Marlow,
I promise you I am not trolling, but I don't feel its necessary to delete my post. I respect your opinion and have no intention of arguing with anyone about anything. Happy climbing unto you.

The manner in which things are discussed on this site puts off quite a few climbers who might otherwise join in.
If they're put off by that then how do they have what it takes to climb anything halfway hard?

I climbed today. My lungs burned on the approach, my fingers whined on the crux and my face is still smiling.

Climbers? Hopefully they're climbing. Posting on this forum is for posters. You do what you do :-)

Maybe they actually have better things to do than type on a forum all day long?
Maybe they're out climbing, or working or travelling? Maybe they have busy lives or they're not bored? Or, maybe, SuperTopo's forum is just so irrelevant to them, they'd rather spend time on Instagram or Facebook or someplace else? I know talking about what climbers do is great and all, but maybe some people want to do what climbers do instead?
And at the end of the day - guess what? No one cares about SuperTopo.

Fraught with peril! I like the sound of it. Sounds like what real climbers do.
But hopefully, if they're real climbers, they're less than forthcoming because they're climbing. The folks discussing here are more like discussers.

Brennan ballcupping Reilly lol.
I guess you guys are numb to the fact that all the bs you guys spew on non climbing threads actually does drive people away-
not out of butthurt but out of....common sense?
i.e. come to a climbing forum, realize it's a political forum, bail.
Maybe you should read what homeboy said, twice.
Or don't.

You are an absolute idiot for sure.
A total fanatic one trick pony.
When I was climbing thousands of feet every day for many many years I hated to talk about climbing.
The minute I was done climbing it was over, I went to the river and sat there till dark watching it flow.
I spent more time at the river than anywhere else.
Blathering about climbing all the time is a total turn off to me.
I used to drive to Fresno all the time just to get away from stoopid climbing fanatics and all their bulllsh!t.

Yea you're probably right - I don't really get why climbers who prefer climbing content, who want to post climbing content, and read climbing content, and comment on climbing content - why do they get driven away by the climbers with other interests? The ratio of climbing content to non climbing content seems to me to be driven by the behavior of the climbers who post here. If people come here and don't find what they want, it's because the people who come here aren't giving them what they want.
Sure we can have holy wars about what a real climber is and how often you need to climb or how hard you need to climb or whatever to have standing to contribute your two cents to the forum, whether it's the old climbers who are messing it up or the new climbers or the trad climbers or the sport climbers or the boulderers or the pros or whatever, but IMHO part of the charm of the place is that cmac has kept it pretty egalitarian, and it's just driven by the interests and behaviors of the posters.
I wonder re where the climbers have gone - like how many of the people here aren't climbers? Maybe not climbers like you mean climbers, but climbers in a broader sense?
But I expect that this has been discussed as nauseum already, and our discussion is just driving the real climbers (as opposed to the real posters and real discussers) away.
Best to you!
