As the guy who started the controversy last night I would like to let the ST community know I give my regards to Werner. I still stand by my earlier words though. Yes they were harsh, but as Werner admits he can be harsh too. We all can be unreasonable at times. My intent was to incite spirited dialogue, and that happened to some extent. I regret that it brought out anger in people. I have learned a valuable lesson.
I hope this can be a turning point for a change to positive vibes for the future of this site. I don't think it can get much worse. If things get negative here again, I will hopefully not be a part of it.
Thanks Werner for being exactly who you are.

The actual correct German pronunciation is more like "Veah Nach" (not a full h though) not wer-ner. Thanks for Werner's Wiggles, I enjoyed that climb.

Dog:
It comes and goes in cycles. Werner offered some of the best advice I have not been able to follow.
"You got to let people be who they are."
You have to trust the people
and go with them.

Just a bump. I don't really know my a##hole from a ringlock, but I used to enjoy climbing some. Also, I appreciate many of the stories shared here.
It is not always that way, but I've been lucky to experience the friendliness of strangers, both locals and foreigners, who shared a common interest in tying into a rope and getting up high.
Anyway, just a bump for the more positive...

Werner is the "zen jester" of supertopo (among many other things).
And we love him for it.

Werner needs to open a hot dog stand, call it "Werner's Wienies", you know, so he can make us one with everything.

Whenever Braun discusses an SAR operation, well, that's when ST becomes the best website in the world. Always wish I could hear more of his tales.
Second that. Unfortunately I had to meet Herr Braun when he and his merry band were putting me in a stretcher! But I'd really like to hear some more tales of SAR - the good, the bad and the ugly - from the smoking duck point of view.
But knowing Werner, he is probably studiously ignoring this thread and waiting for it to go away again.

Climbers, NPS and ST are all lucky to have Werner bridging the gaps. Love the dry humor and the great rescue reports. Lots of respect for WB.

Hope I don't meet him while he is on duty. Glad to have people like him on SAR. Guy probably can pluck someone off the wall and make them pissed their pants with his humor. Well at least I think he has a good sense of humor at times. All the best!
Have to also mention the good routes he and his partners contributed to the community. Awesome stuff! Stay healthy.
