Ace of Cakes

I thought that looked like Duff's work.

nevermind

Wow, someone put this date on the calendar! John has nothing to say!!

Okay, enough. Clearly saying that I'm drinking the Universal Kool-Aid without making any attempt to justify it is an insult and nobody would take it any other way.

Moderators......seriously?

Actually, she said she wanted kool-aid, and made no mention of you...not even a quote.

And I agree....moderators.....seriously?

 

[Lou Holtz]

Why are you so defensive? Where in my post did I say anything about you or your post?

I see how you took it that I was responding to your post, but the only connection was your story about how defensive the Universal board was anytime you said something critical of Universal and comparing it to what is happening to me now when people think I am defending Universal.

 

[katscradle]

I heard someone mentioned kool-aid!
I hope it's grape flavored, I love grape!
Large glass please!

 

[3guysandagal]

I think that Carnival Ape Crazy is my new favorite saying...

Sorry, had to go back to this.

I cannot take credit for it.

I believe I heard it first from Kevin on a podcast many moons ago.

It even takes on new meaning after seeing Toy Story 3 on Friday.

hu? You sure make a lot of assumptions.

It's sad how you guys are acting right now, honestly. It's like in third grade when a new kid comes in. She said "Suddenly, I'm in the mood for some Kool Aid". That's the exact post. There are no two ways to take that. I know you guys know that and you're acting like a bunch of third grade bullies because you know each other and I don't post in this particular area very often. Please, we are human beings. I can't believe how nasty you guys are acting right now.

 

[DisneyKevin]

Try articulating in words what you agree and disagree with so we can have an adult discussion instead of taking this kind of petty shot which serves no purpose but to insult. I've reported your post.

I'm not entirely sure why you think she was aiming that remark at you.

I assume that you dont know Shelly very well....so you she could be a huge Universal fan and aiming that quip at me.

As you can not be sure....it seems that there is a great deal of drama of nothing.

You might want to take a look in the mirror. Saying something doesn't make it true. There are about 100 ways she could have meant that, but since you are unable to recognize that fact, I guess we are all wasting our time.

 

[Disneybridein2k3]

Exactly! I assumed she meant that we (this forums regulars) were drinking the kool-aide. So maybe I should be offended?

That is what I thought too. I'm totally offended. I love kool-aid. It should be about freedom of choice - we can drink whatever we want without feeling intimidated by these internet posts.

PS - Grape is my favorite too!

 

[DisneyKevin]

I think you guys are going to get people who have a negative experience contact you before anyone because they heard your podcast and feel that you want to hear it for some reason. Not to say that I've heard only positives, but it's not the unmitigated disaster that maybe the things you've heard might suggest. The bulk of the hundreds of accounts I've read seem to point to things going about as smoothly as you'd expect by now.

Again...I'm not certain what makes your people more believable than my people.

As neither of us seem to have been there...this is all conjecture and you know what they say about opinions....right?

 

[DisneyKevin]

It's clearly a flame and what it amounts to is trolling spam. I really don't appreciate it, especially when there's nothing Kool-Aid about it. Point out what you think I said that is not reality and we can discuss it. I don't appreciate the cheap shot.

Again....who said she was talking to you?

Seriously!

I miss WO, anyone heard from him?

You guys are really going to hold a grudge about that, aren't you? I understand that you don't like that I was upset by something one of your friends posted to me. If SHE can honestly tell me she didn't mean it that way, I'll believe it. I made it clear that I was just frustrated that the first hint of saying anything uncritical of Universal, I'm labeled a Kool Aid drinker. If she meant it another way, I'll take her at her word and that will be it. Why can't we just leave it at that? There's really no need to attack someone on an internet message board because they feel that a friend of your's has taken an unwarranted shot at them.

 

[DisneyKevin]

Why is that such a problem for people?

That's not the problem.

The problem is the overly defensive posturing over something that's a bit unimportant.

And the calling people "spam trolls" (which might be my new favorite catch phrase) when you are not really certain that the comment was directed at you seems a bit overzealous.

Sorry you feel attacked, but I disagree with your premise. I don't think you were ever attacked and no one here cares enough to "hold a grudge"
