I agree, this board should remain positive. I'm beginning to feel like I'm in an alternate universe here, though. The appropriate response when someone says that they find something offensive, and then outline why they find it offensive, and that others might find it offensive is to say...

Well, the fact is that some people ARE offended by the word. I think that it's sad that the OP's response was basically "tough, too bad, constitutional rights....bla bla bla" I realize that it is your constitutional right to be inconsiderate.

This is a tough one. It really has more to do with the lesson that you want your daughter to walk away with. I think that you should model for her kindness and appropriateness in requesting "justice" in this issue, if that's the way you choose to go. No yelling, no insisting, no...

Stop pissing and moaning. Your kid doesn't meet the height AND age requirement. Sad Boo Hoo, and all. Of course, I'm just kidding. I hope you have a wonderful cruise! :banana:

Dancing Bear, If you do not agree that the post was condescending in it's nature, than that is certainly your prerogative. Was I a little taken aback by the post? You betcha! I notice that you're a DIS Cast Member. What area do you work in?

Does anyone else find this post a little condescending or is it just me? It's not that DCL ships are viewed as "DANGEROUS" places. No, they should be realistically viewed as regular public places that aren't magically guarded by "do no evil" dust. I'm always amazed at this kind of laissez...

How about "Queue" ? As in " the line up to board the ship"

I could be totally off base, and if so, then just ignore this...... If she is happiest "mothering" younger children, and likes feeling in charge -- why don't you leave her in the appropriate age group and have her be the CMs "helper". She might just be miserable in an older age group where...

POKER? I hardly KNOW her!

4Mickey, believe it or not, MY comment was tongue in cheek as well. But please, "a few extra french fries"? You and I both know that theft (like plates and towels) are factored into the cost of the cruise. If people didn't steal, the price would be lower. Just at it would be at the grocery...

My personal thank you for making the cruise so dang expensive. Sheesh :duck:

Oh, for Pete's Sake, no one spells that badly. People....someone lost their life. A family is suffering. Shame on you.

If THIS doesn't tell you how deplorable this person is........ Nice message fella. I hope the family that you are so faithfully "helping" knows how you counsel people.

Absolutely agree Pediatric RNP - I think that Grumpy Tink is just looking for attention. I think that it's deplorable that someone would do that at the expense of the family that is truly suffering. All his details are suspicious........the only thing that seems real is his psychotic need...

Well. it's nice that fairy godmother gave you the "out", but frankly, your post suggested nothing about the "stress" the situation caused you due to trauma. No "what ifs" on your part. No remorse, no sense of caring for the family involved. Just the inconvenience. Just a sense of irony...

"Anyway, this kind of stuff happens to me quite often. I don't know why. I wish I led a more normal life..." GrumpyTink, I hate to break it to you, but this didn't "happen" to you, it happened to that poor woman. After reading the whole thread where you posted you make it sound like this...

Gosh, I didn't mean to imply this in a negative way. I just meant that the self-induced stress made me sad, not the act of wanting to be low-key. Hope I didn't offend anyone. :(

This is the thing I don't understand. If its the "norm" to have your name called out, then why would anyone think badly of you for having it done? Is the original poster worried that they will come off looking like a show off? I don't get it. Truly, the only people who will think negative...

I think it was pretty funny that I heard "bla bla bla T-SHIRT! bla bla bla bla T-SHIRT!" disclaimer ~(there was absolutely no way to write that without it possibly offending someone, so please know that no offense was intended)
