Just get it printed so the words are around the cut outs of your boobies......Since it takes Boobies to get extra altitude....and therefor hypoxic.

I wanna know something, and I am sorry for hujacking your thread sebbie so please excuse me if you will as I am unable to keep my damn big mouth shut any longer. How on gods green earth do you call yourself a goddess of freeflying with 117 jumps? You should quit crapping in diapers and climb into some pull ups before you create a label for yourself!..Okay sorry sebbie, had to clear that! ( slow breathe in, slow breath out, slow breathe in, slow breathe out). I like the shirt 8 and 3 and 1. Those are great we should get some of the boys in h-town to sport a few of those Bro

Maybe she's really hot and she's learning how to FF.

Eitherway, you could have PMed that instead of tossing out a personal attack in the forums.

Or maybe she is a Freefly Godess who comes to it naturally.
I know a guy who on one of his AFF jumps went heddown to get to his instructor. Apparently frightened the Begeeus out of the instructor.

FFG, pay him no mind.

You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)

Tried to stay away but got to say it. I think swoopyswoop's post is probably one of the meanest, posts I have seen on Dropzone.com.

[Sheenster303 0]

I have to agree. That was not a very nice post whatsoever. I think it was totally uncalled for.

I'm so funny I crack my head open!

I have to admit I had the same question.

I didn't post it since I know how people on here can get.

And I also didn't post it since most here think Im an asshole anyway.

But it does show that some of the people here really don't have the entire scope of the sport.

Being called a "Skygod" is a bad thing...an insult.

And calling yourself a God, or Goddess is asking for it.

It should have been brought up via PM....But we don't know if it has been already, or if she ignored well intended advice till it got to the point that he blew.

I have had people do the same to me...Here and on the DZ...A hell of a lot more times on these forums. When I started skydiving, and a guy with many times more jumps told me something, I listened...I still do. Not the case these days...I have guys with 50 jumps telling me that they know what they are doing and to fuck off.

Kind of the problem with AFF. And these forums. People advance quickly, and they get support from places like this and they don't take advice.

Ok, Im off my soap box.

He should not have gone off, but like I said I had the same question.

Her username probably has nothing to do with the "skygod" thing. for women, the whole "goddess" thing is a huge part of the female subculture. Its simply a "girl power" thing. Can also be used for a woman who's doing something that is usually done by males, or just doing something unusual.

My username on a medieval weaponry forum is "Athena" and someone started calling me "Warrior Goddess" and it stuck. I now sign all my posts over there "-WG-" It doesn't mean that I'm the goddess of all weaponry, it means that I'm a woman doing something that is typically done by a man, if at all, and an acknowledgement that that, in and of itself, is a bit of an achievement.

A woman calling herself a goddess isn't an ego thing, and it doesn't mean she's saying she's the best there is at doing a particular thing. It really is a chick thing, and its hard to explain.

That said, I feel your comments were GROSSLY inappropriate. If you wanted to know about her username, PM her and ask. There's no need to be rude on a public forum.

A perfect example of what I was talking about. Just because it is OK, Cool, or even expected in some areas, it is not always that way in another area.

Cool, and in that forum being called a "Goddess" may not have the same meaning as being called that at a DZ...You just kinda proved my point about people that don't know about the culture of sport making mistakes since they don't know and in some cases don't listen to advice.

On a DZ IT DOES MEAN THAT!!. Again you just keep proving my point.

And if you read my post I said that "I had the same question"...then later I say "It should have been done via PM"...Then I say"To be honest we don't know if he did try and she ignored him". At no point did I attack her. I used this a spring board to point out a very clear trend I see... People comming into the sport, and not learning the cultrue. Then not listening when people try to help.

I think people comming into a sport and not learning the culture, then getting pissed when someone tries to point it out that they are making an error is GROSSLY inappropriate.

I bet if I started hanging out in your Medieval Weaponry forum, and I didn't know jack shit about medieval weaponry or took the time to learn and ignored attempts to assist me. But called myself THOR GOD of ALL BROADSWORDS!!! I bet I get atleast one post like this.

Even if a name, saying or other piece of cultre is accepted in one sport/hobby ect that does not mean it fits in another...

And my whole point was today that people don't take the time to learn the culture, and ignore advice...Sometimes to the point where I have someone with 12 jumps telling me what is OK on a DZ. Or a guy with 100 telling me he should be allowed to fly a Velocity 96 at 2 to 1 and I should just "Fuck off and leave him alone..He knows what he is doing".

"...then getting pissed" She didn't. Everyone else who read the post did. Also, she has never assumed any kind of "skygod" status. No one has ever been confused. She has always used her name in the fun/playful way.

If you read the other posts that Swoopy made around the same time last night, there is a general tone. Negative. That is part of what people were reacting to.

I have to agree that Swoopy was in the wrong here.

Maybe it's tongue in cheek. I doubt she actually considers herself to be an actual goddess. People should lighten up. You must have a lot of free time to get so worked up over a screen name on a message board.

Maybe it's your attitude. There's a lot of veteran jumpers that I admire for their abilities but when they start talking I just want them to shut the hell up and go away because their arrogance and condescending attitudes are so annoying.

I choose who to take advice from and don't automatically assume someone who has a lot of jumps is a skygod no matter how much he thinks he is. It's not hard to find someone else with just as much experience who isn't a prick.

The person I replied to got pissed, and Swoopy was wrong in HOW he brought it up...All I tried to do was point out how people are going to have issues with names like that.

FFG...Hell I don't know her, and I don't care if she calls herself that or any other thing...But If you call yourself something, expect people to react to it...Wrongway and his whole issue comes to mind.

I also said (If you look at my first post) that it should have been handled via PM...But I also said that maybe he did and she ignored him....Its possible, hell I don't know.

Again I could not care what anyone calls themselves...I used this to point out how folks are comming into this sport and not taking the time to learn the culture...And in some cases not carring to even try and expecting the culture to conform to them.

If I went around and called myself "Skygod#1" then I would expect people to give me shit about it. FFG should expect the same thing, as well as others should understand how some are going to react badly to that kind of name.
