I dunno who this guy is, but he's annoying. And he's using AOL. I'm mildly curious if we could get him banned by sending lots of mail to AOL. Anyways, Is there anything we can do to get him off of the Delphi website since he's obviously not part of FIRST? And possibly get him banned from the website too? And is there anyway we can keep this from happening in the future?

I doubt AOL will do anything about him as they have a strict privacy policy. Hopefully we can get someone at the Delphi site to monitor the board for ridiculous posts like that one.

We monitor the forums as best we can.

I have and will continue to remove posts that are not appropriate.

Prevention for future post? That is being taken care of.

To all the webpage users: We, the Chief Delphi web team would like to share our apologies with our faithful users. We have eliminated a few inappropriate posts and are sorry we weren't able to remove them sooner. Our site has been very respectable over the years and its a shame that someone (we know who you are) has infiltrated our friendly confines with such garbage. We will continue to try to monitor the site (as best we can). Please keep posting - there's only so much we can do and still keep it an open forum for ALL FIRST teams to utilize.

Just a few things to add.

Just a few things to add.

: I have been accused of being an old fashioned 20th century fosile but I believe that youngsters today practice what they vision and with all the filth and violence that bombards the young minds of today its evident that some are practicing what the see. The rise in " School shootings " for one.

As a high school student, i feel that such events occur not so much as a direct result of the violence teens witness on tv, but rather from the emptiness with which they are left as a result of mainstream media telling them that they have to be something they can never be. If society could overcome the power which pop culture holds, then i think many problems would be solved.

: As far as me missusing this forum, I think this forum is exactly what it is, a place to express ones opinions, thoughts and views but if we all agreed with each other then we would be nothing but sheep.

I'll take that one step further and say that if everyone agreed based upon their own formed opinions, it would be utopia. However, if they all agreed based upon second hand information, so much like most youth in america these days, then yes they would be sheep.

: I defend and respect your opinions of my post however the need for "expressive" language is not neccesary, possibly you picked it up while viewing one of those video's that your defending as being "not offensive".

I refer you to my previous post about morality being open to interpretation. Besides, i'm fairly certain "frig" isn't even a word.

: Who died and made you in charge of who stays and who should leave........

I think what he was actually saying was that leaving is the equivalent of a tv's off switch, and if you were that offended by an accident, then turn it off.

: : "your words leave a sour taste in my mouth"

Man, don't get all bent out of shape over what some random person in another part of the country thinks of you.

Well, I agree that the video was distasteful, but what's done is done. There's no point brooding in the past.
Even then, it wasn't Dean's fault...he was in front of the screen when the video was shown.
It was an accident and accidents always occur.
That's bout it.

I don't know what that was about, but it sure didn't sound right, and I really don't think it belongs in FIRST or on this board. Is there anything we can do to get rid of it?

Don't bother with this guy. He's obviously just looking for attention. If you don't give him that then he'll go elsewhere.

Nick,
Although I am not one to point fingers, your eagerness to criticize Dean and those who disagree with your opinions are nothing but shameful. I am sure that Dean never intended for those videos to be shown. All he can do is apologize, which he did, and if you were there to hear it you would have seen that Dean was genuinely sorry. What more do you want him to do? He cant take back what happened. You repeatedly mention your niece who came from England and how appalling it was for her to see that video ; have you ever seen whats on TV and the newsstands in England? (anyone spending any amount of time in England has seen undergarments and much much more)You also said that it wasnt just this one video that you found offensive; where were you when those earlier offensive videos were being shown? why didnt't you say anything? You could have prevented that final video from being shown to the 15,000 people that saw it, therefore I believe you are partly to blame Nick. In closing of my thoughts Nick, shame on you for being so quick to criticize Dean and all the other people who worked to make this the magnificent event that it was, and thats exactly what it was; nothing less than magnificent.
