Remember too, this time of year, people prefer happy fluff news to anything of substance. Helps ease the conscience I think.

You've already told us before your first name is Mike, so unless you're lying about your last name, who just got baited into posting his personal information on a message board? Considering all the animosity you've created here, that has to be one of the all time idiotic things I've ever seen anyone do.

They have a policy that everyone has to use their real name as their user name - they can have nicknames that they change, but their real name is in every header. People post differently when their real name is out there.

Just because you don’t agree with someone’s political views, I mean we think you lefties are pretty nutty but even still that’s no reason for anyone to go Franken! When the threats start it’s either time to take a break or ask your doctor if Prozac is right for you! Just remember at the end of the day we’re all nerds who like to get fleeced by the Walt Disney Co. so that makes us all friends. Merry Christmas, P

Originally Posted By StillThePassHolder Let me tell you all a little story, portions of which I've related before and some of which some posters observed at the time. A couple of years back or so, I posted a lot more often on the DL General board than I do now. One night, a few of us got into yet another running discussion about the merits of the then-current park management. It was widely acknowledged park president (or whatever she was) Cynthia Harriss was going to be fired soon, but for some reason, she was still hanging around. So, I said in a post "why don't they just pull the trigger?". Well, another rather well known Disney poster and person about town actually took that literally. We all thought this person was kidding, but nope, the person was very serious about choosing to interpret my remark as someone should actually shoot Harriss. This person reported me (actually, my handle here, if you can believe that) to the Anaheim P.D. and park management asa threat to Harriss. Others later told me this person made an effort to find out my true identity but was stymied. Not one to let go, this person used the trigger phrase as a tag line on posts made on various different message boards along with derogatory comments about me. As a matter of fact, if you google my screen name you can find evidence of if today. As recently as earlier this year, this person, in other threads, accused me of stalking when I posted in a thread this person was involved with. So, please don't tell me giving away personal information is harmless. In my other life before I became an attorney, my life was threatened on several occasions. Judges and lawyers in my line of work now get threatened all the time. A family law judge and his wife were killed in their driveway a few years ago. For all the above reasons, you'll never see me give away my personal information here. I've experienced first hand what can happen.

Originally Posted By Beaumandy Wow, I agree with STPH. Only a fool would give out their personal information on the internet. Sure a guy can be accused of hiding behind a keyboard and talking tough, but thats just the way the internet works. Personally I would love to meet the people I fight with on here just to say hi and call a truce for a few minutes so we can discuss how much my WDW trip is going to run me. It was a year or so ago that a guy was on line debating a Muslim. Somehow the Muslim got pissed and found out who the guy was, went over to his house and killed the entire family. You know, the religion of peace. It makes you really wonder what it would be like to be Bill O Reilly, Rush or Ann Coulter.

People who behave in a respectable manner have the privilege of calling me by my name. Those who do not...do not. It's all up to you if you get that privelege...and right now, you have a LOT of penance coming.
