JerryBaumchen 1,047 #106 April 8, 2010 Hi Mr. M, Wow, you hit a sore spot; 5 pages of posts in less than 24 hrs. Way to go!!!!! There is a lot of 'attitude' here; and I, for one, do not like it. The young should be treated as not knowing, and we, that means all of us, should try to remember how stupid we were when we were just getting started. On the other hand: When a post is started with a smart-a** comment, it gets what it deserves. I prefer to take each newbie question as being serious; but since I do not instruct & never have ( by choice ), I usually try to refrain from replying. As for the old: Try the SEARCH function. What a crock. I have never here, nor any other forum that I frequent, have found it to worth be a d***. But this is just my opinion. At the end of the day, we do not hate you; heck, we might be just a little jealous of your youth. Best of luck here & everywhere, JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #114 April 8, 2010 Good grief can you not see the sarcasm in Johnny's posts. Johnny don't worry about "dorkzone.com". Occasionally there is some serious talk on here, but for the most part it is useless banter not at all reflective of the real world. Tell you what Johnny, I have a spare BASE rig, a wingsuit and an ultra high performance canopy you can borrow anytime. What do you say we go out do some drugs, drink some booze, chase some skirts and when we are done let's find ourselves a tall building in the middle of town and show the dolts here on the "dorkzone.com" how to have some fun. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

surfbum5412 0 #121 April 8, 2010 QuoteIt's a simple question...most of you old turds are assholes to new people on here There is a totem pole is ALL sports that I have played. Men create hierarchies and are continually trying to one-up their male counterparts.In skydiving, experienced jumpers will one-up a newbie by advising him on how to participate in the sport. Do not be naive and think this is an altruistic gesture. The person with the information (superior) gives info to person without info (inferior). Try refusing the superiors info and watch him get irritated and gossip how you are unsafe (do not adhere to rules of group); you will see that his motives were not altruistic. In a nutshell, just walk away from random advice givers and get your info from someone you trust and like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
