By the standards that many are judging "bashing" of SSR....you would've just bashed OKW and VWL.
FWIW...I don't see that as bashing....just stating your opinion. Maybe I am missing some of these "bashing" threads, but I have only seen people stating their opinions of SSR. If you can find a thread where someone "bashes" SSR, rather than stating their opinion....PLEASE fwd it on to me.
I have seen many threads where people say SSR is too much like an apartment complex, doesn't have a "Disney" feel, they don't like the concrete, open walkways, is too far from a park, doesn't have a sit-down restaurant, not enough food choices at Artist's Palette, etc. My question is: "How is that any different from the comments you just made about OKW and VWL"? And, I don't think those comments you made are at all offensive.
Maybe I am missing something, but "bashing" to me would be if people regularly called SSR the "housing project" of DVC, or referred to it as "The second-class DVC resort" or something equally rude. Something that would be universally derogatory. Saying things like, "It didn't have the Disney feel to me", or "I don't like the exterior hallways", "It's too far from the parks/too spread out/too big"...are not bashing....they are opinions!!!
If SSR owners are trying to get other posters to NEVER express a negative opinion about SSR...well, that's just not going to happen...it hasn't happened for any other resort, and it is simply not human nature. Moreover, if these boards became a place where people could not express their honest opinions, I would probably become bored and leave (and maybe some would be happy about that). But, if I want an "all happy commercial", I'll go to dvcmember.com. If I want to see truthful opinions and evaluations, I come here...I hope that never changes.
