Shack some ass-hole is doing it by bumping the threads and then deleating the bump posts so that no one can see who the bump poster is.
He's been at it for the last few minutes ...... a spineless prick!

I think it was someone who couldn't handle those political threads and became the cry baby who wanted to take the ball home.

Look at that! The political threads are disappearing! Most of the topics are now climbing topics, who woulda thunk?
Hooray! Bump on, mystery man!

While I sympathize with the mystery bumper,
I think it's pretty lame style.

I thought it was pretty funny.
Besides, those threads are all the same. It isn't that hard to bump the ones you want back, or just start another one.

What the hell did you do that for? I didn't find anything wrong with your posts. It's a great thing to be able to read and hear such diverse thoughts that are contributed here.
Just climbing only related posts sure are boring to me ......

I'm sure your motivations for erasing yourself would be interesting ECF. Share them if you would. (Just don't start a new thread for it or it'll disappear when you delete that post)
Peace

Nice to see I'm not the only one who was considering deleting his every post to this forum. One more big one coming though, Lois.

Well, at the risk of more name calling, you sound like the unabomber.

Well Mr. Fool, I am sorry that you are in a snite. High IQ, or not, it is not easy to not be taken seriously, when you are certain that you are right.
However, history has a way of crediting those who called it right. Erasing your rightness says that your redemption will be silent; only a thought to warm you as you shiver with the rest of us as the final, fading light goes out.
But enough of this negative, unkind thinking. Can someone else use your cool moniker? Or can we turn it into a verb and apply it as appropriate?

Thank for taking the time to respond ECF. I would suggest that it would have been easier to fade away and leave the knowledge that you might have posted for those wise enough to listen.
And sometimes knowledge is first denied, but acts as a seed that sprouts when more information comes to reinforce it. We all like to deny uncomfortable facts until, eventually, we're able to accept new views and realities. Nobody likes to think about peak oil now, but when it starts to happen, we'll catch it sooner and won't be as floored.
No worry about serving the undeserving, they keep themselves from benefitting,
And there are mosquitos in lots of awesome places.
But it's your choice. Be well
Peace
Karl

Hey, no worries! I didn't say it to be mean. The world needs more renegade geniuses. Who preferably don't kill people.

Wow.
Mr. Fool, you definitely have a unique perspective on things. However, I think when you compare your decision to delete posts with a fiery monk, you should take a step back, and realize that you are posting on the internet.
The rules are different.
Of course, if you then choose not to post that's a different story.

How many folks debating this have read Tom Friedman's "The World is Flat?" I don't think that Friedman has the last say in how to deal with the world, but he puts a lot of the issues of 9/11 in to context. I recommend it.

Dean wrote "I actually would rather not have to call people morons, but when they say 9/11 was warranted, I have no choice. I guess I could have called you a feckhead.:)"
Fair enough. It would be great if you took the grievances the Muslim world has with the West and itemize why they don't count. (and I'm not saying that they do, just that I suspect that you are in denial of what they even are, they are spelled out in the other threads in the posts that you don't read, the ones longer than a paragraph)
Was the second Iraq war warranted? Would you admit that more of that country was destroyed and more people killed than in 9-11. Does what happened to them count for anything or does their Muslim-ness, and brown-ness put them at a 10-1 ration to the value of American lives, or is it 100-1, or is it less?
It's OK to tell us what you really think. We probably know anyway
Peace
Karl
