News Expose reveals WDC control in online fan community

[Nubs70]

Whatever happened to PhotoDave?

Last seen at Wawa getting into a car with a Philly cheese steak in hand then speeding off to the north.

I thought JT was Iger?

Oh heck if I can keep it straight anymore.

Sips tea. Anyone else got anything drastic to announce?

This drastic enough?

GuyBehindTheCastle - WHAT?!

Can someone please explain what is going on with this CM? I just spent the last hour reading horror stories on social media. What?!!??

Nothing except Disney's hostile takeover of CBS/Viacom to be announced as the "secret project" at D23.

Justin Timberlake?

Never heard of this guy, but it sounds like I was better off not knowing.

I still don’t know who it is about, but it seems to be something serious.

He is still active on Twitter.

What’s his Twitter?

 

[Nj4mwc]

That was not the issue. The issue according WDWmagic was Ford threatened to sue him over how the board is being moderated and left with no choice, but to ban him.

You can sue over board moderation. That seems ridiculous

I summon @MisterPenguin to make a Conspiracy Rumor and Timeline Tracker since none of us can keep any of this straight.

And if there is a silver lining to this thread/debacle, it’s that a very different and diverse group of members have come together to talk about something. I most often find myself discussing topics with the same small cohort of people. Nice to see everyone out and about for a change.

From what I remember, he moved out of the Orlando area to return North. Without being an AP and visiting frequently lost interest.

As said already, still active on Twitter under a similar name.

He should have hired the dude Spirit and Brother Spirit hired to sue over the hotel kerfuffle.

I'm sure some really creative plaintiff's attorney could come up with grounds for such a suit, but off the top of my head I can't think of any applicable cause of action. I'm also pretty sure whatever they came up with would be dismissed by any competent judge for frivolity.

EDIT: If someone was being actively harassed and the moderators knew about it and didn't do anything to stop it, then there might be some grounds for a suit -- although I'm not sure what kind of damages they could realistically claim. I assume that is not the scenario here.

I'd just like to throw out there that sometimes I have different user names in different places because what I was planning to use was already taken. So unless the guy from micechat knew for sure that it was the same TP posting on both sites, putting out any of his information is completely wreckless. Even if sure it was the same person on both sites and he shared a name with someone, then you have to dig a little deeper. I don't know any of these people personally but this comes to mind:

So let’s not forget that this isn’t the first time the Snyder boys have assumed they had the goods to take Iger and others at Disney down. They frequently over play their hand.

I believe about half of all of this is correct. I’m just not sure which half.

Also. I totes thought that @the.dreamfinder was flirting with me in the private messages so I’m surprised to learn he is a Snyder boy.

I may have gotten confused but isn't one of them suppose to be gay ?

 

[pdude81]

TP2000 didn't jump on immediately he was lurking for hours intermittently and only appeared when people goaded him to, and then he came up with a story denying it all and then another user outed him as a being a fraud and WDC employee and his recent messages are telling people to essentially 'move on and forget about it all'.

The most important question since "Who does #2 work for?":'

Sounds like you could have married into money!

 

[trainplane3]

Yikes, seriously!?

Apparently legal threats. I missed the thread but the mods didn't take kindly to it. I'm going off of what users were saying the day after it happened. He went past his usual negative rants and (apparently?) got huffy about free speech and threatened to sue. That's a no no on any forum.
