I am so upset about them taking away the beautiful fountain. The many years that my Dad has taken pictures of Mom and I in front of the fountain and also in front of Mickey and Minnie before Disney moved them up top in the store. I always imagined me taking pictures of my children in front of that fountain as my Dad did to me. I'm sure there are people that can say "It's just a fountain." Well guess what....it's not just a fountain. It's a landmark of the Polynesian that has been such a iconic part of the Resort. It's a place where many families have taken pictures together. It's a place where you can sit down, look at it, and relax. With the sounds and the smell of it gone, it's just going to be a normal resort for me. I know that I will always have the pictures and memories to treasure, but to know that I will never be able to make more memories at the Polynesian is just heartbreaking. Maybe I am overreacting, but that's how I feel.

Discounting fan outrage because it doesn't match up to real world outrage is pretty much apples to oranges. This is our hobby, we're allowed to feel how we want. We care about the company, it's justified. Saying otherwise is just attempting to stifle an opinion, which honestly isn't appreciated.

He never said you aren't allowed to feel or discuss it (another over the top leap by people like Andy C) - he said the info out there was wrong and hinted at some people need some balance. A comment that is far too true if you follow this 'community'. I mean, I spend a lot of time on forums.. but these twitter feeds are disturbing... and I've been in online communities for 30+ years.

In any case, what kleyla said wasn't bad. It was how he said it. What's up with dangling information over people and basically stringing them along? Don't say anything at all. Do your job. Make the Poly great. End of story. The ego stroking is disgusting.

Sometimes the peanut gallery needs a reminder they don't actually know everything. And what we have here is simply the peanut gallery lashing back because they got called out.

Because I watched the topic when it happened :) It was brought up again tonight as the circle of experts discussed WDI employee behavior in social media.. because armchair critics are always the most pure and correct people out there. Honestly, nothing to worry yourself over. Just a circle of people getting huffy because someone basically said "you don't know what you are talking about"

Oh that is bad. I think someone else is getting bullied on Twitter that @PhotoDave219 knows but I could tell he didn't want to go into it on the forum....it's Disney for crying out loud, what's with all the haters?

I for one cannot stand the twitter idiots anymore. They just seem to think they're entitled and act like the cool kids in high school. They're pretty much all making up for being outcasts when they were teenagers. It's not even sad, it's pathetic.

@************ has basically been encouraging people to harass Kleyla and is now taking suggestions on who to go after next. This fandom is so classy.

Please if you can, pm me the culprit. Just out of curiosity I'd like to know who the bad guys are.

Yeah, but it's worse on twitter. You have these people just circling... waiting for the slightest thing.. then they jump on it like someone just kicked your child in the head.. and then circle and pump each other up on just how wrong it was... and then act like they won or something if they've convinced a few of their buddies to pile on too. A few bad apples combined with apparently way too much free time and the ability of the internet to get these birds of a feather together exaggerates their behavior. And like you see in this thread, some of them, or people who watch them, buy in and want to expand the drama envelope... instead of just letting them huff and puff in the corner while everyone turns their back to them.

One the more pathetic children is linking to this thread now. It's sort of funny they're pouncing on the peopleft when they're just jealous of the jobs that they can never have because, well, they're not good enough.

I'd like to know what info is wrong. Are they not ripping out the Poly waterfall?
Because if they are, it's (in my mind) an indefensible position, and shows a clear disconnect with their audience.

And if Surrell is in a war of words with someone here, he must have an account. What's his user name?

That wasn't the point of contention.. his tweet was about the REASONS behind the changes. What specific claims he was speaking towards he did not highlight. Hasn't stopped a few from taking claim to being the focus of the tweet tho... some will never miss an opportunity to make something about themselves.

Okay, thanks for the cliff notes version.

Answers a lot of questions.
