Bolas 5 #1 January 21, 2004 You know this Jackie thing has got me thinking... How do we know Elsinore really burned down? I mean, come on. Most of us only saw pictures. They could be of other things or you would be amazed what you can do with Photoshop!!! Those that were there could have been hypnotized. This is just a way to extort sympathy and free gear!!! Before you people draw and quarter me, I want you to know I am gathering donations on the East Coast to send and have offered up a camera to loan. Okay, you can commence the killing... "Ow, not the face" (starts kicking the crotch) "AHH!!! back to the face, back to the face!!!"Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

skyyhi 0 #4 January 21, 2004 I understand the whole hoax thing, but I can assure you that Elsinore is not the case. . .I hate hoaxes. . . The destruction is horrible and I, as a student at Elsinore, have been quite affected by it. . .________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bolas 5 #5 January 21, 2004 Actually I have told Tandem passengers in the past that Skydiving doesn't really exist: that they are about to participate in group hypnosis and the videos they get are done with computers. Sometimes when watching the video I say see that wire? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Michele 1 #10 January 21, 2004 QuoteThis is just a way to extort sympathy and free gear!!! Considering I was accused of starting a scam paypal account, I don't think this is too funny. I don't have a whole lot of anything if I don't have my integrity. And as I see the accusation of the scam as an attack on my integrity, it pisses me off no end. No, Bolas, you didn't accuse me. It just rankles me that my character and integrity was questioned because I was trying to help out "family". Elsinore burned. The devastation is real. The instructors are hurting very badly. But Elsinore will, like the Phoenix, emerge from the ashes, stronger and better. And they will do so with our help...and they will do so smiling.

Michele, I hope you can find the humor in it cause when that someone accused you of the scam, I started ROFLMAO cause, even though we have never met, I would have to say you would be the last person to try and scam any of us.

PhillyKev 0 #16 January 21, 2004 Michele, I think you may be overreacting. All that person said was that they didn't know the veracity of the people making the posts and was leary. Just because someone is afraid they might be getting scammed because they don't know the parties involved is just being smart, not accusatory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #19 January 21, 2004 You're right, Kev, I may be overreacting. However, this person knows me, she and I have had discussions at the DZ. She knows that I post here as "Michele" This person can be as suspicious as she likes, and she can think whatever she chooses about me. I don't have to like it, however. And it does rankle me. There are few guaranteed ways to piss me off - one of them is baseless accusations and impungnation of my integrity, however slight that may be (in this kind of situation...I am not talking about political discussions...LOL). This is NOT wreck.dot. Thanks, Judy. I had hoped that the reaction from most people would either be an honest question in the post (ala Skreamer), or an understanding that there is no way I would knowingly be involved in a scam, that my home DZ is Elsinore, and that this was a real, honest attempt to help my friends. Doug, come jump with me. You'll see me as real. Real fast. As in fall rate. And Lummy - yes, I have a shady character. When it's 104 degrees out, I sit in the shade. Nyah.

Slappie 9 #20 January 21, 2004 Ok lemme get this straight.. I haven't been paying attention I guess.. 1. Elsinore was a hoax and never burnt? (I doubt this is a hoax) 2. This Jackie person was a fake? She never died? or what? I just looked for the Jackie threads and they seem to have disapeared... I feel like I walked into the Twighlightzone and forgot to drink my beers to calm the paranoia.. for those who know what I meant about the beer and paranoia tsk tsk shame on you "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

skyblu 0 #23 January 21, 2004 So what was the outcome of the Jackie & Kat69 posts/threads anyway? I'm guessing Jackie story was assumed to be a hoax since the thread is gone (and the fact that she logged in today ). That's quite sad really... but I am impressed at how many dz.commers reached out to give her words of encouragement and offers of a free tandem, video, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL... actually, I wrote a long reply saying basically the same as PhillyKev. To sum it up, I was a little leary of the paypal thing too, but I also didn't notice that you were involved with it either. IT's easy to miss stuff with all the noise in Talkback and not knowing everyone here (like I used to) so I tend to be leary of most posts at first.I promise not to TP Davis under canopy..
