A neighbor of mine just lost a nine year old girl to cancer. I work with someone who lost a brother in Iraq. I have a lump in my throat that, so far, has not been diagnosed.
This forum, just like all things Disney, is for fun and escape. Fun and escape should be cherished. If you feel the need to be rude please find an appropriate place to do it, but not here.
Exactly. The whole point of this board, and actually the main point of Disneyworld, is escape. Fantasy. It's the same reason I read Rowling instead of Vonnegut, the same reason I watch Pirates instead of Schindler's List. The real world is scary, depressing, and serious enough. Anything that can take us away from that and make us feel better SHOULD be cherished.
Having said that, I, too, have been involved in rather heavy (possibly bodering on nasty) discussions on this board. That occurs when something said feels like it hits too close to someone's reality. It would serve us all well to remember why we're on these boards: not as a ing contest, but for fun and comraderie. I'm glad mkt brought this up: it should give us all something to think about (a little at least...).
