Yep!!

Yep, it's obvious from reading the last few posts that there's some real sickos here...

The tone here sometimes reminds me of the SNL skit with one announcer saying, "Jane, you ignorant...."

LOL!

There's a couple of people that always get my blood boiling when education comes up and I will grump to DH about it.

He always laughs and says, one day we'll probably meet at Disney World and strike up a lovely conversation without ever even know our alteregos!! And he's probably right!!

We all have things we feel passionate about...but I agree that debate can be respectful.

I don't know about sickos, but I think my internet browser is broken. It always ends up on your threads. I've been on the phone with Microsoft for hours, and they don't understand what I'm talking about. It has to be a bug. I googled low cost airfare, and I ended up on this thread!

I so resemble that remark. I really have no idea why, but I think I should be so offended. I think that we need to talk about the intestinal bug that I was fighting this afternoon...

I think that the "tone" generally depends on the topic being covered. Political or other "controversial" threads can certainly get heated (and I've been guilty of that myself, as I'm sure people would hasten to tell you ). But the "fluff" threads usually stay pretty genial, and sometimes pretty hilarious.

Plus, you have to realize that a lot of the posters on this board have been around for quite a while, and have a history together. Sometimes, that history is good, and sometimes not so much. That can lead to some pretty "out-of-the-blue" comments on seemingly random threads.

Just take the comments for what they're worth. As much as we are a "community" here, just like any community we have our share of cranky ol' farts ( ) and super sweet nice folks ( also , depending on my mood ). It's the mix of the two that make this one of the great boards on the internet.

Don't let it get to you!! I have met great people on line. I have made the best of friends. Some people like to "debate" what day it is. If thats their thing so be it.

Don't let it get to you!

For the record, today is Monday.

Why don't you "run" out and get me one?

Nice post, wvrevy.

I agree with the OP. I was accused of being too self-righteous when I said something kind and was not critical of a post about being injured at WDW. That bothered me a lot, basically the name calling and when the poster used the word "hate" when writing about my post. Ouch! I thought about boycotting the boards but then I realized that 99% of the people here are great. They may not agree with me about this or that but they are respectful.

Don't give up, ignore the few to enjoy the many!

Oh, yes, exactly...
