highfly 0 #1 December 1, 2005 A certain poster has been told that he brings the worst out in people by another forum member. Why would someone who makes a few people laugh by their sense of humor, be made to feel like they bring out the worst out in people? I have found this poster to be very funny on many occasions since they have arrived on DZ.com Granted they do sail a little close to the wind in someof theirposts but now their posts are becoming more thought provoking and funnier. Humor works in many different ways , some of us laugh at other peoples misfortune, some of us laugh at very bad jokes. I know myself I have laughed at things which shouldnt be laughed at at all. Has this bought out the worst in me? If Wayne Gacy didnt find their their posts funny and replied, would that be the worst in him coming out? I dont think so. A lot of people are very sensitive to a lot of subjects, I realise that this could be the case in life but hey lets cut some slack on some people. I have been a member on this site for over 3 yrs now and I dont know of any other member having such an impact on the bonfire. BTW I dont revel in the fact that they are winding people up and making them feel annoyed, but in some regards that is the funniest part that someone can "start" someone up so easily. I think its great that somone can take emotions to different levels so easy. Our lives can be changed by people like this. When we read about topics and we get uptight, happy, sad, angry etc etc it shows that we care about how we feel on certain things and people that care are always high on my favorite list. Id rather know someone that cared than somone that didnt. My .5 cent worth, thats Kiwi cents too www.myspace.com/durtymac Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reminder: while there is no requirement to post about skydiving, or even skydive, to post on this board, there are alot people on this board that actually read/post/contribute to the site to actually contribute the sport, not just to try and piss people off. Posters that sit in bonfire and speakers corner all day long are kind of missing the point of this board, IMHO. The fact that anyone could get riled up enought to break the personal attack rules and get banned from this site is quite literally mind blowing. Is DZ.COM such a big part of some peoples lives that if it or they are disrepected by someone else, they must defend their "E-Honor" and stop following the rules, rather than just turn off the PC and unplug for awhile. I mean think about it seriously, how hard is it follow the very few rules we have here and not get banned. Someone getting banned from a forum is the funniest thing about this board to me. Its an adult version of kindergarden "time out"......lol. C'mon, really, how hard is it to follow a few simple rules? I will occasionally post in SC or Bonfire, but I try to keep the vast majority of my periodic posting on here related to skydiving, as I think may have been one of Sangiro's primary motivations when he first started this site, to give us a place to talk about the sport we love, skydiving, not to spend all day post whoring in Bonfire trying to get people upset by being "controversial". -- My other ride is a RESERVE.
