Ok folks...

Guys,

A post had to be deleted today by the Moderator Team because a fight broke out over here.

Dad is not happy about that, and I'm pretty sure Mom and HOB would agree.

Please, PLEASE if you want to talk politics take it to the CB.

Let's try to keep this area positive!

If you find something offensive let one of us know, and we will look into is ASAP. Just ignore it in the mean time, arguments over here give big ole Dad a headache!

So please... keep the debates on the other area of the site!

Thanks!

Dad:wizard:
 
Mike did you get to read the thread that bled over to here? Everyone was very well behaved there and here, the only one that seemed to take anything up a notch was one of the moderators :scared1:

I dont think you have anything to worry about or feel shamed about, it was handled by one very cool moderator Mackey Mouse. I cant , in good consious let things like what started happening today go. I can however handle them respectfully and within DISboard standards.

I dont think you or mom or DB would have let this one go either, or anybody that was around at the time.
 
May I just speak here although I do not know who Dad, Mom or HOB is for that matter?? I think I can guess though, Orlando Mike, Viki and Rick????;) :)

I think that it was a misunderstanding gone bad, just linking what you thought would help when in essence it seemed to upset. I think I understood where everyone was coming from and tried to just step in and do the best I could to help. I do not think any of the posters here on this board were out of bounds with their comments, I certainly understood how they were feeling. I just tried to diffuse what I could and asked for help from admin, hence the Moderating team coming in and locking a thread here. It happens, even with the best moderating and the best posters, sometimes admin has to come in and just put a stop to it.

So hugs to all of us yesterday for getting through what could have been even worse for those involved..
 
Well said Mack!

Guys, let's just treat what happened as a learning experience and move on. Not everyone can agree with everything posted. Lord, don't I know that! But we can still learn. I do all the time.

Have a great day everyone!
 

Some of you have PM'd me, and I thank you for that.

I don't really know what all happened yesterday, as links have been deleted and posts removed. All I know is a post over here was shut down yesterday, and I deleted it because quite frankly it gave me a headache just trying to read it.

I look at this section of the DIS boards as a place where we can come after work and read about good things, happy things, things to make us smile. :) We are like a small family over here. When I'm in the mood, I'll pop over to the CB to see what the rest of the world is up to. You guys have been great about keeping things positive, and I know sometimes people post things we don't all agree with. But for now, all I'm asking is to keep this section of the boards positive. Like I said before, if someone pops over here and starts something negative, just let it be, eventually Rick, Viki or I will get to it.

Now who wants to talk about Disney?:tinker:
 
Mackey we better see you over here more now, you have been inducted into our little family ! Sorry you had to jump into the deep end wearing all your clothes but point is , WE HAVE YOU NOW :lmao:

Looking forward to seeing you here and in the world in december!:)
 
Sheesh, this was just all happy booze talk the other day.

I don't know what the fight was about, I missed it.

Can we get back to booze now? :goodvibes

I do not know about this booze talk, but yesterday made me crazy and I ended up going out to dinner with friends and having two mojitos, giving my youngest daughter the keys to the car as I was pretty silly and could not drive......I am such a lightweight when it comes to drinking..

One more thought............hope this comes out right, this has nothing to do with stereotypes, just my experiences. I am an antique dealer and can I say I do some of my best shopping with my men friends who are antique dealers and just happen to be gay...

NYBlue...I am the daughter of a Boston cop and the sister of a Captain Detective retired from the Boston Police... I knew I liked you...

Hugs to all of us.. I think we are all ok....right???

Boston eh? You must be very excited for tonight!!! I am myself, need to sox to sweep so the yankees can announce their manager and get on with it!!!;)

I hope you still like me!!! :lmao:

Now I see you are a natural born moderator, its in your blood!!!:laughing:
 
Boston?

I live there for years!

Worked at the Bay Towah Room!:lmao:

Who's bringing me some Hilltop Steakhouse Salad Dressing?
 
Bahsten girl, born and bred, but now lives on Cape Cawd...I will be near the Hilltop Thursday and will be thinking of you Orlando Mike.. and I have been to the Bay Towah room for many parties..

And yes I still like you NYBlue, you can be a Yankees fan, one of my best friends on the Dis tortures me with Yankee stuff. I stayed at her house one time in NY and she poured me coffee every morning, I had my own mug, and for two days I drank out of that mug and then noticed it was a Yankees mug.. she still laughs over it.. Besides you are police, and there is that certain thing, with police and their families...I always back the police..

Although I just came back from the movies and saw Gone Baby Gone, filmed in Boston, and I thought oh no... while I was trying to analyze the plot and hoping that it was not the police who were the bad guys.. Hate that. I also hate those actors trying to do the Bahsten accent........you have to live here to do it...and mine is badddddd..

Thanks for being so sweet to me, Red Sox fan and all, I am glad that I have an open invite to hang out.. thanks again..
 
You must be going past the "Hilltop" in Brantree. That my friend is NOT the true Hilltop! The one and only Hilltop is in Saugus!

No sour cream, no credit cards, and one kind of salad dressing! :cool1:

I have a friend, she can wait till just the right moment, and call out "44, 56, 142, and 89 to Carson City" and, well the rest just aint pretty, just check out the Tag!:confused3
 
Hey! I lived in Boston as well when I was a kid. There used to be a naval base in Chelsea that closed down in '74/'75. We were one of the last families to move out.

Went to elementary school in Brookline, at Pierce Elementary at the time.
 
Wow! If anyone really sits down and reads these threads from beginning to end, they'd think some of us have multiple personalities. Although, the voices in my head tell me not to admit it that often, the other voices get jealous.
ANYWHO! Where was I? I don't remember. Anyone have some mint?
 
Nope.....I am going to Wakefield and will be heading out Route 1 back to Boston over the Mystic River Bridge through Saugus, pass the original Hilltop. Of course, I know the original....hmmm, can we name all the rooms, Kansas City, Carson City. And how about those hostesses, yeah, they were very interesting.........Actually one of my Aunts worked there, something I do not always admit, you had to know a Medford, Malden or Saugus policeman to work there, somehow they had the connections to get you a job.


PS....THE RED SOX WON!!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!
 
Kansas City, Carson City, Dodge City, Virginia City....

Am I missing any?

Really didn’t mean to start anything but by the same accord I was not going to sit idly by and watch as moderators joined in on a thread geared to bash us. It might not be what they intended to do but it was what they ultimately did. I must say I don’t think it was a fight (at least in my part) more of bringing to light how certain things come off and how they can be interpreted by someone on the boards when it comes from a moderator. I apologize but really it was a do as I say not as I do type of situation.


Now I am off to Disney. See you all in 10 days!

Not that I am sensitive, but maybe I better not post here anymore since I am a moderator and I did post on that thread, but I did it to help....not to hurt anyone. I hope you all understand.. I will back away slowly now, you all take care.
