right on, Pate. climbing for it's own sake is nearly lost to the enterprise of rate, claim and publish. My friend H found a hob nail laying on the ground on one of our trips to the High Sierra..also some old ring pins, just keeps it all in perspective.

Thanks Karl - you're right. I was lynched by a mob of angry people in what really became a major bitchfest as noted by Hankster

I'm completely over it and I'm not too worried about skippy. As Rokjox observed, skipster pretty much posted on here for 24 hours straight from Saturday to Sunday. This forum seems to be the only thing he or she has really got and that in itself is a sad thing.
Anyway, I thought I had met some of these fine folks at the facelift, but I sure hope I haven't met all of them because if they are the only ones there are to meet, then I'm SOL because I don't think I'll be able to find too many partners in their bunch. The climbing community is a lot bigger in my perspective than what people may have me believe. And I think that's a good thing, because it opens up the possibility of meeting really real, down-to-earth people who aren't pretentious and have ulterior agendas.
Am I sorry about my comment about white supremacists? You betcha! It was a knee-jerk reaction to being cornered and I can honestly say I enjoyed meeting JElezarian, Lynne, Ed H, Tim (ontheedge?), Jeff, Phyllis, Crowley, and many more whose names slip my mind. I made sure to introduce myself with a smile to anyone and everyone there at the facelift but I'm sure the feeling may not have been mutual with some people. But hey, you know, you can't please all the people all the time. And I'm ok with that.
Happy Monday, folks! It's chilly out there so bundle up. Fall is upon us! And yes, I'm going to Vegas, baby!!

I'm not trying to compete with superpowers. I am just trying to hold my own against a mob of people pissed off about a fat chick thread.
Sorry about the thread. It was a joke thread and it's gone.
I come in peace.

Tami - everyone...i mean EVERYONE knows what type of pecker a woman prefers. Seriously, come on...i feel objectified.
Pate - thanks man. I'm the first generation born here in the US so those Afghani genes are not that far removed but I will be the first to admit when I'm wrong. And, like I said in my previous post, I can't make all the people happy all the time, but i'll do my best either way.
And as long as the Union has benefits, I'll join!
Jan - you're right about that. Man, are you right about that.
Jaybro - nope can't make it. I won't be getting over to Indian Rock in the evenings for a while. Sorry about the thread nuke. I think I went a little overboard with the nukes =/ You guys can create a new one anyway, right? It'll be like a fresh start!

I would there was a breakthrough.
But alas:
"I'm completely over it and I'm not too worried about skippy. As Rokjox observed, skipster pretty much posted on here for 24 hours straight from Saturday to Sunday. This forum seems to be the only thing he or she has really got and that in itself is a sad thing. He talks like he's probably got a soul patch too and you know what some people have said about soul patches, and heck you've even got old timers like Jaybro agreeing. "
For some, ridicule is a reflexive response.
Yes we can call it fun. It is a fun designed to be enjoyed by only one however.
By the time of australopithecus we were bipedal in open country( 1,000,000 years after Ardi) and we depended upon the help of our friends help to fight off the big cats.
Now that we no longer need each other for anything we can enjoy ridicule.
Sweet progress.

Ah DMT, DMT.
With Mason805's help the e-community has just been knocking on your front door. That community just got back from a huge effort to integrate itself with the community in Yosemite.
As for the lipstick by the door when I first posted I decided the mistakes I would surely be making must be answered for directly by me. Avatars are silly IMO.
No one can hide for long.
Hardly anyone even tries.
Edit:
You would have had a great time Dingus.
Elsewhere I posted that Walt Ford volunteered he had been coming to Yosemite for 60 years and it was only because of Facelift that he finally got to stay in C4.
That is something climbers need to think on.
We have absolutely no idea how large our community actually is.
The group of people who care about the things we care about is huge.
What should we expect Mason805 (Craig?) to do?
He might just say, "Yeah, that thread was pretty shitty. Sorry about that."
That's all.
No biggie.
Edit:
So that I will not be seen as piling on in the hug fest I will put an apology due here.
When I first read Dingus' post above a small voice said, "What ave we ere?" But I ignored it.
The truth is since the very beginning of this medium Dingus has worked hard and long toward the realization of community. His body of work has no equal.
