Ha ha! The real world and the Taco are completely separate, except for Big Mike who straddles the divide like the Colossus of Rhodes.

For me this place is just a microcosm of the real world. But one is even more accountable here since the words are recorded. I do enjoy the ability to be able to learn from others in different parts of the world, and gain immensely from the knowledge of all things climbing which is extremely rich here on the taco!

Big Mike...

You have both my admiration and respect.

Anastasia, wow! Little old me? ;) thanks. I just try and treat others as human beings... Pretty simple really. I am human also though and sometimes I get a little carried away as well.. Like I read recently, the important thing is to realize when you're being a dickwad and make amends. ;)

Merry Christmas!!!! Sorry a bunch of supertopo can't figure out one night of happy. I get cussed out and personal messages against my family etc... when I comment on super topo news. Nice tolerant folks! Keep smiling my friends just "why do you want more cash, that is rude and wrong"

werner is an ascended master. i'm not sure if that's above or below deity. on supertopo, we all begin as avatars, which gives us a head start on this process.

so burchey is tom cruise? that means we see his double out climbing, right? that would be ron kauk.

it only took one picture with a can of miller genuine draft for me to loose all, i mean all, of my respect for jebus. it went away faster than healyje's for TC.

I guess I'm too old to care what people think of my opinions, so I see no utility in keeping them anonymous. Besides, when I meet fellow ST'ers, it's as if we're already friends.

Interesting John, as someone who has grounded, thoughtful opinions it just may be that you are not concerned about ridicule.

Most recently, the Southern Arizona(S.A) Super Lurker called me out at the Stronghold. That was a good connection to make.
Does the red beard and black chihuahua really give me away?

It's a trip, and a good reminder that what we share here is public.

We've had our words in the past, and no doubt I was a jerk, but I consider you a friend, in the stupidtaco sense. I for one care about what you think... and actually... I've been meaning to ask you for any literature/references on assigning economic value to ecosystem services and resources. I thought of you several times while teaching an Environmental Systems class, which emphasized the ecological, environmental, and social aspects of sustainability. If I do it again, maybe I will try to get you as a guest lecturer!

Thanks, Wes. I feel the same way about you, although I don't remember your being a jerk -- merely vehement.

Anonymous posters on a climbers forum, a culture that admires boldness, are bottom rung tossers, coward.

Can you spell Hypocrisy?

I've met a few people at the crags who have read my posts and like them, which is kind of fun. Usually this leads to a day of climbing and good conversation with people.

At the last Facelift, I got a hell of a lot of "Really glad you're here and not dead" comments from fellow 'Topians, which beats hearing the opposite.

It's an interesting dynamic to meet someone in the real world that is a bit of a troll on the boards, and find out they aren't that bad after all. I have also seen the opposite though, so in the end I guess it takes all kinds to make the world go 'round.

And Jeremy, I don't have any idea who you are, but my impression of you thus far is that you really need to grow up. Have no idea what the kid did to piss you off so bad, but maybe you should either take some real action on it or stfu? Just saying.
