Yeah - Helenabear, Poohnatic, PoohandWendy, katerkat, Bob Slydell, kejoda, DisneyPhd, Aidensmom, MissJasmine, becka are just horrible people - scum of the earth. NOT! What about Snoopy/Junie Jay? One of the most popular mods/posters ever - banned!
We've only heard one side - Doc - and 36 people have been banned for no reason. Let's hear the other side.
I have spent 8 years on this board. I've established close friendships with many people. I've met several of them in real life. I exchange birthday and Christmas gifts with many.
When someone, even a poster I don't know, asks for prayer for a loved one - I actually bow my head at the keyboard and say a prayer right then and there.
I've watched posters grow from highschoolers and college kids to married people with children.
I've been online and became part of a thread when a fellow DISer was so down that he wanted to commit suicide and lots of us stayed up all night telling him that life was worth living.
I've checked the DIS anxiously awaiting news of a birth of a new DISer.
I always thought this was a family board -- sure we had our share of Crazy Uncle Eddie's and Weird Cousin Al's. Just like any family, I haven't always liked all members. Heck, yeah, I even detest a couple. But, like in RL, I tried to ignore the bad because the good was far more.
That's all changed. Someone took off my rose colored glasses and broke them.
The tide has been turning for a couple of years. The iron fist has been lowered time and time again -- for piss poor reasons.
If you don't share the "popular board view," you're in trouble. No, you're banned.
This entire banning situation was uncalled for -- and it's just a big old fiasco and obviously an embarrassment to the management and they are trying to sweep it under the table.
What a disheartening week for the DIS Community.
many of us feel this way
