keystone3ply Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Oof. But what is the credibility of "MAASIN" (Marching Arts Access, Safety, and Inclusion Network) & why have we never heard of the organization? Are they sanctioned by DCI or do they need to be endorsed by DCI? In their statement, it sounds like The Troopers are questioning the group's credibility? (They may be great; I'm just asking.)

Does the MAASIN organization know the identity of the anonymous allegations & are withholding their identity to the public as they might be in a criminal investigation? What is there vetting process, etc? Edited January 19, 2021 by keystone3ply cx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the world of "social media justice", that's not the standard protocol. They maybe a great organization, but I don't see much evidence of any criminal, legal, or judicial backgrounds on their 'meet the member' page. I'm just asking because I don't know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting question. In my own reading of the documents, the sexual misconduct allegation is the main issue that would have a potential legal impact. I am not an attorney, so that is just my take. As for the rest...a lot of it reads as griping by members who were disenchanted with their marching experience. That can happen to anybody for many reasons. For the Troopers, it seems like a "Have you stopped beating your wife" kind of thing. How do they answer griping without giving it credence...really, why would they even try. I don't have the negative feeling about their response others seem to have. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Mod hat here... Please refrain from making personal attacks. State your POV on the topic without resorting to disparaging other DCP members. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keystone3ply Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Again, they maybe a great organization. They could very well save the Marching Arts industry & help protect individuals that choose to participate from any harm. But it looks like there will be some major legal litigation between this organization & the organizations to which they accuse via social media. I'm sure MAASIN has an attorney on retainer or on staff? Edited January 19, 2021 by keystone3ply cx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
