ashmonkey 0 #1 October 7, 2012 Love skydiving. And really enjoy all the great people that I meet. But why is it that every time I get on these forums all I see is oneupsmanship and psycho babble bashing of each other? Not cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundevil777 102 #2 October 7, 2012 Quote ...every time...all I see... It's because of people making absolute statements! You've just insulted everyone that posts on here regularly. Come on, lighten up. There are plenty of discussions that don't get heated. Lots of people with strong personalities. Are there internet forums where that doesn't happen?People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlyingRhenquest 1 #6 October 7, 2012 Internet forums always ruin everything. You could be completely happy playing a game, then you go on a forum and everyone tells you you're doing it wrong, the way they think you should be doing it isn't fun, and there are always hundreds of people posting about annoying little problems that you never would have noticed (And they wouldn't have bothered you if you had) until they brought them up. So this is thing #412; Internet Forums Suck I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brewster71 0 #7 October 7, 2012 Dude its not just the forums, spend any time on the packing floor? It's all glory and B.S. and Its an important part of the culture I cant belive I love this shit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shredex 0 #8 October 7, 2012 It's only the forums really. I think it's cause they are on the internet, which means that they are not jumping, which means that they are cranky If people were replying in-between their jumps of the day, I think you'd see a huge difference in how they speak Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gregpso 1 #9 October 7, 2012 My advice do not get involved on here. My career got trashed by talking on forums.(Banned from a DZ) Always got on well face to face.. but here on the net one can say things ih the heat of the moment (or type in the heat of the moment) that you regret later on. Never type on forums when you are angry its just not worth itI tend to be a bit different. enjoyed my time in the sport or is it an industry these days ??

You're safest in the "Classifieds" lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
likestojump 3 #11 October 7, 2012 I got a great idea for all who dislike these forums- don't read them. Problem solved i like the forums, so i choose to participate banned from the DZ for something you said online ??? there has got to be more to the story.

skydivecat 3 #13 October 7, 2012 Can we please not start ANOTHER thread about this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashmonkey 0 #14 October 13, 2012 I didn't mean to generalize. I'm certain that there are really great people on here. To all of you, thank you for helping the less knowledgeable in this sport. Skydiving is really a fascinating thing and I think we should treat each other like an extended family. There are too many people critical of us already to be critical of each other. I probably will stay on the classified (I like those) but not back on here. So in parting I'll just say GOD BLESS AMERICA! And semper fi to any Marine brothers and sisters out there in internetland.
