I am not sure even where to begin. I've never seen a forum where someone goes in to defend someone else from that someone else's account, but having seen it I have to admit I find it quite childish. However, I did find it interesting, and I really do feel that the defense given really shows what is wrong in America today, and has been for years. Al Capone, from behind bars, would talk up how he helped the local economy, and talked about this being the thanks he got. Others have gone to the execution chamber still proclaiming that they were just defending themselves, when their tied-up victim who was stabbed in the back told a different story. You did admit that what you did was wrong, but then you tried to defend it. One of the things I will do when admitting something wrong that I did (and being a human being it happens much more often than I would like) I do not give excuses. I just say I am sorry and that I will do everything in my power to make sure it doesn't happen again. Trying to explain it away would then make me look weak and like I was defending my wrong actions, and I don't go for that.
Second thing... While I don't know the people involved, I do know that there are people very high up in Disney that monitor networking sites, especially ones that deal directly with the theme park industry as this one does. Especially with the angle that we sometimes take here at SGT, I am pretty sure that they monitor this site VERY closely. Is that a picture of you on your profile and under your name when you post? I would highly recommend changing it for a host of reasons. Many of us who do work in the Central Florida/California/Other theme park industry like our anonymity here, and I don't think any of us would post our pictures and then talk about how we are taking something from the company because "what they don't know won't hurt them." Just sayin'.
There are many of us that have rubbed each other the wrong way or said something that offended most of the people on this site before. Those that are willing to take their lumps and move on in the community are warmly welcomed, those who decide that the rest of us are wrong for having the same opinion about right and wrong end up leaving one way or another, often by the force of electrons that keep your IP address from being able to create a new account on this site. Which of those two classes you fit into is up to you. You will make that choice with your next few posts.
I know that Disney charges a lot for everything they give you. But that is how I have a job here, and how you will if you choose to play nicely on your College Program. It is with the money brought in by that food, those shirts, toys, those pictures that Disney pays me. I know I am not directly making any money for anyone by driving the Monorail. I like Disney being a profitable company, both as a Cast Member and a Stockholder.
One other thing, has to do with this "lame site". First of all, we do have a lot of well educated people here, with many of us working for places like Disney because we choose to. Many people here have retired from careers in which they were very successful, some with several degrees in several different fields of study. We have people here who have put their very lives on the line for their/our country/countries, and others who serve us on a daily basis, often in the background unproclaimed. I don't tell you this as a defense, but just to know who it is that you choose to try to insult (hint: in my hypnosis practice, "try" is a failure word, so when I say you tried I am not saying you were successful). Now, if you are too good for this site, that's fine with us... but please take your insults-as-a-form-of-self-defense attitude elsewhere, not because it hurts us but because we find it quite annoying. I don't care what you or your friend think of this site, and neither does anyone else that is already part of this established international community of friends. I take a tremendous joy and pleasure in meeting people from this site, and I know several people here personally. However, in your case... if this is what you are always like... I will pass.
If you choose to remain a member of this community, you gotta buck up. If you did something wrong, take the lumps and move on. Don't try (ooh, there's that "try" word that I love so much again) to defend what you did wrong. Learn and move on. If you are willing to do that, we won't count it against you.

My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?
