Norton,

I would feel very badly taking your money, so I must decline your offer. Tell you what, if Obama wins, I will donate $5k to the climbing non-profit of your choice.

CRAGS! We have successfully opened Auburn and have ongoing continuing costs. In addition, we are a truly local to Sac/Bay climbers group that will make a difference right here where you climb!

Would have to be something that smacks of Marxism, how about putting it into The Pit :)

um,

Fatty got himself banned, TWICE by Chris Mac

his getting himself banned should NOT get him out of his pledge to donate $5000

he said it's my choice which non profit gets his money

I am leaning to YOSAR, that ok with you guys?


edit: Locker, relax, the fat lady hasn't sung yet

Norton, whom do you give the $5000 to if Romney wins? Does Fattrad get to choose that?

Locker, Obama will comfortably kick Mitten's ass with over 300 Electoral votes

Ron, that is BS.

Fatty acted like a huge dick! He knew where Cmac drew the line and stepped over it. He even got a second chance and pulled the same BS. The fact that he got the boot for acting like a dick has nothing to do with him paying off on a bet that he made.

If he welches on the bet it will say a lot about his lack of character. I for one fully expect him to welch, but will be happy to be proved wrong.

let $5,000 by the readmission fee to the Taco. to the climbing non-profit of Norton's choice, in Fatty's own words.

Ron, Jeff is a friend of mine. I don't think he feels a victim of the behind the scenes shenanigans you suggest. (You can ask him on fb, he's in the house there right now. Im sure) He was banned for what he said in front of us all. He's dogmatic about what he believes and willing to get shut down for it. I don't agree with any of it,but gotta hand it to him for his tenacity.

But back to the point. I think Yosar is a good place to put his money, and I'm sure he agrees. But let's keep the suggestions coming in. Not like he's likely to burp up a check tomorrow,or anything. We have time to pick the right one.

Not that I get a vote, but $5k of Fatty's money to a worthwhile cause to let him back in is ok by me. Provided he's on a short leash.... The endless politard threads and pics of his jacket were tiresome. Aside from that, as a mostly lurker didn't mind him one bit. That said, did he have non-politard posts? :-/

Maybe it could go to the weed fund for dope SAR folks in Colorado and Washington, now that's kosher in those places.

50% YOSAR, 50% YCA. If paid, he gets a conditional readmittance to the SuperTopo nuthouse as a "reward".

he is a good guy though

In person,

not on-line.

Big difference.

Bring him back to Facelift,

but not to Supertopo.

yes - bring fatty back!!

i will donate 100 bucks to the ASCA if ya bring our friend fatty back

give it to the ASCA - it is the most important of all

That's the spirit!

We should take advantage of this situation to do a non-partisan act of good, that we can all feel good about.

Perhaps we could set a goal of MATCHING Fat's "contribution", in solidarity.

I will also match 100 bucks.
