Even on the most innocent subjects, somebody starts an argument. They are trying to prove themselves more holy or politically correct than the other person, or trying to accuse that person of being prejudiced, homophobic, or rude to nursing mothers. I come here to share my opinions on all things WDW and read other's opinions on all things WDW, or share my experience with newbies who have questions about the park. I was even able to help a guy from England planning a trip by collecting the official guide maps of the local theme parks and mailing them to him. That felt good, to be able to help like that and share the magic. But this forum is not safe. On some forums, there is a moderator who makes sure to nip fights in the bud and discourage people from attacking others. I wish this forum was like that. It was a place to spend some time when I was bored and had nothing else to do, but now I think I'll let myself get bored rather than participate anymore.
There was a fun thread recently on strange things that happened in attraction queues that got hijacked by people getting mad and holier-than-thou at a person who didn't like the site of uncovered breast feeding in public. It's not exactly as though he/she said they accost such people and harrass them, they just didn't like it. I didn't post anything on the subject there, and some posters are requesting the thread go back to its original purpose, so I am posting here instead of there. Breastfeeding makes me feel creepy crawly, too. But I would never stare and never go up to the woman and ask her to stop. But even though I didn't remark about it on that thread, I felt like people were personally attacking me, because I don't find uncovered breastfeeding appealing. I must be some kind of monster, even though I give the widow down the street fifty dollars every month, like to greet strangers with a friendly "hello", give to homeless people at intersections, and avoid profanity. I try really hard to live by the words of Jesus and Saint Paul. But because I'm not into uncovered breastfeeding, I am evil and deserve to be chewed out by every other poster on this forum, who are all so much holier than me or the person who left the original message about not liking uncovered breastfeeding.
Say what you want, make me a running joke like Katiebug. Because I am leaving this forum, deleting my bookmark to it, and not reading any e-mails from threads I watched.
