Merion_Mom Posted February 25, 2007 #3 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Hey, Emmy, you are famous! :) It is a pretty basic article, just to let the reading public know that cruise message boards exist. Anyone who is ON a board will find the article simplistic, and written by someone who has NO experience either with cruising or these boards. To wit: "In rare instances, dialogue can become harsh, catty and just plain rude — as when a pack on cruisecritic.com went off on a mother who brought her diapered infant into the adult pool (a “fecal teabag,” one visitor called it). " Whether or not you remember this actual thread (I certainly do!), it is clear that there was no "pack going off on a mother" - and no responding poster was "rude" to criticize the OP - the mother was clearly in the wrong to violate the strict rule about not putting babies in the pool. And the fecal teabag phrase is just plain brilliant. :D (no, I was not the original author of this phrase, although I have used it) It is always fun to get publicity, and Emmy is a STAR! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negc Posted February 26, 2007 #7 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Emmy, I knew we were in the presence of a special person when we sailed on the Freedom members cruise. Now the rest of the world, or at least those who read the Times now so as well.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
