No it isn't
Yeah, I think you got my point. It wasn't the topic that was causing issues.

We all need to stop assuming that the word ignorance or it's other slightly different variation is an insult. Ignorance means lack of knowledge on a specific topic. If you say that someone is an ignorant butt head, that is an insult. If one says that one is ignorant of how cars work it is just probably just saying that they don't have a knowledge of automotive workings. That's not an insult nor should it ever be thought of as that. However, with all that said it probably would have been less likely to be misinterpreted if they had said that someone is not knowledgeable about the subject being discussed and don't want to be.I suppose it could also mean someone would prefer not being forced to have a conversation they have no interest in and then be insulted because they feel that way or because they "don't want to have a better understanding".
Ignorance? No. Lack of interest or opinion one way or another? Most likely.

I don't really know either. I mean, I know what I was thinking when I posted, but the common values are no longer what they once were.In all honesty, I am not sure America has a clearly defined or shared culture anymore. Honest question, what is Americana in 2022?
That's a good way to do it. In reverse, the loss of customer service and high-quality upkeep is noticeable. I really like Universal and admire how far it's come over the past 10 years. It'd still need 20 years of consistent improvement even to approach Disney, though.We tried it. Started at Uni then moved to WDW to finish our trip.
I had never been happier to set foot on WDW property than that. Just relaxing at the resort simply felt sublime. I wouldn’t have needed to attend a park to enjoy myself more than I did at Universal (though Hagrids and Velocicoaster were great and Toothsome was yummy, the experience is more than just the sum of its parts).
I do really still appreciate this forum (which is why I’m a sponsor) though I do miss some of the old insiders
Well, I legitimately forgot this thread existed until I logged back in to look at the Kona Cafe thing. So, that speaks volumes. To be fair, I am having life stuff at the moment. Anyway, Mr. Penguin has started a remarkable thread about data that lacks my editorializing. So, that might work better for you than a conversation with me.For someone who's only interested in "data and facts", you sure do like to editorialize. It's clear you're reading my posts selectively, so unless you choose to reply in better faith this will be my last time responding to you.
I think 408 posts in the thread about nobody posting is equally as interesting as 20k viewsActually? It wasn't about people VISITING. It was about people POSTING.
It's fine, not causing any problems Feedback is good.Requesting Thread deletion. It appears that my question has caused problems with the admins. I do not want problems.
Okay, I'll give you one more:Well, I legitimately forgot this thread existed until I logged back in to look at the Kona Cafe thing. So, that speaks volumes.

But yeah, in reviewing the thread, you would have genuinely lost me at "buzz inside the company" as a reply to a request for objective data. That's not something that passes the laugh test. We're probably not going to have any great conversations if that's your basis for conclusions.
We don't know each other, but I'll say with complete sincerity that I'm a facts guy, not someone who gives gossip credence. There was a recent example of the reportedly updated Lightyear attraction on a site that doesn't vet well that shows how easily gossip turns into "buzz inside the company." So, that's not a game I like to play. I'm more about what's actually happening based on what can be demonstrably proven.
I genuinely wish you well and regret that we couldn't have better conversations. Cheers.
I didn't miss it. I drew a diametrically different opinion from you. Disney isn't fixing anything. It's reducing its legal responsibility because the program has sold so well. It wants consumers to lessen expectations about what they'll get. Businesses only do that when they know customers will buy the product anyway.Okay, I'll give you one more:
You completely skipped that Disney is taking actionable steps to change the program you're hailing as a "blockbuster".

Question answered, based on general member behavior . I do not wish to make a problem WORSE .
Yeah, you’ve hardly been polite.I didn't miss it. I drew a diametrically different opinion from you. Disney isn't fixing anything. It's reducing its legal responsibility because the program has sold so well. It wants consumers to lessen expectations about what they'll get. Businesses only do that when they know customers will buy the product anyway.
And again, that's not a data point. That's a subjective evaluation you're using after I asked for a data point.
Also, I should confess that I barely even skimmed your last two posts. So, you're expending a lot of effort here on a subject where I already invited you to engage with someone whose debate style may fit better with your own. I say that politely.
Really?Whoa, whoa, hold on… these boards are based in the UK? I’ve been reading them for much more then 15 years and was completely oblivious to that fact! It actually explains quite a few things.
I’m not bragging about my astuteness here but… why the heck would I have ever read that?

Anyway, it sheds new light on a few things, but ultimately these remain the best Disney message boards on the net, regardless of where they are based.
Must say I am also very intrigued! I'm also not American (nor British) and I've always known where the site was based, but I've never noticed anything identifiably British about how it was run!I’m intrigued. What does it explain or shed light on?
What words get censored.I’m intrigued. What does it explain or shed light on?
Good point.What words get censored.
A synonym for cat doesn't get censored, but the synonym (in the U.S.) for one's derriere which fills in: ______ pack, does. The different sides of the Atlantic differ as to which is a vulgar term for a Lady's private part.
