Anytime - too bad its a helluva lot easier said than done. Bottomline though - I've found it out the hardway, your happiness is your responsibility and no one elses. I hope it works out for you, if not, come out to Denver and I'll buy you a jump or two to forget about those closeminded assholes!!!

Dude, I don't think you're getting the point. It seems by now it has become "flavor", at least with most
people. I'm just wondering what the few with the problem with me's problem really is, because they seem to
make it out like it is referenced to my being a "bad jumper", though time and time again they're told
otherwise by people I normally jump with, and even by people I don't normally jump with but have done 1 or
2 with me. I'm just kinda wondering why, after I feel I've more than proved myself, I'm just always the guy
that gets shit on at the end of the day. That's all I wanna know man. It has nothing to do with my name,
my flying skills, or the way I like my eggs, it's just a matter of respect, and I think not only should everyone
be treated with such respect just for being human, but as skydivers, it should be an even closer bond, and
none of those vibes should be spread throughout people that have done nothing to anyone.

no I am totaly getting your point....

So you have 2 options once again..

1. shut up about people using your name as a reason to fuck with you. Continue to do the right things and prove yourself over,and over, and over until they look stupid saying how bad of a skydiver you are...Or wait till they die..."Sit by a river long enough and you can see the bodies of your enemies drift by"- Sun Tu, The Art of War.

2. Change your fucking name.

Now it seems like you are hell bent on going #1...Fine, I like the nickname. But it will most likley take YEARS and a thousand more jumps before people quit talking smack about your skydiving...And then some people will then just start talking about your personal hygiene habits or your lack there of.....so now the second part of it...Shut up about it. No one likes a bitcher, and if they know its bothers you....they will just keep doing it.

Does any of this make sense to you?

Dude you don't have to be such an ass about it. Come on man, it's a forum, not a debate. For what it's worth, it's been dealt with, and I got to keep my name. Lookie there, I have my name and I fixed the problem, now didn't you say it couldn't be done? Dude, really, calm down, I think you're getting ten times as worked up about this as I am, and you don't even know me or the situation. There are more important things in life to worry about than some dude you don't even know's name. If you're gonna be pissed off about that, I suggest you get out this weekend and jump your ass off to make you a little happier. Chill bro, I appreciate the advice, but there's no need to be hostile like that. It's all about the blue skies!!

Whos being an ass? You came here crying wondering why no one will take you seriously...Well, hell you told us why.

Nope, I never said it could not be done...I told you the two ways to deal with it. If #1 worked great.

Dude, I could not give a rats ass about it...Until you came here crying about it I didn't know.

Now if you want to ignore what you asked for, fine..do it.

Not pissed, just told you my opinion, which is what you asked for...Like I said glad #1 worked for ya...Now for the second part...shut up about it...not yelling at you...Just drop it. If people know its a hot spot for ya...they will do it just to get a rise out of you.

I appreciate the advice, but there's no need to be hostile like that.

I am not being hostle...In the truth I really don't care about you...I don't know you, never met you, and most likley never will. You came on here asking for advice, and I gave it...Now you clearly don't know me at all...I am direct and to the point. I don't tip toe around anything. I say what I think, how I think it.

None of this is a slam on you, never was, and will not be.

I just in plain simple english told you the two ways to deal with it.....One was simple, Drop the name. The other is longer....You want to keep the name? Cool, in fact I LIKE it, I find it funny. Does it make me think you are a bad skydiver? Nope, but it could to some people.

Glad you get to keep the name....

And trust me, I am in no way upset about anything that happens here of all places.

Well then it's obvious I took that the wrong way. I appologize for any misunderstanding I had about your concerns in the matter, and I appreciate your advice. Jump hard, bro.

You may be joking, but it's true. Ron has a way of stating his opinion in a no-nonsense manner. Some people may think he's harsh, but some people appreciate having someone that will bluntly say whats on his mind.

Oh trust me - I know, Ron and I have gone head to head a few times, but in all honesty, I got nuthin but respect for what he says and how he puts it. IMHO, too many people beat around the bush around here when they shouldn't. I don't think (oh this is going to be good Ron) Ron knows anything about bushes (now that was a loaded statement) (Sorry Ron, this thread has gotten a bit funny hehehe)!!!!!

ROFL People think I am an asshole too Ron. Look at my recent poll in General Skydiving Discussions.

Like I said, I sincerely prefer assholism in your face rather than timid non acting non safe type attitudes.

It's been almost 3 weeks since your original post. How much did your website hit-count go up?

It wouldn't hurt you to think like a fucking serial killer every once in a while - just for the sake of prevention

[WrongWay 0]

And what exactly is that supposed to mean? Wasn't this thread over and done with a while ago pal?

I was just curious re: website hit counts...call it professional interest as I do web design, cgi-programming, etc. for clients who are always looking for creative website marketing tactics.

PS -- I figured 3 weeks (and crossing a first-of-the-month border) would be sufficient for the weblogs to be analyzed.

Oh, sorry man. I thought you meant that a different way. My mistake!! Anyway, I'm not sure. To be honest, I haven't paid much attention to the hits on my site. It's really more like a personal thing that my friends and i can post our pics and share them, so i really have no need to monitor hits.

Sorry again about the misunderstanding.
