Repeatedly saying you're done with WE, repeatedly returning, and when things don't go your way, repeatedly saying you're a victim.

As a user of the boards, it would never occur to me to complain about administrators on the site. I'm amazed at how entitled some feel they are.

I think I have Disneyland stuff (including trip reports and planning), entertainment, community, history, and WE's checked. I can't keep up with the Disney World stuff. Don't abandon WE's just yet, Hans!

Kar2oonMan and I are friends, and I feel friendly toward Davewasbaloo, Lulu, Scmitty Good Vibes, Hans, Constance and others, the rest is all just anonymous. Which is how I like to be. Beaumandy seems to be able to hold this place hostage just by posting. And gosh knows there are places to get political online. Heck I miss jonvn, fabulous disneybabe and Mr X
