Do YOU have a source for that claim, or are you just jumping on the feces flinging bandwagon?You guys realize that he stopped posting here because he lost his source, right?
I'm just curious to hear Spirit's thoughts on the Disney/Fox merger that just happened two days ago. Along with Peter Doctor to lead Pixar, and Jennifer Lee for Walt Disney Animation that was announced last Summer.
I'll have to dig the posts up, but in his most recent handfuls of posts he did comment on both.I'm sure he would have only nice things to say about the merger and everyone involved.
No surprise on Peter Doctor and Jennifer Lee being elevated to basically replace John Lasseter. And they are absolutely the right people for those positions. Pete because he is a legend in his field and has earned it. Jennifer because she is highly talented, not a Burbank lifer and, yeah, directed that little Frozen film. You will not see a drop off in quality under these two at all.

Cmon- agree-disagree- he always had an interesting take!Why?
Eh. No more interesting then any anonymous internet person.Cmon- agree-disagree- he always had an interesting take!
Spirit was asked by the mods to concentrate his musings in a single place. So that touchy princesses like you wouldn't risk getting triggered by reading him.He had his own private thread protected by the mods. He used that platform to spew all types of hate with immature name-calling. And in thanks, he kept breaking forum rules by bringing up politics.
Troll.
*74 criticizes Disney
*People criticize 74 for being critical
Its the same as people complaining about the complainers.
In all fairness, it goes both ways. You get labelled "doom and gloomer" or "purist", if you so much as suggest that Frozen deserved more than a shoehorn or that New Fantasyland lacks substance.My criticism of him was that if you didn’t agree with him exactly, you were a rose colored glasses wearing pixie duster.
And to the person above who pointed out some other people who have since disappeared, there’s definitely a name or 2 on that list that I don’t miss either.

He was trolled? He had his own private thread protected by the mods. He used that platform to spew all types of hate with immature name-calling. And in thanks, he kept breaking forum rules by bringing up politics.
His inside scoops, when they were right, were accompanied by rabble rousing whipping up the mobs into a frenzy.
He derided these groups as being incapable of seeing things the right way:
So, who was left to hold the right opinion? Himself. Anyone who disagreed fell into an ad hominem group.
- the vloggers who were comped (and he was angry he wasn't comped) and packed special events (he was the source of the idea there are thousands if not tens of thousands of media taking away spots from regular guests)
- main stream media who only said nice things about Disney because Disney was constantly threatening them
- lifestylers, who are always in the parks (meanwhile, he's a DVCer who visits international parks a lot)
- anyone in the corporate structure of Disney who are only motivated by money
- superfans (i.e., pixie dusters) who couldn't see anything wrong
- current imagineers who couldn't do anything right like the old masters could
- ordinary guests because they're clueless
We have other insiders who have been wrong at times... they don't get trolled (except for the small handful of dolts who don't understand the difference between inside info and rumors). They don't get trolled because they themselves don't act like giant trolls.
And when he was wrong, he almost never admitted it, and he never apologized. He was exactly the same type of people he most railed against: The Other Vlogger and The Politician whom he hated so much. But, same mold.
Remember how DHS's SWL was going to be "years" after DL's? Then he had to say that by "years" he meant "one year". And he said it was going to be that late because Disney can't do anything on schedule, which was simply his assessment? And then when it was clear that wasn't going to be the case he blamed his bad info on a bad source forgetting he specifically said it was his opinion?
And how's his blog coming along he said he was going to create, because, we all know one thing about Spirit: how much he hates bloggers.
Troll.
The thread opener, WDW1974, an account by a guy named Tom Corless.I'm new here. Who is this infamous poster, and where can I read all this juicy chatter???
But Spirit's thoughts made some of his reading entertaining making some of the forum discussions interesting.Well said. Personally I enjoy these forums more without all of the drama that came from folks either idolizing or condemning him
