Hate is a super strong word. Let it go.

Also the reason why it seems like there are more cases of this incidents is because the media takes on the stories and you hear about everyone. As in the past the media did not really care.

That takes humility and maturity. Hope it meets with an equal level of respect. Well done.

The safety mechanisms? All good having great harnesses but if the wheels come off it just means you won't fall out on the way down...

In a perfect world I see it like buying a car - if you can't afford the maintenance and ongoing costs you can't afford the car. Unfortunately things happen and costs blow out, something else loses money etc and this changes plans. However, I am a big believer that spending money makes you money (eg how the Westfirls shopping centres spend millions on renos every 10-15 years or so). On reading my post I'm not sure what my point is but I'm trying to be a good forum person people thing. I might have had a few wines.

Who insulted who? And how? Are you referring to Rappa's completely apt description of the guy as a Moron? Push - i've got news for you - that wasn't an insult. That was a perfect description of an idiot who wanders into a ride envelope, out of bounds, risks his life to take photos, brags about it, then gets all butt hurt when we don't react with absolute awe, and instead shout him down as the moron he is... so he continues to defend himself despite nobody supporting his position. Believe me - theres enough people on these boards that know who Rappa is - so there's no anonymity there. I'm with Brad on this one. Too many 'do-gooders' who stand up for others who don't need (and didn't ask) to be stood up for. The guy is PROUD he got banned from DW. He Brags... and continues to post the pictures he got shot down for... I don't think he wanted you to stick your brown nose into it... YOU feel upset about it, and YOU have felt wronged often enough on these boards even when stuff has had NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. Stop trying to be everyone else's knight in shining armor. It doesn't suit you. By all means stand up for yourself... but your whiny-assed baby approach to defending others doesn't earn you a shred of dignity... and each time you complain about the actions of others (especially those who are the moderators and leaders - who make the rules here) you just encourage more of us to laugh at you.
