"I can't encourage you to stick around. The general tone of Supertopo has dropped to the level of a snotty 8th grader. Bullies predominate, and there is a common theme of cowardice- Rather than think and discuss ideas in a respectful manner, many choose to snipe and then run and hide, glorying in their chicanery. Ho Ho Ho--I sure put that guy down--Ho Ho Ho. This results in a thinning out of people like yourselves who certainly have better things to do than be shouted down. The end result is a higher concentration of rude people and an increase in their tactics."
Bingo.
I came here thinking this was THE place. Now, I,m just another disillusioned couch rat that cant tell the difference between dye and die, ore an apostrophe and a coma. Maybe I should invest more time in an english grammar class and a dictionary so i dont offend y,all with such blatant abuse of the subjunctive.
I would go climbing if I only had $150/hour, a partner, or a bag of weed to entice some sucker to belay.

"Go climbing with that Ron A dude."
+1000
Takes time to find climbing partners you click with, but when you do, there are many great memories to be made, hang in there.

Yeah, it all takes time. Mine is mostly spent working, and most people seem to think there,s a screw loose in my head, so I,ve pretty much given up on meeting people here.
Try to look at this thread more as a "Here,s why I don,t give a sh#t about your ethics anymore" thread, as opposed to a "look at me" thread. Maybe it can answer part of the "why in god,s name would anyone do that?" kind of question.

Rodent boy, I was you in the eighties. Get out there, save yourself, nobody gonna climb with you if you ain't climbin'.
Prove you need company and want company. The choice is ENTIRELY YOURS! Learn from Dingus.

I hate to be the one to break it to you hobo and hillrat, but this is not even close to new around here. All the childishness has been here since I arrived, but that was only 2006. So I guess back in the good ol' days in 2002 when some threads were getting like, 3 posts, it was more civil.
There's a lot more folks here now, which means even more kids and arseholes.
But the greatness hasn't disappeared either. Witness the Baffin, Patagonia first ascent type threads. Also the historical threads with FA guys participating, like Jello on Metanoia, Alpinista 55 on the AK Range, The current Widows Tears thread with Chapman and Worral both.
Don't be a baby, just pick through to the stuff you like and help keep the golden yummies bumped as much as you can. You CAN make a difference!

The snotty bratty pseudo-hostile put-on attitude here is what keeps me coming back. It's pretty much one big joke, and is entirely reflective of the climbing culture I've spent the last 40 years relishing. If this place ever turns into a nancyboy ball-cuppling tea party, I'm gone.
