I have two favorite sites - this and Rita's. I always come here first and then go to Rita's. Today when I tried her site I could not get in. Just tried again. I don't understand why people go out of their way to ruin things. I guess they have nothing better to do with their sorry little lives! I never thought I would see this on a Disney vacation site! The site is also known as the Readers clubhouse. I don't know if anyone else used it but here is the message:
"Dear Friends,
During the past five years, you've created a
miracle on the Internet.
You built a great-hearted community firmly
footed in uncommon generosity and compassion.
You welcomed every new visitor with
enthusiasm and kindness, and gave of
yourselves unconditionally so
that others might experience the joy in your
hearts.
You became so powerful in goodness, that you
were able to focus your minds in concert and
heal the sick, bring abundance to those in
need, and provide unmatched comfort to one
another -- all this, without a single rule or
guideline. You did this yourselves.
Wherever you go, you will carry in your heart
this miraculous tool. I urge you to use it,
for it will surely reward you and leave
everyone you touch with your mind, better than
you found them.
It is these simple acts of kindness toward
your fellow man that will make the world a
garden of peace. Don't lose the faith. Evil is
a living force that operates through good
people in the form of blind hate.
Don't mistake the evil for the person. Offer
them compassion and understanding, and hold to
the good.
This is not an Aeroism. These are the
teachings of every great spiritual visionary
who has walked the earth, from Christ to
Muhammad, from Buddha to Zoroaster. When we
say "In God We Trust" we are speaking of the
Message, not the messenger. The Message is
simple: "Be good to each other."
However, when your open-hearted generosity
toward new visitors in the Clubhouse results
in emailed and posted death threats against
our members -- and when the hosting webmasters
tend to respond with "hey man, it's freedom of
speech" -- we recognize that the time has
come for all of us to spread out and carry the
message of Unconditional Kindness across the
Internet.
So, now it's your turn to be the Messenger.
It's your turn to show the world what it looks
like.
Along the way, forgive others their
trespasses, for they know not what they do.
And do not be led into the temptation of
camaraderie with those who feed on hatred and
bitter vengeance. You will be able to see
clearly into people's true souls as you watch
their reactions to what has happened here. Use
this compass to guide you.
Goodness will prevail; that's how the Universe
is designed. So go forth and share the miracle
you created.
Your Devoted Staff,
Readers Clubhouse "
I hope this never happens to this site.
