We are all climbers some better or no worse than others.
We all have some sort of cross to bear. Whether real or imagined.
I have been honest and true to what I have written on previous threads, I have not insulted people, but it seems that ChrisMac deems ... well, my last posts are history, I guess perhaps that is a hint I should be also.
I left a well-paid job to look after the love of my life. and now she is in a nursing home for the foreseeable future. The rest of her life unless I can come up with a miracle.
But I would do it again and again and again, be her carer at whatever expense and costs - emotionally, physically and yes of course financially (it does not always come down to money though, please take my word for that).
I had so many dreams before her medical condition. Ice on Ben Nevis, (to finally finish the Salathé Wall that I had started in 1975), Les Droites and Les Courtes, Alpamayo, Ama Dablam. I had it planned, however, I had not planned for her illness.
But I have done okay, as I believe most of us Supertopians have. I still have a pulse when I wake up (I'd be worried otherwise).
ChrisMac has shut some of us politards down, understandably. Though we have voices, right, left and central. It just got carried away at times, politics and emotions can do that.
ChrisMac and his denizens owns (rules) this forum. We all bought into that. So we have rules and I hope I have never broken them.
But who struggles here?
I am happy to be alive.
ChrisMac, you can delete me on this forum, but you can never delete my soul Adios.
EDIT
I was not born into a wealthy family, but my late mother did her best and damn it that was some of the best anybody can do. A widow with five (four living Nancy died in 1953 of polio at seven, she is buried in Wheeling WVA), me the youngest at five months (1956). She was a dentist (one of the first women out of WVA), and she did her best and everybody loved her. Everybody.
She did not come out of Marin, she came out of West Virginia. Dad out of Olympia.

I don't struggle but my 26 year old daughter has been basically bed ridden for 15 months with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Medicine does not know what causes it and does not have an effective treatment.

Heck AP, now my trite troubles seem even less so important. Big time.
What is being done? I am no medical professional. My thoughts are with you and your daughter, sincerely Patrick

I have not insulted people
Fuk yeah you have... and plenty.
You have become a predictable broken record Patrick. I don't think that is a banning offense, it just makes you boring and repetitive.
And everyone struggles... that is life.

Name it Russ, outside of dissing Trump, when have I insulted fellow Supertopians? Dig it up and I will apologize, otherwise, shut your trap.
And the one time I called out Escopeta for being an ass for insulting dementia sufferers, Russ Walling, dig it up, find out when I have insulted other Supertopians. You have done it a lot, a lot, you have insulted and demeaned a lot of people on this forum so don't lecture to me. Go look in the mirror if your want to see an ass.

Funny T Hocking and Rick Sumner, hah hah. The joke is on you dude.
I am tired of this BS. Russ, T Hocking and Rick, I do not give a sh#t what you think but... I will respect what you think. I know that sounds contradictory, and it sort of is. But I will listen, just do not expect me to believe.
cheers

Well, you have called me a wanker, a dick head, a racist, a piece of sh#t, and those are just off the top of my head.
You have called Werner many things many times... idiot, Sieg Heil, fascist, Deutschbagger, a stupid Germ sucking off the tit of the American taxpayer, a few F*#k You Smoking Ducks... and the list goes on.
Your generic rants about "Trumpsters" and conservatives, include numerous slurs.
How do you forget this stuff? Maybe that is why you repeat your sh#t so often...
You have done it a lot, a lot, you have insulted and demeaned a lot of people on this forum so don't lecture to me. Go look in the mirror if your want to see an ass.
But I'm not the hypocrite claiming otherwise. That would be you.

What a of waste of time. It is now past midnight and I have meetings in the morning (yes I have started a business and already have two employees) and I am bantering with...
What a fool I am to waste my time trying to discuss reasonably with.... what do you call yourselves guys? Warriors, knights, Trump's disciples?
Go for it.
And yes Russ, I will dig through my previous posts, and perhaps I have crossed the line. If so, I sincerely apologise. If I have, I have no excuses.

nite nite victim... you'll forget about all this by morn.... then you can post it again.
Edit: I can't keep up with your back edits... but this:
And yes Russ, I will dig through my previous posts, and perhaps I have crossed the line
It will be a tough dig as you have a habit of jumping off the f*#kking bridge and deleting your most inflammatory rants, a tired precursor of quitting the forum for the nth time. I believe DMT had to talk you off the ledge a short while ago during a particularly inspired rant against me... mostly out of the blue I'll add.
I'm sure there are still some of your posts around and perhaps a few screenshots of your greatest hits might remain. Maybe those will jog your memory, or not, but don't try and white knight yourself with your claims. You roll in the mud with the best of them.

Russ, don't be an ass. If I have transgressed I apologise but please do not patronise me.
I do not need this aggro. If I brought it upon myself, then I am really stupid.

I have been honest and true to what I have written on previous threads, I have not insulted people I agree, you do not insult people.
[At least I do not recall any]
I am sorry that I have not finished reading your last post in the deleted thread. I went through about 50% and then was distracted by real life.
Was this thread completely deleted?
I was not able to find it with "Search" function.

No, if Russ is correct in what I have posted in the past (I didn't think so, but I admittedly have had some rants) then he is correct to bring them up when I asked him to. I guess I should look up my previous rants to see just what an ass I have made of myself.
But ass or not, my message is still the same. Trump is not to be trusted.

Cosmic (DWAIN?) that is a funny tombstone, but remember, I asked to be buried at sea to be fish food.
Russ, what can I write that you will try to turn against me?

Johannsolo, don't you get it? We love bantering with one another on this forum. Otherwise we would just blow it off. It is the only forum I contribute to (I used to others but not anymore, long gone).
I do not think ill or bad of anybody on this forum, if anything I have probably been the biggest ass of all. And that is what keeps me in check, to reread the stupid things I have written and pray to the heavens I have not repeated them elsewhere.
I do not mind Cosmic (Dwain?), Russ, TGT2, Couchmaster (one of the more sensible posters, and EdwardT as well), Jody (damn fine photographer) or any other posters who disagree with me.
In my sad life, it is these sort of people who say, "Wake up Sawyer, there are other opinions than just yours."
As for many of the others, we sing from the same hymn sheet.
I just know I miss Jennie, and I hope I have not belabored that point.
