Sooner or later this post will be moved to an appropriate forum, but for the starters here are some quotes that I've found. I'm not sure if you're looking for the exact words "change" and "progress" but these seem to fit the theme...

These are from The Quotable Walt Disney...

"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing."

"The only problem with anything of tomorrow is that at the pace we're going right now, tomorrow would catch up with us before we got it built."

"I believe in being an innovator."

"Television and the changes it has brought about in the motion-picture industry have provided an exciting new stimulus to our creative efforts." ...

"Ever since the beginning of wisdom, man has been fashoning a bridhter light and a stronger glass to help him probe deeper and deeper inot the marvels of nature's secret world."

These are from my college program...

"Ideas come from curiosity."

"Laughter is no enemy of learning."

"Whatever we accomlish belongs to the entire group, a tribute to our combined effort."

"You don't build it for yourself. You know what the people want & you build it for them."

"If you can dream it, you can do it."

Well there you go :D I hope some of these work out for you.

Wrong forum, pal.

Hyperion, the complaint here is that you stated that it was in the wrong place without offering any suggestions to the answer, or where the post should have been posted. It was therefore interpreted by many as being harsh and unhelpful.

Hyperion, your attitude here isn't at all in spirit with these forums. If you are going to act like this can I suggest you find another forum.
 
What have I done wrong? Everybody seems to THINK I had a bad attitutte, when I didn't. You cannot perceive somebody's attitude through text, and all I was trying to do was help. If there's a problem with me trying to help, then I simply don't understand these boards. I'm sorry for any trouble I've caused, but you must understand that I did not try to look for a fight with anybody, more over, I was trying to show Ryan his wrongs.

You appear to have bad attitude because of the WAY you say things in a text format. We obviously cannot say whether you actually have a bad attitude in person or not, BUT all we can do is to interpret what you TYPE. And pretty much everyone here is interpreting some of what you say as being rather unhelpful and harsh.

Example...
"Oh well. They'll have to live with it. "

That suggests to me that you are basically dismising what has been said to you, and that you dont care and are just going to carry on doing it. Whether that is true or not is not the point. The point is that it is perceived as being rather rude in a text only format.
 
And that is why I said I was "sorry for any trouble I've caused". ;) I really don't want to get into a fight with the owner of the site or with anybody at all. So let's just forget everything that happened here. :)

:animwink:
 
I did nothing wrong. I told him he posted in the wrong forum, which was correct, and proven. You simply thought I had a nasty attittude, which cannot be perceived through text, only assumed. ;)

Hyperion, if you have nothing constructive to say, you better not reply. I´ve seen your replies lately and they are all in the same tone. Please don´t do that and be nice to others. If this is not in the proper board, then let the moderators know so they move it. There is no need to point that out, there is nothing Ryan or any other member can do to move a thread that they posted in the wrong board. It´s the moderators duty. Before you jump over a member, check how acquainted they are with the boards... some don´t spend as much time on here as some of us do. ;)

I think there is a member of the forums who has a website with Walt Disney´s quotes... I don´t remember who or the website though... I wish I had bookmarked it! :( I´m waiting for him to show up and reply! :D

There is nothing here that say's anything about how I stated it, but it does talk about what I said. And what I said was correct. Your first post, however, does say what I was saying was rude or mean, which you perceived to be that way, and I don't understand how you can perceive anything through text. I could say, "I love you.", and while I'm typing it, I could be saying aloud, "I HATE YOU!". So before you think what I'm saying is rude or mean towards somebody else, ask me, don't jump to conclusions. What you should have said was, "That reply seemed rude, or mean." Not, "Your reply was rude and mean."

And just as you "were trying to let" me "know that there was a nicer way to say it", I was trying to let Ryan know that he had posted in the wrong forum. I should have told him what forum to place it in, and tell him that I didn't have any quotes, but I didn't, and I apologize for that.

Hyperion93 I agree with Maria
Some of your posts lately are telling people wrong forum.
First of all you are not a moderator and you are not Steve.
So don't sweat it
That's why certain people exist on this sight.
Let them do their job.
As for getting a read on tone from text pal.
What do you think pal inferred in my text.
It does come across as rude and only rude their is no other intepritation for the word in that context pal.
Next time someone post in the wrong forum let the right people handle it and all this unpleasentness can be avoided

Where did I say that your reply was rude in the post you quoted?
Be careful Hyperion, if there is the slightest doubt of your posts being rude or mean, people does notice. I would suggest you to use smileys too. We have been trying lately to avoid those kind of remarks when people post in boards that are not the "most correct" ones because our remarks can make people refrain from posting. In case you haven´t noticed, we are avoiding those comments because they, most of the times, come across as mean and we don´t want to be a mean group of "oldies" to the newbies (or anyone else). I was giving you an advice and I could "feel" your attitude mainly in your reply to Steve. Then... you apologized... :rolleyes:

I´m done with this thread. I want to thank DisneyCp2k for those quotes! I love quotes too! I hope someone posts more!
:)

I agree with you Maria there is more than one person on these forums that I have found to have an attitude and they should think before they speak meaning think of the other peoples feelings before saying the rude and mean things they say

the reason I said this not to be rude to you hyperion I was just trying to say that some people needed to think of other people and try and respond with regards to other peoples feelings and not in what would sound like a rude intimitating manor I am sorry that you dont see that I am sorry
 
I'm tired of this bickering. I'll believe, and say what I want, as long as it doesn't interfere with the rules of the boards.

Dude, GROW UP! you sound like a little brat who just got caught doing something wrong and now you do not want to take the blame for it. If people are trying to tell you that you have an attitude problem, maybe you should do a little thinking about why people are saying it, and try to make some changes instead of arguing.
