Can't wait for that one. I read the script over a year ago. Really good. Like Quentin's version of a drawing room mystery...only, you know...as a western set in a snow bound mountain store.

Hey, now...no need to get physical! ;) Anyhow, I think I still owe you a favor from like a decade ago...

Nonsense. If it were a hit piece, I could have gone about the whole thing a lot more harshly, with a lot more detail, and not even tried to keep the focus on the main issue which is Disney's questionable relationship with some "independent" shills/bloggers. I've been here nearly fifteen...

Since I started all this, I should probably chime in here. First, I applaud Jim for coming in and giving his side of the story. Gutsy move. I wonder if, had this not come out, would he have ever opened up abut it? Second, as I have stated numerous times, this was about a lot more than just...

Ok, I'll try to wrestle these two down... 1- Yes, it is kinda weird. - He committed fraud over and over and over again...until he was caught. - He plead down from more serious charges and he was given leniency by the judge. - He abused that and was jailed. - He not only has worked for Disney...

But he wasn't selling coke on Main St.

But there is more... He was sentenced to jail, to be served on work release, and probation. Later, he violated probation and was taken into custody. It seems he actually served at least 110 days in jail stemming from all of this. Maybe it's me, but I wouldn't want someone that I prosecuted...

That's the thing. I'm not trying to crucify the guy for crimes of the past. (Which, best I can tell involved scavenging for old bags and receipts which he could then match with an item to "return" to a merch location. Repeatedly. Theft which was pled down to a lesser offense.) I'm simply...

Oh, it was a bit more serious than that. There was jail involved. And only twenty years ago. Meaning that Disney has, knowing all of this, done business with him for twenty years.

Oh, it's him. In addition to the public records, I've got some info from someone who remembers when it happened.

Again, as I stated earlier, it isn't about what he did, or how severe it may or may not be. (Theft, battery, trespass, probation violations, etc. I know we aren't talking Fogle level crimes here.) It's about the fact that Disney today continues to associate closely with someone who they once...

Exactly.

But, the thing is...this discussion isn't just an attack on Hill, though it may seem that way. It's an attack on Disney's policy, or lack thereof, of associating themselves too closely to the lifestyler/blogger brigade. Folks like Brigante, Mongello, Lange and many others. A group which I'm...

Yeah....this is what happens when I get time on my hands. And interesting emails.

The details are a bit unclear to me, but it appears to involve repeatedly using receipts to fraudulently return merchandise. And there's some battery in there, too. And trespassing. And probation violation... The defense appears to involve a lack of "impulse control" or some such.

Oh, yes... Arrested, prosecuted, sentenced...the whole shebang. Time was spent as a guest of Orange County. He was trespassed from Disney property. Crimes were committed on Walt Disney World property. Crazy, huh? Surely this person is now persona non grata At Walt Disney World. Surely...

I'm going to interrupt the day's discussion of movies and whatnot to liven things up a bit. I've got a little something that should lead to some interesting discussion that is worthy of a Spirited thread. Imagine my surprise when I opened my email this week and found some rather startling...

His appearance will require an upcharge. 'Bout $69....

That was the plan. May still be. I haven't had an update one way or the other.

Yes, that name refers to a ride project.
