BRASSO Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) As we can tell, a few DCP'ers still want to derail the thread to make it other than what the focus should be, ie.. a petition drive to get the decision makers in the Corps and within DCI itself to do more than it currently is doing in providing a safe environment for marchers. Any attempt to make the thread as a tic for tac between DCP posters.. some of that going way back between them.... should be disregarded as most likely a deflection technigue. These DCP'ers would like this thread to be about their longstanding gripes with other posters on DCP, and by extension their dislike for this petition drive. Its neither however. We should not allow such distractions, imo... its been a civil discussion so far the last 24 hours, and for the most part, stayed on topic. Most people seem supportive of the petition drive, and its importance. Even the ones who do not support the petition, are being respected with their desire to not support it ( for one reason or another ). We've come a long way here on DCP on this thread in the last 48 hours... where initially, the petition, its originator, and its supporters were under a lot of crticism here on DCP by some posters. Thats mellowed a lot in these 48 hours, so progress it seems to me is being made here on DCP with this. Most other social media sites have been very supportive of this petition, and right from the outset.

Reading the quote you used prompted me to respond to the exact same qoute you used. If those are distractions, I was merely following your lead on that one.

But tho we know the same people that doesn’t mean your name is really George Dixon. See how that can be turned against you and your argument? and given many of the issues you have championed here and on RAMD that you want to push this aside is confusing to say the least. More and more band circuits have clear cut statements and policies that blow away anything dci has done on this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Charlie Brown - take your pick And clearly your real name is Jeff "not a lawyer" Ream Bands/Circuits is not a parallel to the drum corps organization/DCI relationship >> it would be impossible to police/enforce and would be nothing but an ineffective and irresponsible assumption of liability. There are local and federal laws on the books which apply directly to each drum corps organization AND to DCI. DCI isn't a law-enforcement organization, the FBI is.

Jim Schehr Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 The decision to sign the petition or not is pretty simple. You’re either for or against sexual abuse and harassment of marching members. All the mansplaining and amateur legal jargon isn’t going to change opinions. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couching someone who doesn't sign a petition as being "for" sexual abuse is beyond ridiculous. The only thing that separates this from practically the most horrendous personal attack I have ever read on DCP is that it lacks the courage to name the people it accuses.
