Maybe the poll should be titled, "Thank you PMLers for helping support a site that I enjoy but am not able to contribute to at this time" or "Thank you Steve for opening your site to all Disney lovers whether they are financially able to support it or not". Not to offend members that are not financially contributing, they may contribute in other ways. Just a thought . . . :lookaroun

Leave Dan Alone. If you didn't like his question then don't respond. Don't try and tell him how to title his posts. JUST DROP IT.

You just keep proving his original point. It's funny to me some of you don't realize it.:lol:

Your poll says PML members, period.

I can't for the life of me figure out how this poll could satisfy a curiosity and do nothing more.

The thing is, almost anybody here could join the PML if he or she wanted to. It's $5, not $50. Do I care who joins and who doesn't? No. Everyone has his priorities. You might be better off spending your money elsewhere and that is fine. But those of us who spend it here should not have to defend our position just because you apparently have a beef with a few of us. If you have a problem with certain people, please don't lump them together with everyone else in the PML. That's all I'm saying. There is no way any good can come of that.

I didn't say all the PML notice that, also I didn't say I always felt like that either, or is it either. And, by no means was this to "be hurtful" or "cause strife". It was a simple question based on things I have encountered IN and OUT OF the forums. Simple as that.

Also, saying insuating that I was trying to prove something with my poll is odd, I was simply asking a question that I thought could be better answered by more than the 5 or 6 people I talk to on a regular basis.

Please...Forgive me for being curious

Let's see, I have started over a year after you joined and you have yet to welcome me to the boards. I did not join as a PM but became one afterwards. That doesn't make you or I a bad person, we just have not met. I didn't prejudge you so don't prejudge others.

It sounds as if your issue is rude people that happen to be a PM. From my experience, people only become rude on this site when provoked or trolls are ID and looking for trouble.

I'm not sure how you would think people would not take offense to this poll. You are attacking people. take your issue to the individual and don't make a general remark. If a thread is offensive to you, report it to Steve or PM that person. Posts can be taken out of context because it's a post and doesnt have facial expression.

Why would you risk alienating yourself by posting something like This. That post was trying to divide people on this site, which will not happen.

There are people that know each other on this site better then other members. This goes for everyone on this site. Some people have gotten to know each other by outside attivities or frequent posts. You shouldn't take offense because you haven't built that relationship with everyone. Try building the relationships and post meaninful thoughts. This poll is not the way to do it

There is no way PM looks down on other members.

Whoa whoa whoa... Have I been waiting for this!! What Dan is trying to say is basically written ALL OVER this thread. You attack members who you THINK just might be a "troll" and I've seen many instances where perfectly normal/credible members were driven away because of the unfriendly welcome they're given. As he said in his intro, it wasn't everyone that's a PM, it's certain members. And believe me... if you want me to list names, I will do just that. I'm not afraid of getting talked about behind my back. I have met quite a few members off this board face-to-face, therefore, they know I mean no harm and that I'm not a bad guy. It's these repeat offenders that give PM's and this board, even, a bad reputation. Reporting threads doesn't seem to help, either. All I'm trying to say is to stop bashing Dan's opinion because it's actually a valid one. How about instead of attacking this member, you PM's attack the members that gave Dan this impression. And as I said earlier, I'm sure you ALL know who they are. And, BTW... you make yourself look guilty when you act so defensively. ;)

A good point to remember (thanks Computer Magic), is that roughly 60% of communication is non-verbal, and due to the very nature of an Internet message board, that is a lot to lose.

Things can get misconstrued very easily.

Nice bit of singling out there. I think I remember the worst culprits for this being standard members last time round.

1. The biggest "troll-hunter" on this board is not even a PM.

2. I have never had a problem with Dan. I don't like seeing one group (any group) being lumped together and labled. Being a part of this particular group, it's natural that I should get defensive. Maybe I'm one of the bad ones- maybe I'm not. I have no idea who he is talking about so I can't really act on that.

I do know that I have expressed concern over excessive "troll-hunting" in the past. PMLers can conduct a search themselves. Everyone else will just have to take my word.

That's the thing... it's not just Dan that thinks it. It's your fellow PM's and others alike. Dan just had the guts to say something about it. "Troll hunting" isn't the only problem, it's only a part of it.
