I really don't want to dwell on this topic, because it's just not that big of a deal, so I'll drop it after this. I guess I don't see a big difference in you posting something for the entire world (that reads this site) discussing someone based on a tweet, when that person may not even be aware that WDWmagic exists or that they are being discussed, and someone going to a private channel, be it PML or PM, to discuss something you (or anyone else) has posted to the entire world. They are both discussions about a message posted to the general internet public at large, being discussed in a venue that they are not privy to.
Like I said, I had no problem with "fun with tweets" or anything else of the sort, so neither one bother me. I assume that if I were the slightest bit interesting that folks might decide to talk about me in some other venue. Heck they might be doing it right now.

The reason I even brought this up at all is because of the following. To quote part of a post I posted in the aforementioned PML this morning:

I've seen how easy statements become "fact" once they've been repeated enough out there. What's the current cost of NextGen? Eleventy-billion dollars? I don't want the PML, which is filled with good people who love Disney and love this site enough to spend money to help support a website that most people use for free, to become synonymous with some form of gang of people who think they are better than everyone else and sit around doing nothing but trashing everyone who doesn't have "premium" under their name. It's just not the truth of the matter.

Just don't tell them about the free churros and Gravy that's handed out!

Thoughts on today's news the Fox is chasing TW? I hate to admit that it makes @PeterAlt almost prophetic, I would not have assumed TW was going to be consumed.

The power of a Fox + TW+ DWA would be quite the competitor to Comcast and TWDC. I wonder if the DIS board is considering getting out the checkbook one last time with Iger. (Bewkes would be a decent Iger replacement).

Personally I think that TWDC needs more 'adult' non-sports cable assets. Starz, AMC or Discovery and I don't think that pursuing Sony Entertainment or Viacom makes sense.

As usual, I must point out that even though I used your post as a jumping point, the opinions that I stated are not necessarily completely connected to it. They are my opinions of things that in some cases agree with what others post or in some cases disagree with them.

In this case, I don't see what Disney can do about a social problem that would be concrete enough to make everyone just feel all warm and fuzzy. To say anything they either have to say that, yes, we recognize the problem, we know it's happening and we have no solution. That, in affect, will say that they ignored a problem that they knew existed thus deliberately exposing the public to a risk. At best it would sound like they are just wildly defending themselves. If the say that it doesn't exist, it appears that they are hiding their head in the sand and are deep in denial. They cannot win with any approach.

Since the fact is that currently they are not directly implicated in any wrong doing other then happening to have a few employees that are secretly less then upstanding citizens, there are no charges to be answered. What would they say? They cannot head something off at the pass, that isn't even heading in that direction. And even if they did, they are smart enough to not say anything that can be misinterpreted and cause them problems later.

Common sense has to be applied to this, so far all that has come out is that a specified number of employees have been implicated in an off-site, private display of wretchedness. There were more then just theme park employees caught in the sting. Why is it that the only ones we heard about are the theme park employee's. Where did the rest of them spend their day. Why, if there was any reason to be overly concerned were the rest of the businesses that they worked for are not listed in the same manner. If none of this happened on the job, then what we are talking about is something that people do in their personal life. Something that the companies that they work for have absolutely no control over and more then likely no knowledge of.

Well I wake up every morning. I get out of bed. I put both feet on the floor and I stand probably in my room and shop the heavens "I hate churros."

Mostly because there's Always a giant line for the cart in Frontierland that sells those as well as pretzels and for whatever reason people seem unable to order churros in a hurry when I am starving and want my pretzel now.

Churros aren't bad if you chase them with a white bronco...:hungry:

Pretzels are surprisingly easy to make at home, give it a whirl and never buy them there again :)
