I would to propose a Day of Kindness. I am so saddened that within the past week and half of how posters attacking well intentions and those who are sharing thoughts. I would not mind a thread or 2 for the die-hard DBers with a simple title of the thread that day as Debate 1 and Debate 2. There could also be a thread titled Troll Crossing for those who want to show displeasure or must taunt. We need to recognize the need to keep this CB open to all ages which means acting in a more apporiate manner.

I think June 7, tomorrow, would be appropiate day or June 8, or the sooner the better. I see too many people being hurt. Lets make tomorrow a beautiful day. Do a Random Act of Kindness. Make peace with those who you may agree to disagree. Honor those who have passed. Be grateful that you have this day to see the minor things and not so minor things.

*Any pms to me in a negative manner, please do me a favor and use a thumbs down--easier to delete if need be ---lets become a better CB like it was a couple of weeks ago.*


I would like to start off by thanking the moderators, web masters, and Dan Murphy for their hard work. Dan Murphy has been blessed with a gift in graphics that celebrate the joys of wdw and people. He has also memorialized people in a beautiful way.
I like seeing the TAG Fairy(ies)'s humor and gifts.
Oh and I appreciate the faster server speeds.
I am greatful in meeting great new friends from the DIS and cool cms everywhere


Who wants to continue with saying nice words about anyone or a favorite WDW memory? Please those with negative reactions, thoughts, or basic meaness refrain from answering on this thread. This thread is meant to spread positives and kindness. Thank you in advance.

Enjoy!
 
AMEN, me too! It is getting to where I am afraid to post anymore. Pixie Dust to everyone and will see some of ya'll at WDW in less than 30 days now!!! :cheer2:
 
I certainly dont mind anyone debating... but I cant stand people being mean.

I think things wil settle down soon enough but in the mean time I think it would be nice to have a moratorium on nastiness.. at least for day.
 

In the meantime, I'd like to schedule June 9th for "Insult a Random User to the Brink of Tears Day."

If need be, June 10th can be a priority re-evaluation day. ;)
 
gladly joins in day of kindness on monday( but i will hgave to observe it tuesday or some other day) because monday i go to court on the accident:) the drunk driver gets to go before the judge tommorrow:)

Ok You made me laugh!!!

I am not opposed to a thread that says kind words to other users. It is a Disney Board and we should spread more pixie dust!

Ok I will look for the thread tomorrow and spread a smile!:sunny:
 
I want to make clear that I am not against debates, but there is a point where it turns ugly and sometimes that spreads to threads not meant to be flamed/debated/attacked. I don't care to see someone being taunted or teased for saying what they believe or thought was true. Just be more mindful in answering some of these postings. The better path is sometimes the one less travelled. I hate seeing a post like what Dan Murphy created for the precious memory of a friend of the DIS board get where he had it locked. I enjoy people's riddles and games that I wouldn't mind having a nephew or niece read.

A just a tiny request for you- Son of the Morning-I did mention several times in my original post that I want no negativity in this thread. You may start the Debate 1 thread if you want to be mean, hurtful, or just plain disagree. This is meant to raise people's moods to positive thoughts. Remember what you send out will come back to you--so I wish you a happy and joyful night and a beautiful tomorrow.

I could use a spell check button sometimes on here--sorry in advance to teachers/English majors.;)

added--Sorry--Dan Murphy -some of the text got messed up while I was edited the posts-I am so sorry if it got read wrongbefore this last fix. I had a long week and slept little with all of the activities at WDW this past week. I think your posts with graphics as inspiring. ::MinnieMo
 
:bounce: <--- You
:cake:

Use your imagination.

Oh, I'm just joking around because you're making it sound like this board has been overrun by barbarian tribes... relax.

Do I hear a request for maybe the whole week?;) We need to remember why that there is a DIS and what it means to many people. It provides inspiration, hope, prayers for those who believe, or just need an encourgement during a rough spot. It provides an outlet to share in common joys like a child's innonent remark about fireworks or the joy of a birth. It allows people to express sorrow in a loss of a loved one human, animal, or whatever it may be. It is a showcase of poetry and photos. It magically brings people together.

How about let's just make it a way of life? Why can't we all just spread kindness everyday!:confused3

I not sure this total qualifies a RAK---I want this thread to be extra Positive--PD loaded for those becoming discourage or for those who would like to contribute in a positive manner. I did welcome you to start Debate 1 if you were leaning in a negative way. Your response is puzzling and I would kindly ask you to remain on a positive note. You may be the recipient of a kind act in return. Thanks in advance.
 
But if you want this thread to be all light and kindness, why would you write this:

I hate seeing a post like what Dan Murphy created for the precious memory of a friend of the DIS board.

I question that and I'm not even a DB person. ;) :p

I think SOM is being light and fluffy, that's what light and fluffy is to him.

We all think differently on these boards. What is light and fluffy to one, is negative and not so nice to others. I haven't read Sylvia's tribute because I'm sure it's absolutley beautiful and heartfelt and I'm too emotional lately to handle something like that. But that is Dan's way of remembering a friend and someone who was a friend to many here... with true heartfelt love.

I say everyone just be who you are. I like your idea. Those that want to be fluffy tomorrow can join in on your thread, I'm sure it will be a lot of fun and fresh air. Others can play as usual. And maybe, just maybe, everyone will just except each other instead of trying to change each other. If not, they can just keep on a movin' on to the next thread or two.

:wave:

I just cant do it on a whim, its gotta come from the heart
 
Good Idea [COLOR=009966]NC Belle[/COLOR], and I like [COLOR=C71585]yourtravelpro[/COLOR]'s comment about permanence. There is a reason the Dark Side (DB) was closed. This is a website dedicated to all things Disney, and unhappy angriness is not the Disney Way. I might further suggest a few named debate threads; Politics, Religion, The Future Of Disney (Roy vs Mike), Sexual Preference Bashing, and Anger Management. I would suggest Flames and personal attacks be restricted to those threads (and any others that the mods choose) and further restricted to people actively posting in those threads.

OK, it's a thought, It is a much happier thought to ban it entirely from the Dis, and send it to other sites.....

Happy thoughts and Pixie Dust to all....

:bounce:
 
I meant that I treasured the friendship shown in a thread by him for a person who gave all she could in her life and she continues to give even after her passing----The thread that I am refering togot attacked by those less understanding of the meaning perhaps...Its takes a lot to do those types of threads. I wanted to express appreciation for all the effort shown by those threads.

I did ask for no attacks on this thread--the purpose is appreciate things more and spread some joy. Some threads are attacked too frequently. If you want to "flame me" please do it on a Debate 1 thread. I want a safe thread for everyone to enjoy.

It is only a simple request. Thank you for your responses.


Oh, Pop Daddy, I do find a lot of your posts to be fun and sometimes thought povoking. Simple words do say more at times.

Just want to lift spirits this week---to all-even if you flame me---I like "well-done" ;)
 
[COLOR=009966]NC Belle[/COLOR], I hope you didn't take what I said as a flame (Apology) I was trying to seriously offer some further suggestions; it seems that most of the DB threads came down to one of those catagories. PD to you and your friend, and please accept my apologies if I came across wrong....

:bounce:
 
No one has flamed you or attacked you at all. :confused: People are being fluffy and enjoying themselves, it just may be different than the type of fluff you want? :confused: One man's fluff is another man's I don't know what.

So ... I'll just back out of this thread and you guys all have fun.

:confused:
