. ...you'd think, hmm, ok, now I'll move on to the next set of comments.

Please someone continue by saying "yeah, but what did you mean when you said back in 2001.....". Thanks.

I am also hearing many are really liking the changes that are being implemented to DCA, and the resort in general.

It's one thing to express an opinion, but the transparent bias and double standard against DCA is something else. I assume it stems from an irrational and deep-rooted hatred of the previous management, I don't know. Whatever the reason, the rhetoric has become predictable to the point of being tired and meaningless. You know that something is wrong when people refuse to accept easy to comprehend and straightforward facts.
