NEW GREAT SWAP/SMILEY DEBATE(former "Pop Will .... Fridges For Swap?" thread)

[CarolA]

It seems as if ideas and words are being lost and/or mixed up. To clarify my position, Katie stated that "This is about the most respectful thread I've ever read with varying opinions." Respectful, in my book, is not rolling your eyes over another posters comments, it has nothing to do with sensorship.

:

If I could FIND the rolling eye smilie I would insert him here. (FOUND HIM: )

This is bizarre!




Here's a hint... it's also not respectful to tell other what they can and can't say or post. You may not LIKE it, but as has been pointed out it's a PUBLIC message board. If you don't like a thread just don't open it....Don't attempt to "lecture" people on posting rules 101 according to thelionking. What you are saying in effect is that "only post that meet my standards are right" UH... NO!

This will be my final post on this thread as I feel like Im running around in circles. If you're referring to my posts, would you please tell me where I told someone not to post something?

A poster insulted a comment I made, which was meant to be humorous and then commented that I was being disrespectful. MY reply, to that comment, was that if respectful was an issue, that poster might want to refrain from using insultive smilies.

Never did I TELL or INSTRUCT anyone to not do something, that is not something I would ever do. I merely SUGGESTED that if they wanted to keep the word THEY used, which was respect, that the smilie the poster used was disrespectful.

However, I'm fairly certain, that this will be taken out of context again, which is the reason I'm just going to let it go.


I love reading posted comments,. whether or not I agree with them, makes no differnece to me. But I did not EVER intend to try to censor anyone nor try to make them "conform" to my opinion, and I don't appreciate the implication that I did so.

Here's a hint as well, maybe take the time to read and understand something before accusing anyone of anything. It shows that no degree of detail was used at all in reference to my comments, as my name isn't even correct.

Your "suggestion" came across as telling someone what to do. Even if that wasn't your intention, that is how it came across to me.

Anyone want overs or unders on when this one get shut down? If it is not within the next 10 seconds? I say, under 4. Anyone?

One can only hope! As far as it came across to you and others, that was not my intent; for that I apologize. I cannot also assume the outcome of everyone's opinion that reads it. Again, not my intent. Countdown begins.

Well if you're stepping out, I'll jump in, because you're completely right. These insulting smileys are a problem because THEY ARE INSULTS. Telling somebody not to insult you on a board that forbids personal attacks is clearly different from telling somebody not to post on a public board.

The person who said "don't post your opinions here because that's not what I want in my thread" was advocating a kind of censorship; he/she was trying to tell people what they could and could not post. The person who posts with insulting smiles is violating the spirit of the rules, if not the rules themselves, and should be called out for it.

What'd she say, she erased it before I saw. This has been an interested thread to follow.

Just there have been no posts for 2 days and then all of a sudden she "accidently" posts to it? Which bumps it up for others to see/read... just seemed a little suspicious to me that's all.

Thanks for the comment, it is exactly what I meant and appreciate you stepping out

So, any new news on fridge swaps being discontinued?

No news other than the answer I got from Pop the other day.

Hmm...

The post before this was your LAST post on this thread?????


As for the fridge swaps.....

My bets on Disney just continuing to "lose" the fridges when they get left for any length of time..... It's becoming apparent from thier refusal to give claim checks to thier lack of concern when one is lost that they don't really feel like they want to be involved, but they don't want to "pull the plug" based on the information the OP got so.....

 

[thelionqueen]

I apologize for changing my mind, and therefore reading this thread; Looks like I offended yet again.

Actually I am still very interested in the information about the fridge swaps, and decided to see if any more information came out.

Did not mean to insult anyone by my unauthorized posting, however it seems that comments directed at me are fair game. I think its still OK to read and post to whatever thread on the DIS you choose, correct me if I'm wrong. (choosing not to include all caps, excessive punctuation or smilies)

Personally besides still wanting some cake !! I want to see the Swaps continue cuz it can save me money! I don't think Disney resorts should be responsible for lost fridges they are doing us a free service by storing them.I also think they may see the advantage of them freeing up their rental ones. Disneymakes plenty of money off us and I think this is just a little courtesy they provide . Now if you have a different opinion that's fine , we all have them and I won't knock you for yours and just do the same .I refuse to sink to sarcasm over this in fact I respect every bodies right to their oppinion . Now please let's keep this Nice and on track!!
