I didn't get it either! REALLY, REALLY


<<It also has something to do with the lack of tone, delivery and stress from the written word on message boards.>>

Can we add cryptic messages to that list.

Then I made a ridiculous and hyperbolic comment, boasting about my own apparent attractiveness and how anybody that didn't see me in such a manner is an idiot.


I kinda thought it was obvious.

ORDDU: It was obvious to those of us who understood where you were coming from, dear. There are some individuals who just don't mesh and it often seems that others go out of their way to misunderstand each other. Never will those types be friends. Some people are just toxic to each other. I'd say you and danyoung do not mesh with each other and should probably not even try. We don't mesh with that one either and have decided to ignore him in the future. There are so many other more compatible ducklings--like yourself--whom we have much more fun with.

That was the joke? Hey, I got that one. I thought maybe I missed something else. And even after getting the joke, I was just making a comparison with another famous poster. Accept the comparison or don't - it was just an observation.

As to that witches dude? His words are irrelevant, and I don't hear him anymore.

Oh, and Bob, I hope you don't give up on trying to make your point. It might not seem like it sometimes, but for the most part I enjoy our online scrimmages. All I ask for is civility. That's the one element that allows people who see things differently to continue enjoying their discussions.

And coming back to your point bob, it is like DLP this year. Le Chateau de la belle au bois dormant (the castle) was in desperate need of refurbing well over 5 years ago. I was so pleased that they finally took care of it this year, but the European boards were full of people complaining it was going to ruin their trip. When I had felt the degradation was starting to ruin mine. The point was, they have to do it sometime.

I do wonder what the web would have been like in the early 80's when DL closed ALL of Fantasyland to refurb it?!!!

Indeed.

I guess, for me, that's one of the reasons I enjoy staying up to date with exactly what is happening in the parks.

It means that I will try to meticulously plan my next trup so that, if those things bother me, I just will plan around it.

And Dan - thank you for the olive branch. I understand what the witches were saying but I also agree that civility is very important. I know now that my style of communication is a little more "cutting" and sarcastic. I would have thought that after a few years here(longer than I like to admit, now that I look back), people would have gotten used to it.

The Witches have made me feel special just by calling me a duckling...and danyoung is just one of those people I like to see on the boards and he has offered friendship with his words to me. Honestly the most fun on these boards often comes forward as you begin to recognize a poster's style or quirkiness or personality. We have lost many on these boards lately. I guess I am saying I enjoy all the differences and would not want to experience the loss of anybody's thoughts or feelings or words on LP

Thanks, Mmc and Bob, for your kind words. I've always thought I could get along with anybody. Someone posting something I disagree with is nothing to get testy over. It's only when my words are greeted with condescending dismissal that I get a little cranky.

So I guess we should remember to be careful and not toss words around. I know we all care about each other and would be thrilled to meet.

I am announcing in another topic:
I LOVE WDW
and just realized why as I was posting in Tash's honeymoon planning topic.
