Well you obviously weren't the first one to come up with that idea.

I'm sensing a skunk and am backing away. Have a good day!

I smell a troll too.

Look, I get that you're upset because of something you heard, but please don't preach to the choir and insult me by acting as though you're giving me a PSA or that I need to be told how to behave. What the man said was crass, rude and just plain offensive, but I doubt anyone who participates on a WDW planning board such as the DIS would ever speak that way in front of a CM to begin with.

Telling us to behave better than that cretin is like instructing a nun how to dress modestly. Unnecessary, presumptuous and juuuuust a little bit offensive to tell you the truth.

As for 'spreading the word' and attempting to police the bad taste and horrible actions of other people, it's never been my policy to do that before and I'm certainly not going to spend my vacation policing other people's behaviors. That's one of the reasons I chose not to have kids.

I'm sorry you're upset, but your being upset doesn't give you license to tell other people how to behave. Vent away - hell, most of us (including me) will join you and agree that what that ******* said was rude, crude and unforgiveable. But you lose my sympathy when you entreat me to join your crusade to stop free speech simply because you didn't like what the other person was saying.

Oh, and I'm going to vote "unsure" on the poll because I really don't get the whole poll thing for this thread, either.

What she said...all of it.

some made a comment in poor taste - so what?

I really dislike attitudes like this. You cannot control what other people say, you can only control yourself and your reaction. If your kids overhear something inappropriate and take notice, you explain to them why it is bad and the 'correct' way to react.

Yes, what happened was tragic, but they were also running the monorails with the safety off, iirc. And how many visitors to the park do you think personally knew or interacted with those involved with the crash? Its easy to be less sensitive to an event that happened to someone who you don't know who is identified by their occupation. To most visitors, what is a tragic accident to the employees and friends and family of those involved, is just a monorail accident.

Not to mention everyone handles crises differently. Some make jokes, some cry for days. Just because someone makes a joke about a tragedy doesn't mean they don't care.

If you are a castmate, op, perhaps its time to look for another job if that event affected you this deeply and continues to do so after all this time.
