sangiro 26 #1 March 22, 2003 Heya all, With everything going on in the world at this time emotions are understandably running high. With that being said I find the number of threads that had to be locked over the past few days unacceptable. I understand that this is where we get together, talk and exchange ideas and view-points. We try to run these forums with the minimum of interference to allow you to do just that, but I'm not going to allow what's happening in the world to turn into spitting matches in my living room. In the weeks ahead you should expect to lose your posting rights to this forum if you break the rules. I don't think it's fair to let a handful of individuals sour the atmosphere in here for the rest of us. So, if you plan to be part of that group, expect to be escorted to the door. I don't care if you're to the right or the left of the war and I don't care if you registered yesterday or the day before me. If you launch into personal attacks here or provoke others to do so you'll be banned from posting. If you try to re-register and continue your shenanigans under a different username I will disable your original username permanently and continue to do so with every new username you register thereafter. For those of you who are new and think this is not possible or will not be done, please take some time to ask around. Before you hit the post button, read your reply again. If you're in doubt about whether it constitutes a personal attack or not, then it probably does. Don't post it. Things are pretty rough out there in the world. I have every intention to protect the character of Dropzone.com regardless. Please help me to do so by moderating yourself. Keep your cool. Let's respect each other and have some fun.

Iflyme 0 #5 March 22, 2003 I personally have never intended to offend any of you in the posts I have made in recent days. I have strong feelings about the state affairs in the world, just like the rest of you. I will try to keep out of any threads that make any reference to "the war". I'll see ya all over in "general skydiving" ... and we can kick around RSLs and stuff some more. The Bossman deserves our respect. You've got mine, Sangiro. Thanks for creating this great website where "skydivers of the www" can hang out (I still think my slogan was the best for the t-shirts). Frank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #6 March 22, 2003 Possibly the non-Yanks on this forum will not "get" the quote I posted above. Red Forman is the cantankerous father in an American sitcom called, "That 70's Show".

Push 0 #8 March 22, 2003 My thread got locked and it wasn't about the war j/k, I'm not complaining. Thank you. I will do my best to keep dz.com friendly. And if any of my silly attempts infringe on your bandwidth, feel free to lock -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,545 #10 March 22, 2003 Thanks, and glad to see you here. WendyThere is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
