Stu Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 41 minutes ago, Jeff Ream said: they agreed on a few basic points. what was presented went a lot farther in some areas than what was agreed upon. That's the part you refuse to get....a rough framework was largely expanded by one person....and none of them knew what was awaiting them when they got there and saw it. That is not what you claimed earlier!!! You claimed that six did not even know what was in the presentation it until a document, that they were unaware of, was leaked; that they were blindsided by the document itself not just the leak!!! What you just posted was that the rough draft was actually agreed upon, and that the notes from the rough draft were complied into a PowerPoint presentation, that they actually did read through that presentation in a meeting, a PowerPoint document ready for formal presentation, which was then leaked before it got to the DCI voting table. Again that scenario is far from what you claimed earlier!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even DCI isnt set up that way, as payouts are different for corps 1-8, 9-17 and 17 down. So to them, they wanted their 1-8 portion to be higher than it already was. They obviously didnt feel it was offensive in some regards Good Grief Charlie Brown!!! Agreements voluntarily made on how the activity rules, regulations, and voting are to be equitable among all corps is not Socialism!!! Moreover, I have always advocated that payouts scaled according to placements are fair as long as the competitive rules for all are equitable; and so have all the member corps in DCI. I have also stated that the same payouts for all irrespective of placement, and/or confiscating the wealth of a few corps to distribute to other corps, (both socialistic concepts) would punish the successful and should also be avoided at all cost; and so have all of the member corps in DCI. And if the G7 document was just about percentage of payouts, there would have been healthy debate by the member corps, but no coups attempt nor drastic counter measures would have occurred. The seven not only wanted a bigger slice of the revenue to go to them for competitive placement, oh no; they wanted to the votes for the seven to be doubled in order to bolster their own power, they desired to move other DCI revenue generated by all corps, for marketing all corps, over to bolstering the marketing power for just the seven, they wanted full control of governance, full control of adjudication, full control of show line-ups,... And Yes, that is what all seven unified to do publicly! Accusing me of advocating Socialism!! Oh what a farce you are trying to weave!!!

Used to be people could logically debate and support their point of view Now the "retort" for a serious topic is a "hashtag" like solving violence in Africa with "#bringbackourgirls" - people sit around congratulating themselves for how clever they are the parallels on the left to what happened in the lead up to WW2 scare the heck out of me - history is reframed or rewritten, dissenting voices are silenced and labeled as "hate speech" and the use of gang tactics and violence are justified (see antifa) Fascism is repackaged and repurposed. And no I'm not talking about drum corps. This is an aside. The answer is: the girls never came back.

Earlier this season GD supported the crap that Phantom was going through. Through so much of the season he has been an incredible contributor to the discussion here. So much less fighting than usual in past seasons. Those of you who live here day-to-day can acknowledge this. Others will not admit this. George has a different opinion on things. You agree, or you don't. The gang up is why I so hate social media. It's interesting that Cadets is so associated with Bernstein because so much of the current online battles is parallel to Sharks Vs. Jets. Thanks. I agree the "gang" up is quite interesting. I've always come at things from a different direction - probably why I was sped through public education so quickly. They wanted to be rid of me... lol As far as G7 - I agree with the proposal - but not the sales job. Evolution has fits and starts... G7 is much like "punctuated equilibrium" - the best ideas have been selected/incorporated and drum corps is far healthier and better for it there's much more to be done "World Class" should be broken into "World Class" and "National Class" "Open Class" should become "Regional Class" 3 championships awarded We'll get there. #babysteps Edited September 16, 2017 by George Dixon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
