Reservations: 65341 As Of 6/20/2017

[Elio Amazed]

.... this forum has a history of being able to question and discuss points without that anger and that's the way it should be

And I tried (in that post) to do exactly that.
And look at what I got in return. #1913
You keep talking about anger as a motivation for criticism of EM.
Almost all, if not all, of my inital posts on subjects have not been motivated by anger or wanting the EM to fail.
Quite the contrary. Including the post you just responded to.

The defensiveness and anger almost always comes in the the responses to the posts.
I'm just not one to back down when an angry person throws insults and drivel in my face.
Why should I have to? Especially considering the flurry of rationalization and insults that some of those responders hurl?
So who else, exactly, should you be admonishing here?

and you are in a position to warn and them boot 'em, we are in a position, as you suggested to report them, for the moderators to follow up.

you are correct on both points

I was as constructive as I could possibly be in my post.
I've never written a word about the decision to build the engine. Not in that post. Not ever.

You've basically said the same thing on a number of occasions.
You've chosen to presume to speak for others... again.
You've again chosen to demonstrate a perfect example of what I just talked about.

I have no desire to banter with someone that I have absolutely no chance to influence.
So, in a way, when I told you that you won a while ago, it was a true statement.
Yet here you are, being no different than a bonafide troll and getting in my face again.

The thing that concerns me most is that you directed that response toward me on a very personal level.
My post was neither directed specifically towards you nor was it a response to one of your posts.
Nor was it within the guidelines recommended in our new moderator's post.
Both the content and the tone were unprovoked and inappropriate.
I'm sick enough of you doing that to people that I'm hitting the "report" button now.
As far as Paul sowing seed etc... That parable was about Christ and the word.

The Button... Listen for it...

Under your rules, you are threatening me.
I did not direct my post at you.
I said ......."Some on here don't agree and keep bringing up".................
not you specifically.
Please calm down.
You are not being targeted.

Number of current reservations: 42,410 as of May 11, 2015 = 122/8 days = 15.4/day or
Number of current reservations: 42,410 as of May 10, 2015 = 122/7 days = 17.4/day

Usually it is a 7 day cycle (May 10) but today they say May 11.

Not impressive. Worst ever?

THAT IS AN INCREASE OF 288 SINCE APRIL 26 .

now that the tour has resumed its schedule of open events (as opposed to the ones that have been closed to the general public) it will be interesting to see if the weekly reservation numbers go back up ....

 

[BlioKart]

So the buy in rate is still around 20 per day?
