"I think somebody took him out of context and slandered him."
Why is you guys never seem to whine like this when the slander is aimed at a Democrat?
Not just a Democrat...but someone who actually served his own country, who gets swiftboated by the campaign of a college-cokehead, draft deferring chickenhawk?

Apogee is what Ryan said untrue? And how many peaks he has summited seems to be politically irrelevant. How does he prove that? He never can.
But 4 dead Americans in Benghazi? Fast and Furious? 22 dead SEALS in Afghanistan? That seems more important. No?

Neitzsche had nothing to do with the Middle East.
“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.”
The point is Romney and Ryan both are notorious liars who want to run the country.

Why do you focus on these deaths? Aren't there a whole lot of others?

Whats sad is that Rick went through and explained everything, even going back and getting Ryan's words and you can't be bothered to read it, instead you just...think... you know the answer.
Can you explain the "under 3 hours" comment on the marathon. I bet you can't. But I also bet you have never ran long distance so wouldn't understand the significance.

Tell that to Yosemite 5.9, an Obama-hater, who created the original thread as a tribute to Paul Ryan.
He also graced us with a Benghazi, I've bumped it for you.

Romney/Ryan do not have a record of unfulfilled promises. Do they?
You want to forget Obama's dreams and promises that are unfulfilled? Kinda disingenuous, bro.

These are the ones Obama clearly has lied about and covered up. DEAD AMERICANS!

After the last episode in the 1920's when the republican party stymied the government's duty to "regulate", it took nearly ten years for the economy to turn around. Obama has bit the bullet to keep us out of another Hooverian disaster by spending as needed to do it. You can fault him if you would rather that the US had gone out of the car business so that your investments might have profited more. On the other hand in a depression you might have ended up making no studio equipment at all and have been out of work.
We all need to be aware of what history can tell us.
I had looked at the history and had bet that there would be a W. disaster. No biggie to see that one coming.

They will after Tuesday.
You saying something does not make it so. More likely it means it is false.
If you want to make a bunch of bullshit statements without any kind of support, it only damages your credibility more.
BTW I haven't said anything about Obama.

What human doesn't have dreams that are unfulfilled, Blue?
As far as promises go, we hear this jive from conservatives all the time - please give an example of Obama PROMISING to do something he hasn't.
No doubt he has not been able to accomplish many things he said he wanted to do in his first term, mostly due to stubborn obstructionism on the right, but to call those things "promises" is typical right wing BS.
Find one quote, ONE, where he actually promises to do something he hasn't.

Chris, please let us know what happened.
The thread acted to widely publicize Supertopo, including on the sites of British newspapers and other international sources.
Seems counterproductive, but you're the owner. We just want to hear from you.

Through the years here on ST, I have read MANY requests from ST'ers to CMac asking for answers and such...
Can't think of a single DIRECT answer/response EVER being given by CMac and company...
GUD luck with THAT one!!!...

OT Marmot is late to the party!
Look guys and gals, it's simple. This site is owned by one person. They make the calls, the end. You rant and rave every time a thread gets deleted, or someone gets banned, hundreds and hundreds of posts that have nothing to do with climbing content. You keep it all over the front page, which really screws up the initial impression of anyone visiting this site for the first time, thinking that it's a climbing site. And these posts have exactly zero impact on the decisions made, and do nothing to change them.
The person that owns this site can delete whatever and whomever they wish, and does not need to offer any explanation for doing so. In fact, I think if Chris did respond, it would set off at least another 200 post shitstorm to whatever he had to say. If I was in his shoes, I would think there was no point in responding. He doesn't need to defend or explain his actions.
Don't like it? Find another site, or start your own. Stop bitching and whining about stuff that you have no control over, and never will. You'll feel a lot better and it will probably make the site look better too.
