FastEd 0 #1 August 20, 2001 I don't think that anyone should ever take offence over the internet, especially through forums and chat rooms, the words are being said by someone xxx miles away, dont let it get you down!As for bad feelings across these forums, why are there? as far as i can see, the skydiving community is generally (only been to empuria and a coupla english dz's so i am not particularily (sp?) experienced) ... back to original point .... here --> ... really friendly and nice, SO GET ALONG DAMNIT.We're all here because we want to live life to the full and get some serious speed rushes when we jump, so lets not let bad jokes or mis interpretted messages annoy us!.and if all else fails, go and smoke some happy plants!Disclaimer : If you take offence from anything i wrote.... it was a joke... yeah... hmmm... /me covers own backside.Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mountainman 0 #2 August 20, 2001 I agree. I am done being a part of all this negativity lately. It seems that since HH has been gone, we've all been a little hasty with each other.I, for one, am done. From now on, if I wanna flame someone, I'll just do it verbally to the screen. I really am sorry for writing dumb stuff lately (esp to "postingwhore"....Hope there are no hard feelings and I hope that some of you agree with me!!

freaksister 0 #3 August 20, 2001 Hmmm...well we got rid of waasssup way back when, so I bet we can all stick together and clean this up again!Does anyone know how we can get in touch with the HH? Does he ever check his email, and when will he be back? You do realize that if this website got totally out of hand he would just close it down. He gets a kick out of reading out posts too, and loves coming to be part of things when he has time. He doesn't make any money from it so I can't see why he would let it degenerate too far if he knew what was happening. Granted, this is not nearly as broken as many web forums, but that is why we are concerned...I for one, would like to catch things before it gets that far. To those of us who have been around for a really long time, the changes in the website are shocking! Forgive us if we sound soapboxy but we are just surprised at all the stuff! I love all you guys and gals...don't you know?!! So let's work together to be less sensitive (myself included!!) and keep this together!!All in favor, say "aye"!!Sis (haven't given up and packed my bags yet!)I don't want the meaning of life, I want the experience of being alive!

skymama 37 #4 August 20, 2001 I decided a long time ago, that if I didn't like what was being said, I just moved on to the next thread. I have enough going on in my life, so I don't let myself get upset over what's being written on the forums that I read for enjoyment. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion after all and if you want to voice yours that's fine with me whether I agree with you or not. But if I don't agree with you, I'll just be rollling my eyes on this side of the computer screen, I won't let my panties (or thong in my case) get all tied in a knot! And, one thing that I have learned form my personal e-mails with friends is that things that you write in jest can VERY easily be misunderstood by the reader, because they can't hear the inflections in your voice, or see the smile on your face that would show that you are just kidding. That's just something to keep in mind, in my humble opinion.Now, let's all have a big group hug and lighten up!Andreahmmm, thinking of a new tag...any suggestions?
