Jammer,
You are able to embed video after only 150 posts!
That's impressive, I bet you read the instructions or something. Takes most users at least 200 posts to figure that out.
Congratulations, your first 5.8+ post.
Keep it up & you'll be redposting 5.10b's and postsighting 5.9 in no time. F*#k, just write a TR & I'll call u a 12a poster.
If you don't get banned first that is.
Most important thing to remember when runout, posting on the sharp end:
Just watch out for the mouse chord behind your leg & you'll be fine.

Looks more like a grammicci logo to me :) Not the image, in question, btw.

Yeah, does look a lot like it, doesn't it? Except the Gramicci guy appears to be slam dancing, while the Voo-fitti appears to be chopping some naughty bolts. Maybe Mike G. painted it there? To drum up business and all? (Wait, he doesn't even own it anymore does he?)

What a bunch of hyper choadlicking babblefvckers.
Get over your petty hang ups and give it a rest already.
The world doesn't care that you are offended that nobody respects your opinions.

Hopefully this back and forth goes over to the Friday Night Posting While I'm Drunk. I think verbal fists and maybe even a knife would be pulled. Never seen Jaybro get into it with anyone. Us climbers can be so serious about the simplest things. Cheers...

I have no idea what's going in with this thread, and not about to actually read through it, but I would like to reinforce JJ's assertion above - that there is the mark of the Juggalo.
Maybe this was covered earlier, given the OP, but swastikas are still used as symbols in a bunch of eastern religions, whereas that ICP ax guy has no redeeming qualities at all. I believe it symbolizes only retardation.
Behold, the decline of Western Civilization:

That's not kokpelli, it's a logo, even if it's not, grammicci
Kokpelli has a flute
So no one has that photo of the rest and black swastika on Sherman granite?

I would never buy a product with zBrown in the name, but Buster is altogether a different story. After all, his shoes are for boys and girls.
Don't ask if I would eat the dog if I was starving. Ask yourself would you?

OK just checked out the Widefetish discussion, and together with this thread it paints a pretty clear picture.
I'm not Jammer's rhetoric coach, but this is how it seems to me.
Jammer's points both in this thread and the Widefetish seems perfectly valid and are essentially unrefuted. (That's not to say they're unrefutable, just that they haven't been refuted in these threads.)
For example, it is perplexing that the Wideboys rated a boulder problem (8 oz.) a number grade easier than their "test piece" (Century Crack), when the boulder problem shut one of them down and required much more effort from the other compared to the "test piece." We can come up with a number of explanations, but it's fair conjecture that the big number put on the test piece is an example of pro- or wanna-be pro-climbers putting out a huge number to generate some buzz. Or perhaps they didn't want to give the boulder problem an equally big (or greater) number, as that may also diminish their signature climb.
Here's where the rhetoric comes in. Jammer's valid points are mixed in with acrimony, personal attacks, and defensiveness, so the typical reader who is not logically inclined and easily swayed by emotion will likely skip over Jammer's valid points and just dismiss him as a crank.
My unsolicited advice is to proofread every post before hitting the "send" button, and delete everything that isn't a fact or reasonable speculation based on facts. Further, not to beat the Rob K. thing to death, but most of us are protective and sympathetic to the aged. Maybe Rob K's actions warrant censure, but you still have to treat old people with kid gloves if you don't want to alienate most readers.
It's also possible that the various authors of these posts aren't really trying to persuade anyone of anything, but are just venting and/or enjoying pushing each other's buttons. If that's the case, then carry on.

if you think that pic looks like a swastika, then I suppose you must see a couple dozen swastikas a day, at least. But on the other hand, 
Let us know!
