Republicanism is the root infrastructure of all humanity.
It's weaved into everything including climbing.
It's stupid narrow minded morons on this site who think climbing is only on it's own independent island .......

Rather than increase the political content on page 1, as many have requested, perhaps this thread might be moved to the republicans thread.

That Bohemian Girl bit is a good read. Thank you, Tony Bird.
I'll refrain from analysis, though.

i hate to put it this way, but i find at least 50 percent of the climbing content on supertopo to be, how can i say it, way lame. that's the nicest i can come up with.
Wow, drama queen or what.
You bag on the OT threads, and bag on the climbing threads.
Tony, I've read some posts of yours that were interesting and poignant. But here, quit the over-analysis. Who cares how many posts _your_ topic gets? Unless you somehow measure your worth by SuperTopo acceptance of your ideas for generating responses.
In other words, give it a rest.

Classic wisdom from the great one:
It's stupid narrow minded morons on this site who think climbing is only on it's own independent island .
Morons should book a flight to the Island for Misfit Climbers
and get the help they need.
Its only a few miles from the Island for Misfit Toys.

i thought 50 percent was a nice, equable proportion. i stopped subscribing to climbing and rock & ice years ago because a lot of issues were near 100 percent lame.
ST offers something no magazine, not even one with a big budget for fancy photography and professional writing, will ever offer, and that's the opportunity to participate and interact on a daily basis. with a magazine, you have a 1/10th percent chance of getting your letter to the editor published, and that'll be two months after you send it in.
this new magazine, california climber, has one thing going for it--i might actually be able to afford the gas for a trip to one of the featured places. but, being a writer myself, i never spend much time looking at pictures, and i gravitate to controversy. controversy is like a good boulder problem--quite satisfying if it can be (re)solved.
i think dr. F ought to consider one thing. his current threads are not original threads. one was sort of a phoenix to the old "why do so many people believe in god? (serious question)" by our sadly departed juan de fuca, the other was a second swatch of republican bashing, both of those orchestrated by himself. when threads get "reincarnated", they don't attract the same people in the same way. i had a pretty good time in the old god thread, but the new one got opaque for me rather quickly. i suggest that he nuke them more frequently and try to redefine the issues in new threads. different cowpies draw different flies.
hey, 70 posts here the first day. personal best!

It's not my fault, I am not responsible for the content
I am just a Name,
it's not me
I Yam what I Yam
For the record I think DrF rocks and is one of the best reasons to visit SuperTopo.
Keep fighting the good fight brotha.

Sorry T-bird
I'm Not allowed to nuke any of my threads
The couchmaster got mad at me for nuking them before
And Now he won't post on any of my threads, right Couch?
If I nuke them now, he won't post to any thread that I ever posted on!!!!!
The Couchmaster Rules must be respected...
he may have the Red Button Now

couchmaster is indeed an entity to be feared. however locker was recently dubbed "the chairman of the bored" and may now be the one on the top of the dogpile. i don't think locker would demur posting anything anywhere anytime. when he gets tired of sitting at the computer, he goes outside and puts more posts around his sheep corral.
hiya, go-B--wanna go climbing sometime? i know a new, secret area, almost as close as stoney point, certified choss-free. if i say more, someone will shoot me.
