I personally find this to be a really bad thing for a discussion board. I'm a free speach kinda girl. I'm just thinking that I will be spending less time on this site over all since I won't be able to express said thoughts and opinions and nor will I be able to read about differences (which I really do enjoy learning about)
I'm just not sure what the goal of removing this kind of discussion all together will be achieved in a grand sense.
Bottom line, to the sponsors of this site, I think they may lose customers hits.![]()
Awww....that's so pretty, it deserves to be seen again!![]()

Cant disagree with you more! Politics and religion have no place here as far as serious discussion is concerned. I read some of those threads that were started during the elections, and some of those people were being total narrow minded a s s inine fools! There are many places to discuss those topics amongst people who wish to do so and are ready to be flamed when they express their opinions. Hate to say it, but many on these boards are not open to to any other views but their own and are quick to condemn anyone who doesn't share those particular views. Both you and I have experienced this on OUR thread, although maybe not on these particular issues. But we confronted those that were trying to bully us, for lack of a better word at the moment, and MANY of them no longer post on our thread because we refused to conform to THEIR views and opinions. I'm a free speech kinda guy too, so its a shame they had to ban any of these topics.But some people just refuse to let others express their views. It was open season for those who love to squash the opinions of others on those threads. This is a Disney discussion forum , where do politics and religion fit in? Agree with the mods on this one, these two topics bring out the visciousness and hatred in some people.
Monica, sounds like you need some of these yourself:Sorry I was MIA over the week & weekend (I did try 2 times but couldn't get on). Rough week & weekend - didn't go see Davy Jones at Epcot - just couldn't get out of the house.
I did do some work around the house &, so not a total waste of a weekend.
I booked myself flights today to go to Turks & Caicos for the weekend of the 4th of July (2 nights). Can't wait to park my behind in a chair on the beach, with a yummy refreshment & a book (then stare out at the water....kind of what I did while Jackie & I were sitting in front of the Cove Cafe on PVR day).
to all of you that need it

That's what counts the most!HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARILYN
It isn't pretty but it is original![]()
Darn!!! I was having such a good time playing games and chatting, that I didn't take any pictures at the meet! OOPS!! Guess we'll have to wait for Ken and Shannon to get back up to the Great White North eh!
Yup, we all play nicely together here!You just like to disagreeYou are so back and forth in this statement. You and I are best of friends and I don't even know what you think about religion
I do know some of your political views because we have discussed them here. I personally love that we can do that. If people don't like what we talk about they just don't post about it.
That's what counts the most!
Good to see you on here Gaylean!![]()
You've been missed....it's been too quiet around here! I've had to chat with myself too much!Hi. I'm glad to be back![]()

Oh, so that's why my ears were burning!I thought about you last Friday night. Just ask Ken and Shannon, we spoke about it during the meet![]()
Whashappening, eh?
Dismeet joke
Just a quick post to remind myself I am back on page 49 and to check in with everyone.
We are on the road. We just called it quits for the night in Lodi, CA (Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi, again). Will get up and get moving again the morning. Hoping to make it to Seattle for tomorrow night. Wanna try and hit the Mt. St. Helens visitors centre and a few of the outlet shopping centres along the way. That should also get us home on Tuesday night perhaps.
Just want to give a shout out to Gaylean who planned a terrific Dismeet!!
You done did good girl!
Shannon and I had a great time and it was certainly a hilight of the entire trip! Unfortunately pics will have to wait until we get home.
We were in DL until 4pm today and then hit the road so we are bushed. Shannon and the kids are already asleep and I will be joining them in a matter of minutes.
Night all.
Morning Deborah and Marilyn. And I guess this will be a "HAPPY BELATED Birthday" to Marilyn! It's 11:54pm here so technically I got it in on time!!![]()
Oh, so that's why my ears were burning!![]()
Uh oh.....I hope you were all saying good things!![]()

I don't know. I have mixed feelings, mainly because it doesn't really surprise me mainly because I thought that already was the policy. I guess I just don't get out much the DIS. I really don't frequent threads other than this one and my other two cruises.
Not sure why. Probably a matter of time and interest.
So, to come back to the original point, I thought that this was already the policy. I wasn't aware that people discussed politics on this board, though I have had a few semi-political rants myself.
I rather agree with both of you.
Nan - because interpretation and enforcement of such rules can often become subjective and sometimes lean towards capricious.
Bubba - because some people, while entitled to their views, can become rather nasty. Sometimes this can bring out the worst of human nature.
And now ... off to work (in an non-political and non-threatening manner you understand)
