Michele 1 #26 March 27, 2006 QuoteThe answer to your trivia question is Michele. And no, she has yet to cash it in. Nope, I haven't cashed it in. I'm holding it in reserve so if I completely lose my mind and PA someone, I can get away with it. There have been times where I was extraordinarily tempted to roll someone over and cash it in, but those times I just left the keyboard, went to the garden, weeded for a while, and remembered that "it's just the internet..." and moved on. LOL!! As HT said, linguistic skills (and debate skills) are vital to success as an adult...

turtlespeed 226 #27 March 27, 2006 QuoteIf a personal attack is really funny I think the "attacker" should get a pass. If you take yourself seriously enough to get offended by a post on an internet forum maybe you deserve to be attacked in the first place. I've been on the boards a few months and i've seen some really funny attacks.. Some of which were quickly deleted by mods before everyone could fully enjoy the hilarity that was the attack. I think this is a crime. Let the comedy remain. (and yes I am Trolling) Funny - that seems to go on anyway - lightheartedness is not a crime.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #28 March 27, 2006 I voted 'NO'. What we think is funny, may not be taken as such, by the person recieving the attack. I agree with those who said that it's real easy to hide behind a keyboard. You got something to say to me... say it to my face. I'll let you know, one way or the other, how I feel about the comment. It's impossible to see exactly how something is said over the net. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeiber 0 #29 March 27, 2006 QuoteAs long as the person dishing it out can take it... then damn right! Its funny shit,. I laugh, you laugh. We all laugh. Its all in good fun. Roll with the punches and don’t take life too seriously, that’s what I say. I think the mods need to look to see if there's malice involved... Hypothetically speaking, if 5432154321 is calling someone an 'inconsiderate cockblock' for screwing up his chances of hooking up with a porn star, then that there's funny! If I post something about taking a cat skydiving, and someone threatens to cut my reserve risers if I do... well, then that's probably crossing the line.Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeiber 0 #34 March 27, 2006 QuoteI never will. I didn't think that you were, but the smiley was making me think you might have been the one that left that message on my answering machine last year... evidently, some people actually have a soft spot for cats.

Thanatos340 1 #35 March 27, 2006 Jeiber... Are you tring to revive the Great Georgia Cat Chasing Championship?? From Neil Boortz: Let's go back about 14 years. I was working at a much smaller radio station then and wasn't syndicated. I told my listeners that I had learned of an interesting competition that was going to take place "at an airport south of Atlanta." It was the Georgia Cat Chasing Championships. The purpose was to choose a champion to send to the national contest a month later. Cat chasing, for those of you who don't know, is the sport of cramming about eight skydivers and one cat into an airplane. When you get to 10,000 feet you toss the cat out. The skydivers then pile out and go after the cat. Whoever lands with the cat is the winner. To make a long story short … we spent about four weeks promoting the show. I had guests come by for quick appearances. Past champions, judges, sponsors and contestants. On the day of the "competition" we did a "live" remote broadcast. I sat in the studio with a cast of about five people and about 60 sound effects. We had crowd noise, helicopters, the sounds of screaming cats, airplanes, parachutes opening, wind noise … you name it. We had a chain saw used to get a cat out of a tree. We had the sound of an uncaught cat falling through the air. Let me tell you, we gave the audience one helluva show. We had county sheriffs all over South Georgia rushing to their local airports afraid that this competition was going on in their jurisdictions. What fun we had! At the end of the show we told those listeners who hadn't figured things out that it was all a spoof. We then produced a tape of the show and sold it for $10 a hit. The total proceeds went to the Fund for Animals. We raised thousands. Well – we didn't go to quite the same lengths yesterday. All I did was mention the contest and my participation. Amazingly – many people bought it. Here's the latest e-mail tally as of 6:00 a.m.: E-mails telling me they laughed their butts off: 239 E-mails telling me they would never listen to my show again: 67 E-mails telling me they were going to call all my sponsors and organize boycotts: 21 E-mails from affiliate station managers telling me they were getting demands that my show be dropped: 2 E-mails from cat-haters who wished the whole story was true: 5 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeiber 0 #37 March 27, 2006 QuoteGreat Georgia Cat Chasing Championship Man, I forgot all about that spoof!!! That's hilarious reading over it again. Nah, I posted something about our plans to video a cat in freefall, and at the time, I had my last name on my DZ.com profile. Evidently somebody looked it up in the phonebook, and left me a nice message about what they were going to do to me if I followed through with the plans. I showed them though, I removed my last name from my profile and disconnected my answering machine! Too bad the pilot was worried about the cat getting loose in the plane and crawling under the pedals. Would have made great video...Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

I've been on the boards a few months and i've seen some really funny attacks.. Some of which were quickly deleted by mods before everyone could fully enjoy the hilarity that was the attack. I think this is a crime. Let the comedy remain. PA's do not contribute to a thread. A discussion forum can be a great place for throwing around controversial topics, with the intent of either educating someone or gaining a new perspective on an issue that you had previously held strong opinions about. Too many good topics that had potential for great debates were killed because someone decided to rant at people personally and the thread went downhill from there (many trolls have accomplished the same thing with straw man arguments and other irritating behavior). More importantly this is not your standard discussion forum site. While SC is somewhat more risky in topics the participants are still all people who share a common hobby and come here to enjoy discussions with other skydivers without seeing someone get crapped on or threatened. Richards My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.
