The WDW section gets even angrier from time to time. That's the section world events regulars are afraid of! ; )

Or is it just common banter here on LP including WE, where according to mele the rules on LP are more lax.

Originally Posted By Lisann22 Well, I think you are stretching it in saying that using the word "bitching" as in "gripe about something" as profane language directed at you. I'm not sure if you get how often this comes up with you in World Events. You pile on your very strong opinions about something and when the opinions differ and things get heated you cry foul. It's a repeated pattern. I think I'd reflect on that a bit before claiming there are just mean LPers and just you are being picked on. Just how I see it.

Originally Posted By DAR It depends on the tone and contex. If you say it like "Good morning my little starshine, you little schmoopy poopykins." then it's in a loving tone. But if you say "yeah good morning starshine, what you want." well than that could be a little off putting.
