We have our own friends with whom we enjoy Disney parks and movies with but thank goodness for that or we would be very discouraged with trying to make new friends with some of the negative influences we see among the current Disney fan communities.
Originally Posted By Goofyernmost So, just for clarification ORDDU, what are you saying? I'm confused! If I don't see the explained purpose of the pictures to be anything like they were sold, I cannot get along with others and am not worthy of friendship? I didn't think it was childish, I just didn't or wasn't able to see anything about them that made me think... Wow... Disneyworld in miniature. Nothing even close, but like I said...I just may not be visually able to do so.

When I read Ordu's post it seemed to not be referring to anybody in specific and definitely not on LP. My personal style on LP is usually broadened by recognizing most poster's sense of humor. For instance CC has a sly but very innocent humor that makes us think she is younger but we know she has 2 children and lots of responsibility. I on the other hand am very serious and rarely funny! When I read matthewdorf response it seemed harsh just because I am not familiar with his posting style. Please do not take offense when none was intended. Although I still do not understand why a subject turns so negative before we can really discuss anything about the actual subject and then we have to start explaining everything else but the real subject.

This board has been dying a slow death since Spirit left.

Originally Posted By Witches of Morva ORDDU: You are correct, MickeyMouseClub, duckling. I wasn't meaning to speak about anyone in particular.

It's very reflective of what goes on in the real world and sometimes it can be discouraging as well as encouraging, depending on a witch's frame of mind at the time. ORWEN: When we first found out about Laughing Place it was very new and unique. So were all the other Disney sites out there. And we just assumed we'd all be agreeing with each other about everything only to find out there's a lot more we actually disagree about! ORDDU: That's what happens when so many different ducklings from so many different points of view come together, the challenge to maintain proper understanding and even civility can become overwhelming. We're sure some of you can relate. ORWEN: That's why it's so important to not jump to the wrong conclusions about each other. We're all tempted to do that, you know. And it's sad when that happens. ORDDU: So with that in mind-- ORGOCH: --let's all go out an' ketch a big mess a frogs and have 'em fried up fer supper!!
Originally Posted By DDMAN26 <<Thanks Ddman I must be a not as smart as a 10 year old cause I enjoyed and thanks for sharing.>> You're very welcome. Like I said I thought it was very cool. And I have neither the time, patience or artistic inclination to carry on such a project even if it was done by a 10 year old. If a 10 year old can do that that then good for him/her. And I've said this about this particular board but if someone came looking for information about their next WDW vacation I would steer them far away for him here.
Originally Posted By DDMAN26 <<This board has been dying a slow death since Spirit left.>> Well considering he had the tendency to disappear up is own rear end I can't say he was ever a favorite.
Originally Posted By leobloom Dislike him if you want, but he brought insider news and interesting discussion here. Can't say either is very common on this board anymore.
Originally Posted By Goofyernmost Spirit is not on trial here! However, that said although I agree that there isn't as much discussion as when he was here, he was not even close to the glue that held this board together. It was folks like Pixie Glitter, Lizann and, of course our favorite "the Witches" among many others, that made this a fun place. Spirit overwhelmed us, actually himself more then us, with his close to obnoxious posting and ego. I got to the point where I could no longer stand to read the boards and especially his. I don't know him personally nor do I care too, but he just served to stir the pot rather than have any constructive conversations. It was all one sided. It was this type of conversation that pushed people out of here. It is tiresome to feel that only one opinion counts. We all have our own opinions about things and I know that I have managed to ruffle a few feathers myself but only when I felt provoked. That drove many old time posters away and only the fact that I am too old and way to stubborn to be pushed out by someone I don't even know has kept me here. Sorry...back to our discussion about the idea of whether or not it is necessary to recognize a series of photos as depicting WDW miniaturized.
Originally Posted By leobloom What happened to the other resident insider Leemac?

Ok...but that's not much to write home about.
