I dont understand !!!!!!

I started jumping since last Augest and when I found this site I was happy. I could learn more about something I really love . I find that there are so many PA's in the forums. Are we all on the same side here ? When I say that I mean that we want to keep the sport going and as safe as possible . I know this is a bland statement with out giving examples. I just don't understand it . I have learned a lot form this site but I don't need the attitude when getting the knowledge. I am wondering if I am the only one that feels that way?

This is a bonfire topic. Man, I am so glad that I resigned as a moderator so I would not have to move this.

Just ignore the bad ones. Like the rest of life, there are people who don't play nice. Tune them out and only remember the good ones. While as a group, skydivers are not perfect, I have found my very best friends there.

This is a sport and a site that occasionally requires a thick skin.

I think that there is a lot of info to learn here.......just as with everything, you take things with a grain of salt and don't take things personally.

Now..Now..It will be alright. I think you just need to attend a few safety meetings.

why would you expect it to be any different to any other online environment, there actually is nothing special about people who exit planes from altitude, they are still comprised of a cross section of general society
