dbc03 Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 I've noticed a lot of people labeling others as whiners or telling others not to complain about this or that.In all seriousness, is this a web forum or not. I don't see an abundance of profanity or rude remarks. Once in a while yea, but overall no. I think this is a great forum with interesting people to talk about drum corps with. I am the type that likes discussion, even if there are people disagreeing with me. Its what made this country great. Freedom of speech. Now there are people saying to "Get over" this or, "stop whining", "its rude to boo", "don't bad mouth the kids", and "you'd better not talk about this if the Cadets win!!!" Don't tell us what we can or cannot or should not talk about. If you're skin isn't thick enough to argue maybe you should've joined the debate team instead of the band in high school. Is this a web forum or not? If people want to discuss something, they should have every right to say what they want. Many people on this site and in this world are Too "sensitive" and are campaining to block certain topics. I don't agree in trying to tell people what to think or say. If you do, then youre a facsist or just a little weak minded person who doesn't have the strength to argue. I'm being totally serious and honest. I'm almost glad George Hopkins does what he does. It makes things more interesting. Look at all the great discussion its generated. Look what happened when the controversial Rosie Odonell left the show, "The View". The ratings dropped. Can you imagine a bunch of football fans sitting around a table, talking nice about NFL. "Oh lets not bad mouth anyone now, we're all here to have fun, now". And don't give me that, "But they're just kids in DCI, garbage". If it wasn't for the fans buying tickets in hopes of being entertained, there would be no DCI. I invite anyone to disagree with me or support me! By the way, that line about, "Drum Corps died 100 years ago...give me a break, that is completely irrelevant". They are talking about the drum corps they love thats dying I can just imagine you sitting there crying as you typed up this topic. Hah, you call me too sensitive because of a thread that was quite obviously meant to be humorous. Drum Corps Planet is serious business.

comeonfhqwhgads Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 has the WHICON rating gone down any yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburstall Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) has the WHICON rating gone down any yet? No...the "Cadets' should have won" threads are now appearing and it will be a few weeks before the "Cavalier's should have won" threads because of boredom.
