You start a conversation about one thing and it always veers off in a different direction. It's a balance to be sure. I think it is fine when things veer off a little for a few posts, or when a thread is peppered with fun little semi-relevant things here and there. The problem with interjecting politics that are not relevant to the topic, however, is that people won't ever stop arguing back and forth and the topic is completely lost. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just assuming we have somewhat of a collective though going in the same direction that we was appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it would be deserved and sometimes not. But every corps should be worried about their public relations. This stuff going on at Pioneer sounds like it should be public flogging. When you have a director who is purposefully being a you know what and unashamed of it. Public flogging worked with a certain corps in the Northeast when it was deserved. Heck, that was the ONLY thing that worked. I tried to do things quietly six years ago about a sex offender. No one listened except one conscientious college president. From the drum corps people, I got threats and intimidation. Squeaky wheel and all that...it works. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And doubt if the corps know who is posting on reddit or stuff would really hit the fan. I am all for things hitting the fan. I don't buy into that "not allowed to post here part". Posting anonymously here is something a fifth grader would be able to do in their sleep. Considering the MMs are among the brightest bulbs on the tree, it's a walk in the park for any of them to spoof this site. Could it be they choose reddit to steer away from individuals who may have their own lively hoods in mind that fear change and may not have their best interests in mind, reporting everything to the hive mind? Are you smarter than a 5th grader, me no and I am lightyears behind our MMs. Edited July 29, 2018 by Bluzes typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have even been part of that mess a few times. This is not just a DCI thing, Bands, as well as Winter programs, have discussed this with members or potential members. YES, one can find a way around it and are smart how to do this BUT if caught after warned it usually doesn't turn out good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usual reason given is don't want members to read nasty reviews or comments and have it get in their head IIRC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
