This isn't the first time Tom has thrown a toddler tantrum. Call the waaaambulance, his wittle feewings are hurt.
Oh, the irony of that statement.

"I say let the fat guy with the camera at the bridge that bitches about people's clothing colors, regardless of their desire to be photographed without permission, rename features on a route he's never climbed. Par for the course these days."
In other news...
Does Tom get model releases from the climbers he photographs?
If not, he could get sued someday... Anyone else not like having their image on the interwebs without their knowledge or permission?

Woah woah woah, let's not get things twisted.
Klaus is a bad ass mother f*#ker. Tom is a decent guy but probably a little thin skinned.
Did Klaus get drunk and call out a guy who took it personally? Do we all do that sometimes?
I was one of the first people to sh#t on the pettiness, but I'm not going to pretend that this has any reflection on either of their characters.
Internet drama, people. Don't let that sh#t carry over.

I like people that climb smack dab in the middle of the most popular national park, on the main stage, in front of a dozen high powered lenses... and expect a wilderness experience.
Watkins is just sittin' there all ronery...

I really like the El cap report.
Bummer folks seem to be upset with Tom. What is the goal here.... no el cap report?
I'm still trying to figure out what he renamed the route "Pressure Cooker" to. What is the "new" name?
Also trying to figure out which pitch on the "Pressure Cooker" topo got "renamed"?
I'm not seeing any connection.
Yeah, Klaus is a bad-ass and Tom is not.
What does that have to do with anything?
I think Klaus just got a little annoyed at Tom naming a feature that is close to his route, and now his subbies are carrying the hate torch since Klaus has slept it off and seems to be done with it.
Anyway, Klaus certainly could have addressed this in a nicer way and been more specific as to what he has issues with.

You're a badass man! Why ruin your rep being a tw#t on the internet??
I know you have beef with Tom. Why not just let him know in a civil manner what your problem is and leave it at that? Calling people names just makes you look like a big baby. You deleted all your badass material and now contribute whining? Weak sauce bro.

right on, klaus.
minor tom wants
some limelight, too.
and he's got
get creative
in his pursuit.
taking internet
cheap shots
is his version
of the right hook.
he's like, king
of the playground,
and shite.
he's like the pusher,
giving us screen pukes
eye candy, and we
bow down when he's in town.
it makes me less
domestic to see you
and other people of
substance take a good
and proper stand against
the dull blades
in the drawer.

Forgive me father for I have sinned.
I have gone to a climbing gym.
I enjoyed it.
And got my ass kicked in the process.
Being great back in the day doesn't give you the right to be an as#@&%e...
