Spirited News & Observations II -- NGE/Baxter

I hesitate continuing this any further but this has to be one of the flimsiest arguments I've seen.

In both those instances you referenced not once did they say he plays for or has ever played for the Mariners. Was he drafted? Sure and that's all those reporters reported on.

To answer your question, would he be wrong to say that he plays for the Mariners? Obviously. Look at his stats direct from MLB. Even if you squint I don't think you can find a mention of the Mariners included in his yearly stats.

Can't we pick a better player, might I suggest Taijuan Walker #totallymissingthepoint

According to the news, it sounded like the Marlins only had 17 fans in the stadium.

One of my favorite comments when they Marlins were pushing for a new domed stadium..."wouldn't it be cheaper to buy all 12 of their fans really nice umbrellas?"

Does Tony Baxter post here?

Jiminy Crickets! I don't have a blog, never had a blog, don't intend to have a blog........

But Boy do I despise that degrading phrase Mommy Blogger. The need to classify women bloggers, good or bad in a demeaning classification. Escalating the insults to a higher level and continuing the petty arguing. To what end is it necessary to now bring sexism into the bicker-fest?

Probably when Disney decided to fire up this:

So am I to understand correctly, that because Disney has a Mom's Panel that inherently makes it fair game to re-brand it as Mommy Bloggers?

Is that the point of linking me to the Mom's Panel or did I miss Disney Corp also being equally as derogatory?

That is Disney's official means of engaging a bit of a self identified group.

I'm not understanding your sentence. What is Disney's Mom's connection to your link you posted of the Mommies Network?

 

[wm49rs]

They're Mommies, and they're bloggers on Disney's own site. Nothing wrong with putting the two together....

Mommy Bloggers are a self identified group of people, moms who blog to give advice to other moms. There are Disney Mommy Blogs that are focused on Disney travel advice and, for some, living the "Disney lifestyle." The Moms Panel is Disney's attempt to move that realm closer to the Company line, with an official place for the advice to be sought and disseminated.

So am I understanding that the Mommies Network is owned and operated by Disney so that is the comparison to the the Mom's Panel?

Strangely, I think both of the following are true, and are not mutually exclusive:

Mommy Blogger is a self-identifying name
Mommy Blogger is a demeaning, sexist term used to dismiss as irrelevant hobbyists those female bloggers who post about WDW from the perspective of practical family travel.

If one accepts both are true, then we can all be friends!

 

[Gabe1]

So what is a man called that blogs about Disney? Or a man that gives advice? We have plenty here justifying Mommy Blogger as acceptable, I'm curious what we should call the men.

Converting the Disney's Mom's Panel to be equal to Mommy Bloggers to me anyhow is demeaning and I am failing to understand the need to rebrand the Mom's Panel to Mommy Blogger. Any adult that has referred to me as Mommy has never done so as a compliment, it is condescending.

Quarterly profits dont build an audience that keeps coming back; high quality attractions do.

Indeed.
Some folks at the Company need to re-read this.

He reads certain threads i have been told.

I think Mommy Blogging is stupid, but am not, as a woman, offended by people using the term.

See I do find it sexist and offensive and I agree stupid. But in fairness I do not rebrand people because of their gender, sexual orientation, race or religion either.

Men are part of the Mom's Panel and I guess would fall under the Mommy Blogger label. You're having trouble because you have the chronology backwards. Mommy Blogging came first. The Moms Panel is Disney's attempt to enter the world of Mommy Blogging.

In regards to the term "mommy," it likely is being used in a cute, somewhat juvenile manner even by those you self identify with the term. But I think it also relates to the juevenilzation of American culture. The term "Mommy Blogger" has become demeaning in the theme park community more, in my opinion, because of the lack of genuine content that goes beyond what is offered by Disney.
