maturity?
we're a lot,
comprised of fringe!
immaturity is our grace.
coin in our empty pockets.
how dare this aspect
of our culture be challenged!
bridwell. porter. shipley.
pratt.
i could go on and on,
naming our icons whom
led lives decorated with misunderstanding,
as defined by popular culture...
ed.
ed.
your intelligence is astounding.
your i.q. thru the skylight.
your analytics as applied
to our's collective misunderstanding
is magnificent.
ed's maturity is enough.
the wrest of us garlic sticks
should jest carry on without
regard for mamma's manners.

I'm simply going to continue pursuing my Quixotic quest to transform Wayne County into the next Bishop. Prana is gonna sponsor the new website, and Mungeclimber is gonna conduct clinics on how to survive the tribulations of Choss. When they turn out the lights at Supertopo, by God I'm gonna make the last post!

Yes! I will quote Todd's thoughts, which mirror my own.
The key to supertopo success is to only go to posts that interest you;...don't take anything too seriously, and remember that the internet is not even real........I like supertopo.....but I only open only a handful of posts.......It's like a buffet;....only eat the food you like......Your years old climbing and insight is valuable here, Roger......lurk on, but throw a snowball when need be...
I do agree that ST seems a little ------crappy? chaotic? High-School? at times----but then a great story or adventure is posted.
I make some more popcorn and hang on.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, n00b. They're leavin' the light on for you over at rocklimbing.com. Berg Heil!

Why are you jumping on a fellow climber? Simple Question! I have never tried to run other climbers down. Take care, Hugh

I like you Brokendown, you have a few good points except... Well, immaturity sometimes visits even the most mature and intelligent folks at times. I can't hold those moments against the majority.
Life is weird. As for TR specifically... Well, experience helps folks mature. In many ways she need the input, the experience "to grow" and this site might be helping her find those building blocks.
Like I said, life is weird.

But recently, the whole atmosphere has changed to one of extreme negativity towards others. ...since too many self appointed know-it-alls immediately begin piling on if the view expressed doesn't fit the going norm. The responses rapidly degrade to personal attacks on intelligence, perceptions, and degradation of individuals.
 please site some examples.
There is another option… Don't take anything written on a screen personal.
What's that old line about best intention not going unpunished?
Honest, I'd not like this place as much if it was soft and cuddly like a pillow, but then again I'd never expect it to be… its a climbers forum and climbers ain't too soft and fluffy… with a couple of exceptions… you know who you are.
The business of t*r doing a nuke-bomb of ChrisMac's website struck me as the epitome of immature and self-righteous zealotry.
sure, it may have been. and certainly one sure fire way of voicing an opinion/slowing discussion of boobs. The unelected moderator had her say on a single thread… and got shown the door. It is what it is.
ChrisMac has spent his time and his money providing us with a great forum.
Are you sure about this? I bet (totally guessing here) that CMac spends little to operate this website and would go so far as to say he get's paid more through running the site than he pays out month after month… but I could totally be wrong, but I'd have to see proof to believe otherwise.
I don't know t*r, but in an infantile hissy-fit, she crossed the line in the sand from expressing her views to a form of destructive vandalism. A friend remarked to me in a PM that t*r was in her early 30's, going on 14. And was also described as a "drama queen," which all I can say is...if the shoe fits, she'd better get it on.
Didn't the OP start out by saying "The responses rapidly degrade to personal attacks on intelligence, perceptions, and degradation of individuals."….
Pot… meet kettle?
It's only human to occasionally get tide up in ones on mind and feel that the world owes one an apology of some sort. And sitting in the armchair on monday we can all point fingers and say how it could have been done better.
But then again…. nobody's that human.
Cheers, hope you get back to posting again some time.

Just one thing Brokedown, we all know that some of the stuff here can occasionally be not that great. But if people that love the outdoors and have actual rock, mountain, ice, water, wilderness experience and great stories.....well if they leave this forum, so many out there will be the poorer for it. Poorer just because a few f'ddd the place up. Don't let the negative out weigh the positive. Just a thought.
Peace and Joy to you BDC, lynnie

Lynnie-
I'm breaking my "vow of silence" again to answer; I simply said I was going to STFU for a while and boycott certain threads and responses. I'm lurking, but will continue to speak out IF IT MIGHT DO SOME GOOD! Gawd! It must be the Winter doldrums taking over.
Jingy-
And by the way re: kettle/black. You may read more carefully about most of what I said was quoting another unnamed member.

"It's a great place to get yer spelling and grammar checked!"
I wish you people would step up and check mine. I commit bad English here all the time, and only rarely does someone ever call me on it.
BrokenDownClimber,
If you're going to back away from the Taco for a bit, winter is the time to do it. A number of the people posting here have real fragile minds, and they tend to lose all self control after being cooped up indoors for longer than they like. ( or at least that's the excuse they will use to justify their loss of self control )
It's only a small percentage of the folks on here who surrender their self control, but it can sometimes represent enough of a critical mass to make visiting here more of an irritation than entertainment. Winter seems to always be that time, year after year.

I met BDC at Facelift, had cow with him and the rest of the herd. Bunch of mavericks, listen to them rant! The pack mentality. Bastards. I love you guys, like in Wayne's World, so there, pussies. AT LEAST BDC HAS A PAIR AND IS COURTEOUS ENOUGH TO TELL US WHY HE'S LEAVING, RATHER THAN PULL OUT WITH A NUKED THREAD BEHIND HIM, fer cryin' out loud.
So chill the f*#k out and go back to wanking if you got nothing positive to say, I say.
We all seem to get along well enough at the YP campground. Little upset the folk and we had a great time, and Roger contributed in a very large way...
The net's totally different. NO SO-CALLED SOCIAL CONVENTIONS HERE, TOO ROWDY!
I do care you are not going to post, BDC, but you are free, a climber, and twenty-one. Good lurking, hope to see you in the Fall...
