+OzzieSan Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 I noticed you didnt log your find. Or are you just pissin about someone elses log entry? Get over it. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 1) Why did you even bother to spread the fame for this log far and wide? Certainly you don't want to spread the notariety. 2) He spelled it wrong. Wherever you go there you are. Quote Link to comment
+Breaktrack Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 Despite what anyone else has to say, I too can be offended by some things others do. The difference is, I'm not going to sue anyone, or protest, or anything, just state it is offensive and leave it at that. That's the great thing about our country, you have the right to say what's on your mind, and the rest of us have the right to agree or disagree, and state our opinion as well. So there's no need to "get over it." If it bothers you, go ahead and say so, just don't expect anything to be done about it is all. Just my very humble opinion. "Trade up, trade even, or don't trade!!!" My philosophy of life. Quote Link to comment

There's no constitutional right to express your opinion on geocaching dot com. However, the common opinion in this country (America) is that one should be able to voice an opinion at any time, and I'm of that thought. His statement may be shocking, but it's a valid historical reference to make a point. Anyway, you didn't request that the log be removed... you only asked if we were bothered by the log. My answer: No. Jamie Quote Link to comment

Hologram21 Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 It appears that the geocacher was imitating something "Bender" on Fox TV's Futurama might say. Anyway, as distasteful as it might be, a joke is all I think it was intended to be. As the others have already mentioned, "Get Over It!" Quote Link to comment
+MaxEntropy Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 It's merely a hackneyed way of expressing his distaste for being required to follow rules. Yawn. Leave him alone and move on, the poor fellow is a little short of ways to express himself. Unless you're extremely thin-skinned, then feel free to fret over it until you can't sleep at night.

+briansnat Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 I think he's just expressing his frustration with a perceived overly strict enforcement of the rules at geocaching.com. Although I do think comparing the admins here with Nazi Germany might just be a tad over the top.

+Freelens&Mosie Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 It didn't appear to be a hail to the real Hitler, just a reference. What bothers me is that "you" think it should bother me. Why not just email the guy and ask before placing posts like this? I have my own little world. But it's OK...they know me here. Quote Link to comment
TeamTJ Posted February 12, 2003 Author Share Posted February 12, 2003 I'm not saying that anyone should be offended, just asking if anyone was. I didn't bring it up to ruffle feathers or to invoke the "get over its"...Guess I was "just pissin about someone elses log entry..." Whether it was meant to be humor or not, I find it offensive. Sure it's his right to post it, but it's also my right to post back. I'm not thin-skinned, but some things just don't need to be said. Morgan TeamTJ Quote Link to comment
Micqn Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 It really doesn't matter now. I looked at the page and I see nothing that says anything about Hitler. Take it easy Ladies and Gentlemen. Happy. Hunting. Quote Link to comment
Bender Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Now before you people come and hide a flaming sack of poop cache on my front porch, let me explain: I attempted to post a "one time only" cache only to be shot down by King Jeremy. I looked at the FAQ and it said that variations of the game were encouraged, but still Jeremy would not allow a one time only cache. He says the logistics are flawed. I argued that this variation would be like a "Geo-race", that the first geocacher that found it could rehide it and repost the new coords. He added that "one time caches" are off limits. I realize that geocaching is his little invention, but why be so heavy-handed about it? Looks to me like variations are encouraged unless he just doesn't like them. I say those who do not want to find a one time only cache do not have to look for it. Those of us who do want to get to stay off the couch a bit more. I fail to see the problem and i was more than a little po'ed. Don't you people have anything better to do than griping about my griping? The statement in question has been removed, are ya happy now? Bender p.s. i spelled it just as i had planned on spelling it. and thanks for the notariety!! I will be posting one time only caches soon, on my own website. Quote Link to comment

Sounds like what you describe is a moving cache, which are nothing new, or inovative, and most certainly are allowed. I can see though if the cache page was written like your log was how the approvers might not have understood what you meant.
