So what do you do?

[disneymom3]

Yes I am and yes they will.

And I can't say much more yet (I know that sounds cryptic and unsatisfying, and I'm truly sorry about that and anxious to be able to explain more fully.)

I for one appreciate you saying that Kathy. The silence on this topic has been too deafening and IMO fueling the fire.

I rarely post on the CB- however, I am missing a few friends from other boards-

There is one in particular who found out about 2 months ago that she has breast cancer, she had surgery and is now going through chemo and radiation. We were there with her when she went for her mammo, then the biopsy, and the phone call from the doc's office saying "we think you should come in to discuss the results".......

She would come to us for support, just to laugh or to vent... she doesn't have us to talk to now.......she made sure her DH would pop in once in a while to give us an update on her condition if she was not up to it....and he is gone now too

This is not a good time for her to be gone........

thank you for answering some questions WMK, as cryptic and unsatisfying as they are, you at least are taking the time to hear us.

Kathy, do you have any idea of a timeline on when we may hear something from the site owners/webmasters?

I can not speak for anyone but myself but my reaction to hearing that there is legal counsel involved is that I can not imagine what a huge percentage of those banned initially could have done that would require legal counsel. So many were not pot stirers or mud slingers in any way on any site, yet they are gone. So when I hear "legal counsel" I can't help but wonder if that is just a stall tactic or a scare tactic. I would hope that these people would have been told that _____ has happned, or even just that something has happened, and that legal counsel was being sought and that once they got to the bottom of things those not involved with whatever it was will be reinstated. I don't want to just jump to conclusions but so often in so many situations in life "you'll be hearing from my lawyer" is cover talk for "I don't want to talk about it and hopefully it will scare you out of asking further questions.

Thank you for being able to say that much.

Thank you for that little glimmer of hope.

I can't type what I feel right now. Had to backspace 100x's.
This just makes me so angry.

Any time frame on when this might happen???

 

[denisem]

I simply don't appreciate being treated like I'm stupid and unable to make decisions for myself (given ALL the "facts", of course.)

 

[Froggyswife]

Ok have to go get my beauty sleep Frog is looking at me sideways giving me that "COME ON WOMAN TIME FOR BED!" froggy look. You know that bug eyed, tounge hanging, eye brow raising look (sorry best I could do on the eyebrow thing). YEAH well gotta go! Hope to see you all tomorrow and that we may get some answers soon.

 

[Liberty Belle]

I agree.

I am another person who does not really have friends on the boards, so I'm not really sad exactly. I come here for a laugh, for political debates, for discussion and planning about WDW, to get some commentary on the day's news, etc.

I also sometimes skim the board-which-shall-not-be-named. Sometimes this provides more laughs, or cues me in to a ongoing discussion on the DIS which I have a strong opinion about. And sometimes I find things there which are rude and offensive. Whatever--I choose to read it and I have on occasion chosen to respond and if I don't like it I can choose to stop looking at it. And since the DIS rules don't apply there I can also go and tell people exactly why I disagree with them in adult language if I choose.

So I'm not sad or mourning friends or any of that. I'm just ticked off as a matter of principle. Who in the heck are the powers that be at the DIS to tell me (or anyone else) what I can and cannot say in places other than the DIS?

And on top of the issue of principle, it's just simply been amazingly boring on the DIS since the-event-which-will-not-be-spoken-of. So even from a completely self-interested point of view, I'm ticked that the boards are now so uninteresting (except of course for the threads that keep getting poofed).

That's the way I feel, too.

Thanks for the visual

[WebmasterMaryJo]

Has anyone tried contacting any of the mods? I have but just recently so I won't judge.

I guess that they probably can't say anything though.

Yes, and we can't. But I will say that I do care.

I'm so sorry, that's just horrible.

I just hate waste, and this at times seems such a waste. We want it to be better. Not just a bandaid fix.

I use to just be happy to read and not post. There isn't much to read now.
