So, it is ok to give the sex offender, after serving time, a second shot at raping more students but not a third; that sounds like a really great philosophy to say to the second kid who gets raped due to the second chance the offender had to be around students.

DCI Petitioner Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 I'm not sure these arguments are helping the issue anymore. Sharing the petition on social media will be a better use of everyone's time. If someone doesn't like the petition, that's fine. They don't have to sign it. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we are on almost page 40 of a thread and people are pulling up a post from page 3 to continue an argument, you have to wonder what the motivations are.

It helps the issue by showing where those who are directly involved in DCI events actually stand on the issue. And some who post here that oppose the petition are 'directly involved' in DCI events.

I think the purpose of the thread was to ask people to sign the petition, not to provide a means to endlessly harass individuals with a different point of view.

This is not personal, and I do not want to get this thread locked. That said, the person being pressed to defend the opposition of the petition is actually 'directly involved' in DCI events. And that direct involvement is both important and relevant as to why the belief exists that DCI should stay out of matters such as what is being requested in the petition.

Jeff Ream Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 8 hours ago, RetiredMusTeach said: Interesting that this morning when I signed the petition, there were only about 150+ names. Just checked and it's up to 717. The OP's calm explanations and Terri's courage are what influenced me to be proactive. I love young people. I love drum corps. I want all drum corps participants to have a great experience. So I signed. I shared the link to this thread to the DCP Facebook page 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI: You, along with probably 95% of all posters, are likely on the George Dixon, '"I am going to ignore you list". I’m not sure that’s even his real name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
