Wescrist...you just don't get it. It not about burning someone off.
This thread is about simple respect and the chance to hear/read about the history of climbing from the folks who were there.This in a way is a running history book, a place to record, to tell what happened and who did it. I think it is just wonderful.
You need to spend more time on Boldering (sic).com and less time here.
As for getting over yourself...there is only one person on this thread that needs to do that...and that would be you.

You're on the east side? I suspect there is no shortage of folks twice your age over there you couldn't begin to keep up with on your best day. And knowing when respect has [already] been earned and showing some - in person or online - is yet another competency you appear to be way behind on grasping. It's a clear sign you'll likely not end up 'climbing' a fraction as long as most folks mentioned in the thread. I'm guessing you'll be dissing folks in a kitesurfing forum before the decades out - maybe sooner if you encounter a runout or have to place gear.

I really hate to "out" anyone here, but weschrist is...
1) A really nice guy.
2) A hell of a strong climber.
and
3) A most excellent troll.

Yes, this Forum is priceless and Trolls be here!
You know you can save threads to your hard drive, then burn them to CD, which is vastly superior to bookmarking them, because it freezes the thread and places it in your hot little hands.
Meanwhile, here's a thread which needs some refreshing:
It's the "Super Taco Hall of Fame", smartly started by Mick K:
http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.html?topic_id=262946&msg=269448#msg269448
This was started before most Jello Majik, Oli musings, DR writings or numerous other super neato stuff showed up.
So let's get to work and resume the catalogue of gems eh?

yeah, sorry 'bout this wes, but since you were my main climbing partner for five years in SLC i'm gonna have to break the news that you are not a big fat dicksmoker wierdo.
a master troller, yes, cackling like an old lady behind the keys of your government computer as you bait another hook while on the taxpayer's dime, but my daughter calls you "uncle wessie", so that's that.
you're done, boy. fini.

No sh#t? I didn't even know that Aaron deployed to Iraq. Would you mind PM-ing me the details?

So you're basically a bored online slag and shag freak - cool, as losers go (and regardless who your friends here are...).

Really, wes, it's obvious that you're trolling. That's why I get mad at myself when I can't help but respond. Still, trolling is a loser's game, generally. I could do it all day and get nothing out of it for myself or any of the trollee's I manage to hook.
You've made no real contribution here, as far as I can tell.
Hope to meet up with you someday, so we can laugh about all this internet bs.

While I'm not really going to accept the idea that Weakwrist has actually been climbing (seen others do it?) before, still, he has proven beyond a doubt that he IS an azhole, so I guess, he succeded.

....welllll....tell me, you guys:
Who amongst you, sitting round a campfire back in the day, when a stranger came up and invited themselves to the party and began asking locations, partners, beta or whatever, hasn't pretended other than what they actually were? "Climbing? Nooo....I don't think there's much climbing round here, other than(the obvious roadside chosspile that blocks the view of all the good stuff you've been putting up routes on)."
Even if Weschrist did snag some fish, isn't that part of the dirtbag communal tradition?
Now, as to his assholishness - that has to go into context. I had thought to do a little backthread resarch, and see what sort of posts he's made over the time. But unfortunately the idea didn't hold enough intrigue for me to make those few page clicks.
-or-
Did you guys troll the troller(also a grand tradition, and one requiring much more skill)?

I guess he just wanted this to become a thread about Wes. And succeeded.

yeah chiloe,
weschrist wanted to make sure that the "living history" thread adequately represented the wisdom of youth.
i am a believer. he will get his phd and save the world from the ills that previous generations made. we should feel lucky that we are a part of it and that he will fix what our generations have screwed up.

Weschrist wrote: nope, it is still the internet and should be treated as such. Might I suggest you put together something worthy of your glorious history... perhaps a picture book with little stories. I will give you $29.99 worth of respect if it is any good.
Your respect is worth about $0.00 to me. Keep trying.
What with the photos of the eight foot climbs??

Nope, ya'll screwed it up too bad...
weschrist, you keep saying that the folks here, on this forum, are the ones responsible for making the world what it is today. In some senses, you're right. Many of the long-time climbers here DID help to make climbing what it is today. However, I doubt many of them had a hand in creating the corporate greed that plagues us today and has caused unimaginable harm to the planet on which we live.
So while it's fun to come here and throw around a few jokes, my bet is that your life at the Taco Stand will be short-lived and that you'll be remembered (if you make it to that status) much like we remember rajmit--we fondly remember him as a jerk and continue to use him as the butt of our jokes.
