If we were able to go back and look at some back in the day posts here I have made mention to the fact that the first time I was assaulted or abused was at the age of 17

 

I’m sorry to hear you were a victim BITD, that’s horrible, but what are you trying to say here?

Yet you stomp on someone who attempt to expose. Turn around and post up exposé info and create a thread. SMH

yeah i agree. no one should be a victim. if posts were removed, i am sure there's a legal reason as to why. social media may be a great place to air grievances, but the site hosts also have responsibilities to cover their butts on things posted without any kind of collaboration or legal documentation supporting it.....or else they get sued into oblivion

People aren't calling for the demise of drum corps.

People are saying that there needs to be actual accountability, and no amount of weridos saying that victims are to blame for not speaking up sooner to the police or authority figures within corps will change that, thankfully.

Some recent quotes:

"Burn it all down."

"I would say burn it down but they seem to be doing it all by themselves."

"i am really wondering if DCI is worth saving."

"Hopefully dci will do us all a favor and fold"

So DCI = drum corps? Lance said “demise of drum corps” not “demise of DCI”.

“DCI = drum corps” does in the greater context of this “discussion”. Several pages ago I suggested an alternative to DCI and got shot down for the idea. A legitimate question here….ok? Who of any of the posters in this thread are ready to create said alternative to DCI so that drum corps no longer equals DCI?

Maybe you are willing to “know” what everyone else who posted means. I’m not a mind reader so I asked the question

I don't understand the occasional posts here that suggest comments by fans (of various levels of interest) on a social media platform must be accompanied by the willingness to take over or reinvent DCI. We can be both critical and inspiring here without also being responsible for leading revolutions, drafting constitutions, and reinventing this little world.

It's an online discussion board, for Mr. Pete's sake!
