mailin 0 #1 April 12, 2004 Thanks to the mods and HH that dz.com isn't like this. Full of obviously bitter people. I have to agree with Deuce on this one - it obviously must suck to know it all. QuoteFrom: bigjim (bigjim@the-beach.net) Subject: Re: Better read it now > > they have nice pet kitties and (((vibes))) That's proably as close to an explanation as you are going to get, Chuck. I used to lurk over there and almost freak. Is this the future of our sport, or scarier still, the future of the human race? I used to ask myself. Then I realized that just about any "normal" skydiver who wasn't a suck up and took the time to express a real opinion over there got banned. What they have over there is a support group for wannabes and occasional jumpers that revolves around a few ego trippers, some who actually know what they're talking about, some who are just lucky to still be alive.

They got their wittle feelings hurt too many times here so they went over there where they can get the adulation they feel they deserve. Jim D-10154 QuoteWhy, Jan, do you find this situation upsetting? Or more pointedly, why do you care what a small band of puppies over at DZ.com is going to do? Like most chat groups, dz. has a small core of participants which define the group. Over there, typically, the core group member seems to have a few years in the sport and really low jump numbers per year. The exception seems to be the moderators. Twenty occasional skydivers do not define women in skydiving or anything else, therefore, based on definitions, I don't see why this bothers you in terms of it being demeaning to women in skydiving. Michelle and her little group of buddies do not typify women in skydiving. Let them do their thing. If some money goes to a good cause as a result good on them. In the worst case, nothing they do should reflect poorly in skydiving women in a more global sense. Again, cheers to to HH and the mods JenArianna Frances Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #4 April 12, 2004 QuoteMichelle and her little group of buddies do not typify women in skydiving. Yup, I don't typify anything...just ask my family. LOL! I am good at not "typifying" anything...and I take that as a compliment. Considering my "little group of buddies" include the folks who'll be participating in this calendar, and include such folks as Michael McGowan, Kate Cooper, Mary SantAngelo, and many other skydivers, as well as some of the largest DZs in the country, I found that comment very funny. Yes, I am an occasional skydiver. So what? That doesn't mean we can't create something which will benefit skydiving, and which will, at the same time, bring in donations for JFTC. It's all good. The publicity generated by those posts is creating a huge amount of interest, and it simply energizes me to produce something from a team of skydiving people that will knock the socks off people, and bring in lots of sales. LOL...this is getting really funny. Thanks for all the laughs, folks. And HH, thanks for a site that occasional jumpers and wannabe's can contribute with out concern that we will be shot down for not knowing all, being all, and being perfect. This place rocks!

Lindsey 0 #7 April 13, 2004 They have a point, but hey....I still like it here despite all the pressure to conform. I had to laugh the other day when one of my posts (not offensive I don't think) was DELETED after no more than 5 minutes! Pretty heavy duty surveillance and a QUICK response by the Big Bro!!! That was my beer time to have a post deleted, and I still don't know what I did wrong....lol. Well maybe I was getting the whip out at an inappropriate time. Who knows...lol. Whew....glad I got that off my chest Peace~ Lindsey-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.
