New Here and kind of taken aback.

New here and started looking at some communities throughout the boards, some seem really lovely and helpful about Disney trips, Disneyana, and general stuff like weight loss, cruises, and budgeting.

In that same vein, I find it disheartening to feel like because I am a new poster on the Disboards, I'm looked at as if any info or an opinion is not welcome. I'm here to gain knowledge about Disney and other topics and impart anything I can to help other people in any way I can, but wow, some of the boards seem like a bunch of hens clucking at each other, who can cluck loudest or be more sarcastic or snarky at other posters they deem not as special(not speaking about me, as I have personally have not encountered that, yet)

Any advice beisdes guidleines and really just common sense, I'd love to be an active membe here on the boards but not if I can expect that type of thing going on.

I've found that there are some posts on this board like that, also. I choose to just pay attention to those that are positive, ignore the negative nellie's that may respond to my posts, be REALLY sure I want feedback if I'm asking a personal question. Its all in how you look at it. We're a board made up of people. You'll find those posters on here that you love and you'll find yourself in the same threads as them over and over. You'll come to learn those that are always going to see the negative and you'll just skim over their posts. (And which topics are ALWAYS going to stir up a hornet's nest! ) Come on in and enjoy!

Don't let it dis- hearten you, I learn to ignore these posters. I think some of them are actually trying to get into a tittle tattle fight sometimes.
And you will get use to them stating every little slip or mistake you post as if they have won gold at noticing.

Have fun and just say what you want because 90% of the Forum love hearing all points of View.
Anyway your made of harder stuff- all Glaswegians are made of Girders
