Jim….. I am often surprised with your posts here. I think you keep generating a certain response from STers that could be different, frankly if you altered your tack. And quite a bit more wonderful and in line with your hopes and desires. And I realize this is surprising you or a conundrum. And as the next post after this one remarks (ß Î Ø T Ç H), this OP is bizarre and makes me worry about you.
If not to merely troll or get a conversation rolling by devil’s advocacy, these posts of yours are often quite sour, often narrower than I know you to be in person and after four decades. The difference between you in person---and you are utterly fabulous Jim--- and this Donini persona on the Forum is quite large. It seems you play the codger here a lot and then complain you are pinned as one. Right?
But you are not a codger, after all and for christ’s sake, but still a brilliant creative athlete and good friend to thousands. I think you could have a very different experience on ST if you took a good look at your methods and assumptions here and tried a warmer approach, the approach you always take in person. There are tens of thousands of members reading this stuff, you know, and they want to know about your nearly fifty years of amazing climbing experiences, even if just bit by bit.

Death is here, it is all around us. Get over it. We are creatures of life, that is all there is and one thing I know about life is that it's about action. It's about doing, moving, making things happen and we should be doing our best until that ability is gone.

Old Jim answered for him and loudly told me he just saw her over at the Village Store that afternoon looking for the biggest cucumber she could find.
That's pretty funny. I almost answered a question for Jim tonight but held off - LOL! Jim is going to step in where Beckey leaves off.

I thought supertopo was for old farts complaining about young people. Where do I find the threads where it's the other way around? Do I need a special password?

You just come off as insecure and abrasive in so many of your posts Donini . Reacting to an idiot like Weschrist just brings you down to his level ...

I think Mr Donini intends much of his dialogue as tongue-in-cheek humor. He's more approachable to the hoi-polloi than most of the high-priests of climbing.
He rarely fails to answer questions from newcomers about technique, equipment or climbing areas he's familiar
Sometimes he plays the irascible, cranky part...but its a mask covering a wry sense of humor...and usually shows clemency to habitual forum provocateurs.
Cannibals eating their high priests is bad, bad karma !

Were you attempting to be as wrong as possible in a single post?

I think The Haan, Tami, & The Delhi Dog are onto something.
I dunno trolling. I've always fished the smaller waters.
