The voice boomed from up high

And when the lord spoke, the ground shook and all who heard his voice was struck with fear. Oh wait, that wasn't the lord, it was Tom

And he said "Let there be BASE!"

And there was BASE.

And it was good.

001:026 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the Building and over the antenna and over the span, and over all the earth, and over every creeping whuffo that creepeth upon the earth.

002:007 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed flight into his nostrils the breath of life; and the courages were given a living soul.

Hey Zennie,

Youre a cool guy. Would you mind clarifying that for us a bit?

When you say

Quote

And he said "Let there be BASE!"

Who do you mean by he?
You do mean the Lord, Right?

If any man should be credited for saying

Quote

Let there be BASE!

It should be Carl Boenish.

After all he is the one who came up with the acronym BASE and started calling it BASE jumping.

I think he meant Carl Boenish. He is the BASE creator by most definitions. All yee base followers kneel down before father Carl lest thee be smited with a 180 with a line over and line twists.

Father Tom has spoken.

Amen

Now where is the reverend of No Cheap Beer when we need him?

Whats up Gardner?

Are you really at jump 420, or is that just some sort of joke? Seems like every jump is 420.

Why, I'm referring to the God of BASE!

And he(Tom) performed an extreme act of censorship on his fellow BASE jumpers.

And it was wrong!

Well actually, this fourm is often just like middle school complete with finger pointing and name calling and lets not forget the ever persent popularity contest above which Tom presides

Faber, havent you noticed that Tom plays favorites and is unfair as far as who and what he deletes or what threads he locks, etc.

He is playing politics and being wrong to some people. How can you respect the fact that he censors us BASE jumpers according to his will? Censorship is wrong! He has no good excuse. He is guilty of flaming people himself. What really sucks is that since he is the moderator of the BASE Zone, he deletes threads and posts just because he doesnt like them, even if the post do not break any rules. On the other hand he allows certain people to make personal attacks against others repeatedly.

Hey Johnny, to quote Sangiro himself, "This ain't no damn democracy!"

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

[Faber 0]

Johnny,i meant the usefull treads,i never saw Tom deleted a tread or post that could be used to learn from...

If he has deleted post were people flaming others or so i cant really care about.

I seems to rember that He did promise(not long ago) that he would sort more unpersonal and rethink the edits.. i think he did so after that(atleast i didnt noticed anything so far).

Sorry mate i didnt see what you stated,but i do agree whith you that IF it happens it shouldnt be so.

Stay safe

Ok sure, we dont get to vote who the moderators are or what the rules are.

However I think that moderators of a credible forum should be consistent in the way they moderate.

....I Am Not Taking Sides Here....
What I am about to say is only the
** Opinion of a Simpleton **
But..........
First of all I would like to say that in my opinion.
A Politician is just a, Baby Raping, Car Salesman..
( this being an election year, here in the states )
Playing politics.. never really enters my little brain.
Man I don't know if Tom is playing politics.
Face it....Tom's no Jimmy Carter.
When anyone throws themselves out there
Publicly, to be an * Enforcer. *of rules
I think it ends up, Looking.Political. Trying
to please everyone all the time. There is always
going to be someone thinking they are getting
F##ked Over.
Think it over.....would you like to have that job ?
NO, most BASE jumpers like to fly under the Radar.

When you put yourself out there and I'm not just
Talking about *Tom*
That thread, Tree & Utah where kind of going at it.
....But : Thing's were not getting that crazy....
F##king Look...You two guys stuck your Necks
out, and just like the tallest Poppy that is growing
in the field. Sometimes the farmer comes along
with his Machete and, Cuts Your F##king Head Off.

Also you little Whining pieces of Sh#t that cry and go
running to the moderators for censorship just pick your
chin up and circumvent. Maybe go around the Posts you
don't like. Use your Brain's and swing it the way you
want it to go. Don't go crying to Mommy.

Like I said before.
" I don't like Jack Boot Nazi Censorship"
BUT..If I ran this place, it would surely be a
cluster F##k, Free-for-all..

Now to show all who are running the shinny, politically correct
show at DZcom. We are all adults.
Where being polite is shoved down your throat, whether you
like it or not.
Hug, hold hands, kiss,make-up, and say..."I'm Sorry."

[AggieDave 6]

Alright you loosers, back to your own forum! Back back back I say (shaking broom at the evil BASE jumpers)...

--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

[RayLosli 11]

OK... here it is
After taking a huge Ass Chewing from a friend.
For the Post I just made in ....
" The voice Boomed from High Up"
Some of the things he was telling me.
I agree with.
I still want to stress this same statement that I
made in the last thread.

....I Am Not Taking Sides Here....
What I am about to say is only the
** Opinion of a Simpleton **

I don't care what political agenda is being pushed.
Nor do I care what the personal agendas of Motivation are.

What impact was I trying to make in this Post ???
I am on the side of, No Censorship.
*The thread should not have been interfered with.*
It should have been left alone.
They would have worked it out...
The BIG PICTURE HERE IS CENSORSHIP.
Johnny can verbally defend himself if he feels that he is
being undermined. He has the right to.

OK...what the hell is going on ?

If Tree wants to be a Nancy Negitive, so be it.

The Readers for the most part see, (and here is the important part)
Also Understand what is happening.

I consider the three of you. Johnny, Tom, and Tree
My Friend and, I Don't Question It.
I know all three of you Guys better than you think I do.

Tree: I remember when you started jumping. You are a
good BASE jumper and you coming up and into your own.
But what the fuck ?
You know that Johnny takes your wise cracks to Heart
and it bugs him. seriously you hurt him.

Johnny: NOBODY that has ever jumped with you can
dispute...You are Talented BASE Jumper and Skydiver.
You can also teach.
You have worked hard for a long time and sacrificed.
As for being, -Well Rounded- in all aspects of BASE
In my opinion, you are in the top ten .
Man I know this is going to Piss you off but... People
are going to take shots at you. Because...
-You Choose- to put yourself out there publicly.
Also: I understand your stance and reasoning against the
type of censorship that is going on.
I am not against your cause. We share a similar dislike
for censorship.

Tom: Right now you are somewhere on the road in a U-haul
truck. Between, Birmingham Alabama and Twin Falls Idaho.
....Good Luck.... been there.
I don't feel that I have to say a whole lot about this subject
to you. You know how I feel about it from my posts and mails
that you have received from me in the past.
It's like you say. "It's a learning prosess" and you are learning.
Tom : The BASE community is full of colorful personalities.
The passionate views expressed by these people are .
* Just a fact of life.*
Why was a WORLD WIDE TALK FORUM for B.A.S.E.
set-up ?? If Not For This Reason.
The exchange of Knowledge on the subject of BASE is the
obvious positive bi-product that is given off.
Give the readers a little more choice. They can figure out
what is crap.

Who am I ? Knowbody important.
Just a reader. Just a jumper.
Am I making any impact ? Don't know.

Wow...after reading these posts, all I can say is you Base people are making me appreciate the Bonfire people so much more now.
