Corrus is a highly respected poster on that site. Although he indicated he was not a big fan of the thread I started there, and I felt his comment was quite rude, I still respect his opinion. Try not to let your personal feelings get in the way of what a person has to say. I know I have been guilty of that, and regret overlooking what some people are saying. Everyone is entitled to be wrong on occassions, and rude on occassions. Just as long as that's not their normal practice. Once again just my opinion.
Originally Posted By Skellington88 I dont really have an axe to grind with the site since I myself stired trouble there. However I found Corrus to be extremly rude on various occasions not just to me but to other posters as well. He has this high and might attitude with people because at one point he was affiliated with Imagineering. When he sees people complementing Lasseter or the new direction the company is going in he starts getting extremly unprofessional and tries his best to undercut the new management at the Walt Disney company.

Originally Posted By danyoung >I even noticed danyoung joined that site just to correct a few skeptics that still remain questioning the information.< I almost copied the post that I was responding to so I could show it here - it was just so ridiculous. Someone was basically saying "how can all of you people still question things, when Corrus and Lee have stated their opinion, and that should be the end of it!" As I said, I meant no disrespect to Corrus & Lee, as I don't have a clue who they are. But someone wanting to shut down discussion because some high and almighty insider has stated the facts for all time, well, that was just ludicrous!

That wasn't what I was inferring. I was referring to the "experts" on WDWMagic who have kept saying the wand was not coming down, Siemens didn't ask for it, etc. My intent was never to demean Spirit in any way. >>>Corrus is a highly respected poster on that site.<<< Yeah, and Hugo Chavez is highly respected by communists... So what? I hate to dog another website community, but the general tenor of dialogue over there is ... trite in the extreme. Considering WHO respects him... I don't think it helps his air of credibility.

Originally Posted By BlueOhanaTerror ^^^I've read a few of his posts to that effect. He comes off cynical and frankly guessing a lot of the time. Like I said, I think he ducks his head in wherever he can, gets a couple of tidbits and puts the rest together in his head. That's how it comes off to me.

Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 <<I don't swim outside the LP pond so he/she must be a different person. Not sure I would say I have been MIA....just busy.>> If I said you were missed and did so (almost) sincerely, would we see you here more often? ;-)
Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 <<(I would personally love an Indy miniland with a themed maze, minecart roller coaster ride, and a jeep adventure).>> I think ... just a complete guess at this point ... that the Indy jeep idea that Tony Baxter originally pushed for years ago at DL could be repurposed here ...
Originally Posted By leemac ^^ Dude once 11am PDT Monday comes and goes I'll be more than happy to come play more. That money-pit of an attraction in Anaheim has absorbed more time than I could ever possible imagine. I'm sure you can appreciate why I haven't commented on certain things too.

I won't post the numbers I've been given (at least right now) but I just don't understand how things like this happen. This isn't a 'we need another $3 million' here ... but I'm sure you know this better than I. Just tell me ... will it at least be worth it? 9 out of 10 reviews appear to be positive. <<I'm sure you can appreciate why I haven't commented on certain things too. >> I can respect that. But I'm sure there's some Steve Davison project we can gush over in unison! And maybe you can shed some light on what Joe Rohde's up to these days if HKDL expansion is on hold.
