But you we're. You might not be under the impression that you were, or you may not consider that to qualify, but it does and you were. You were being rude and trash talking people based on their appearance, completely unprovoked. That's like... textbook definition.

Here' is the Websters Dictionary definition of bullying, as a verb, as most people from the 20th century use the word.

Bully: Use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants.

I'll just leave that there, and let my comments and criticisms earlier in this thread of the unknown YouTube vloggers stand. And let folks decide on their own if my comment on the 45 year old man who dresses like a 16 year old (fact) and his vapid date (apparent fact, although she may just be acting for the camera to try and create interest and cash donations) constitutes the real, factual definition of "bullying". HINT: What I did was criticize them to others without their knowledge, not bully them. Big difference.

As for her Botox, I know it when I see it. I've had Botox myself, but it was kind of silly and creepy looking so I let it grow out. Plus I live in Orange County, so I can spot a Botoxed woman from two aisles over at Target.

But I completely understand that there is now an entirely new generation of people who have re-invented words to mean different things than what the dictionary and traditional language defines those words. I won't pretend to try and keep up with what the verb bully means to some folks in 2018, I'll just stick with what it means in English and in the dictionary.

Ooh, that looks kind of neat!

I keep thinking the on-ride and aesthetic experience of Incredicoaster will be a big improvement over the non-existent storyline and weak effects of Californa Screamin'. Pixar Pier overall is still sketchy looking, but Incredicoaster is shaping up to be a really fun update to what was a weak E Ticket.

I really do not want to veer off topic, but the term you are looking for is cyberbullying

Cyberbullying: The electronic posting of mean-spirited messages about a person often done anonymously

As you've said many times you won't change the way you speak or write. When many people are bringing it up over several threads for years, there maybe something to it. You can dismiss everyone and says it's a new generation that doesn't understand the real world and all the other get of my lawn stuff. This is anonymous so you have no idea anyone's age unless they tell you. I'm not sure why you are so dismissive of people asking for others to be treated with respect.

I can quote any number of facts and figures on the effects of cyberbullying. How it starts with one critical comment and mob mentality takes over. As evidenced in this thread you could see a bit of that bandwagoning that was starting until a poster called it out. I can get personal too and talk about friends and people I knew who committed suicide over what started as a mean comment on a social media post and snowballed. There is a difference between criticism and insults. Too often society has turned to insults and stated it as criticism. I would implore anyone who thinks it is okay to insult others online to do research on it.

Also since you seem to be caught up on defining things, you apparently do not know what fact means. You have an opinion on someone's personal appearance.

Apologies for the thread drift. Lets get back to critiquing Paradise Pixar Pier.

since the very first stage, any who attempt to stand on it risk judgement...
in the way back times, such bubbly, inane babble was met with rotten fruit, so consider a particular person's mere words a marked improvement.

I'll be there Sunday, June 24th (day after it should open)...any reason to think they are not on schedule with opening Pixar Pier?

This is our first time ever going to DLR or DCA.

It this is your first time going to DLR there are far better things to do than Pixar Pier. See Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln before even stepping foot into DCA.

Pixar Pier is going to open on time, but the Inside Out attraction and Jessie carousel won't open until 2019.

Just curious- How many days are you spending and are you getting park hoppers.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I actually loved California Adventure. Not as much as DIsneyland, but I still loved it. When I went I spent 1/2 of my day exploring Cars Land and Buena Vista Street, and the other half riding Soarin', Toy Story, and a few other attractions.

As others said, it should be open on time minus two attractions. But I'm guessing 90% of people is really only interested in the roller coaster anyway. Either way, have fun! DL is of course a great park (if smaller compared to most of the MK parks worldwide) and DCA has come into its own. You can spend a day there easily now if you do everything. If you do DCA first make RSR and GOGC: MB your priority in terms of getting FPs as those goes first before the others and can be done by early afternoon.
