sangiro 26 #1 June 30, 2004 Heya, It's been a while since I've said this so here's a reminder. I'll quote some things verbatim from a post that's more than 2 years old just to make sure you understand that this has always been my position. The idea of the Dropzone.com Forums is to create an inviting environment where everyone, newbies and whuffos included will feel welcome to post their questions without the risk of personal attack or insult. For everyone else who wants a different vibe, there's always rec.skydiving. I've been running this site for a few years now and have long accepted that it’s impossible to please everyone. In fact, trying to please everyone is a sign of mediocrity and you only end up pissing off the good folks. So, accepting the fact that some people will not like what I do and probably leave, I've had to make choices about who I'd like to keep around. I opted for the people who appreciate and respects the character of the community that we're trying to create. To that extend, I will not tolerate a club or clique who's sole purpose it is to be maliciously hurtful to another member. I really don't care how much you may dislike an individual's opinions or the way her or she expresses them. If you deliberately work at making someone feel unwelcome I will return the favor. So Shut-Up Brothers, you can either lose the attitude, and the signature lines or loose your access to Dropzone.com. You pick. There are plenty of ways to have fun on this site. This isn't one of them. Safe swoops Sangiro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BASE813 0 #2 June 30, 2004 QuoteI will not tolerate a club or clique having recently been on the skydive part of this site more so than I would normally, I would have to say there seems to be a clique mentality here............... but then again I guess thats sort of similar to a DZ!! I am glad its noticed, as its actually unpleasant - and these people think they are "open minded"............. mmmmmm...... The more I read of you S, the more I am respecting you............ Thanks for your on going efforts.......... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vallerina 2 #5 June 30, 2004 QuoteIf you deliberately work at making someone feel unwelcome I will return the favor. I'm sorry, Sangiro. I knew that the story of condoms in the river would make everyone feel unwelcome, so I will wait to tell stories like that in person instead! Thanks for making a little spot on the internet where we can all feel welcome as long as we play by the rules!There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael I'm sure most of the signature lines, if not all, are gone by now, but I tried to get some information about it from one of the people that had a shut up number and was denied. Maybe they were talking about me? Nice spank, HH. Even a greenie felt that fork go whipping by.... It's your life, live it!

Probably not the only one, but you are the one who most often have no idea... just kidding Mike! Don't worry, it's not anything you need to worry about. Those involved know. There are a lot of things I unfortunately know, whether I care to or not. Play on! Safe swoops Sangiro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually jump so I figured out it wasn't me pretty fast. I was just curious. Hey HH, wanna form a cult? I wanna be the leader this time though. I promise, no Kool Aid. It's your life, live it!

AggieDave 6 #15 June 30, 2004 Well, I guess I'm a bit slow on the jokes and such right now. Its not even 10am and today has been fucking blown. Looks like I'm going to Northgate tonight to have a beer and toast a couple of shots to a friend that's gone.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

diablopilot 2 #18 June 30, 2004 I don't know what the deal is but sounds like someone had a "conspiricy theory" and complained about it.

WrongWay 0 #20 June 30, 2004 QuoteNo one want to comment on the Crip numbers then? I agree. I know for a fact that LOTS of people are offended by that. Now this may be an "assholish" thing to say, but I feel it's better for one person to be offended over a big joke than for 100 to be offended over something serious involving the handicapped. I have Tourettes Syndrome, but I know better than to start "Tourettes numbers" because I know that MANY would probably be offended, just as I would be if someone else did that. Not an attack, not an attempt to justify anything, simply stating an opinion. Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.

sunshine 2 #21 June 30, 2004 The crip numbers are not meant to hurt anyone's feelings. I do think you're just being a PITA about it. I find the term PMS a little annoying. I know it's for Pink Mafia Sisters, but the term PMS still bugs me. Deal with it and move along. In life you will always run across things that offend you, but when someone is willfully making fun of you there is a big big difference. Edited to add: I was a shut up brother for a few days. I posted on the forums on 6/22 ago that i quit the SUBs. I'm guilty of thinking it was funny at first, but then i decided it was downright mean and i didn't want a part of that. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug!

sangiro 26 #22 June 30, 2004 QuoteI don't know what the deal is but sounds like someone had a "conspiricy theory" and complained about it. No one had a conspiracy theory nor did she complain. It's bad style to try and turn things around on the person who were on the receiving end of this behavior. The people who did it know what they did. They were wrong. As you don't know what the deal is maybe you shouldn't comment on things you don't know anything about.Safe swoops Sangiro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FWIW, Sunny I very much respect you coming out and saying that. It takes more guts to stand up to your peers than to stand up to an average Joe. You're still a dork though. I too am a Shut-Up Brother (#11). I think this was just a joke that got WAAAAAAY out of hand, and people were hurt emotionally in the process, which is never good. I won't apologize, as I believe none of this was to be taken seriously, but I also will not say I was in the right. Oh, and sunny, I'm not a pita. You'd have to wrap me in a tortilla and stuff me with lettuce, chicken, and ceasar dressing for that. Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #25 June 30, 2004 QuoteI don't know what the deal is but sounds like someone had a "conspiricy theory" and complained about it. Are you kidding? Maybe the person that this was about ALWAYS knew EXACTLY what all those sig lines were about, but NEVER complained or let on. Do you really think that Sangiro is not smart enough to understand things that go on here? After all, he initially got rid of the inivisible type himself. Maybe he began to ask questions about what the type meant and got his answers. Don't assume that someone asked for that or squealed. Maybe that person knew the whole time...and didn't care what certain people on the internet think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
