And some people here have obviously never been to the boards(s) that I have experienced....This is the second time I have said that, if I were any more specific, I would have to say the actual names, and that is not gonna happen. so PLEASE trust me when I say that there are boards with the kind of people that I have described in my previous post.
I know what I am talking about.

Again, not necessarily. I personally have never even been to that board.Fitswimmer wrote:It may not, but I agree with Goofy-it's pretty clear which "board X" is being slammed with the greatest frequency.

Re: Enlighten me.
I'm a full time CM, and I frequent both this board and "board X". I would stand up for this board there, and I'll stand up for that one here.delsdad wrote:Some of them are! :cheshire: :figment: And he's even a front line CM!
This board could just as easily be slammed as clique-ish and those of us who post and read here considered "un-Disney" by people who don't understand it's true purpose.
I agree with those who suggest that "board X" threads should be left where they are and not even brought to this board. If people want to read what SG's are saying on other boards, we can always take our own initiative and head on over to them.
Re: Enlighten me.
How about not standing up for this board anywhere and maybe the trolls will stop coming here or dragging us into their crap?Fitswimmer wrote:I'm a full time CM, and I frequent both this board and "board X". I would stand up for this board there, and I'll stand up for that one here.

We know who we are...kinda. They have a good idea who they are...mostly. And I say vote with your clicks (mouse), if you want x, y, z..go where ever it is.
The part that is the funniest is that any one could think a group of CAST MEMBERS could be un Disney. I think we are realists that work in 'Fantasyland' but are fully grounded (mostly) in the irony of where we work and sometimes (need more time) play.
The funniest and sorriest (is that a word) encounters I have on an almost hourly basis are those SGs who try to "out Disney me". Seriously? You wanna be all sarcastic ..."You didn't say Welcome Home!", "you aren't smiling!", and that crap and you expect me to be all pixie dust in reply? You get courtesy...politeness....and none of the extras hon.
Yeah, I should be smiling while I an running an emerency call and you wanna pin trade? Seriously?!?!?
I have a person on the ground in a medical emergency and complain that I will not tell you what is going on? Seriously????
Oh, you are held a couple of minutes while cast are making sure your ungratelful *ss is safe. Then you complain that you are late for dinner? Seriously???
Worse. They come and get hired cause they are breathing...then try to "out Disney" their trainer, their collegues, their managers and hit the matrix cause they do not get time off on weekends??? Seriously??!!!!
When I first got to MK, I put on a pedometer. (Was trying to lose weight...don't ask) When I saw the double digit miles I put on my feet on a slow day, I broke the damned pedometer. Yeah, I was frustrated I walked that far and still wasn't losing weight. ;)
I dare any of these complainers that say we are "un Disney" or "not Disney enough" to stand and walk for 8 hrs with just one hour off for breaks and food. Then you see what kind of mood you and your body are in...then imagine you had to be super nice to every jack*** that could pay the entry fee.
Yeah...did I mention I hate the holidays?

Re: Enlighten me.
You and me both. The worst guest are coming to the parks. And the last thing I want is to come here and see more guest complaints. After being assaulted, and yelled I think it's my time to moan and complaint. I have many things I *could* say about board a, b, c... x, y, z. I just don't have the energy and patience to deal with them. For a change after a very long day *I* want to be the one that is bitc**** about something, just so I can wake up tomorrow and do it all over again with a happy face.mapo wrote:

Re: Enlighten me.
I completely respect the CM's that need to vent - it gives me a perspective and an appreciation I wouldnt have... (really those Vuvuzelas arent confiscated at the gate?)
one thing I figure is a board X may have more members and/or trolls that post, and as that occurs its only natural to ask at sgt - because their (sgt) knowledge is more reliable..

Re: Enlighten me.
I don't speak of this board anywhere-sorry for the confusion. I've never even mentioned it at work. I found it on my own, anyone else can do the same. My only point was that IF this board were being brought up and maligned elsewhere, I would defend it.How about not standing up for this board anywhere and maybe the trolls will stop coming here or dragging us into their crap?
and I agree-the holidays suck and the summer holidays suck even more because they come with heat and humidity. Stupidity seems to be magnified in the heat.
