Ron,
Yes, I was going aim a barb at Dirt but decided, nah. I've got too much love in my heart, so I deleted the verbal jab.
But you do agree that this thread is a better place for your admirers and detractors to have their say – versus the Streaked Wall thread, yes? And the Ammon for President is really a place for HIS admirers/ detractors to have at it.
Thus, you got your own thread. Once again.
And I got tired of my old pseudonym. It’s time for a new personality. It’s like getting your hair colored, er.. getting a new hair style, er…

I posted on this forum that I was having a 40th birthday party and invited anyone that wanted to attend. It was all locals except for this one guy that I didn't know - Piton Ron. He showed up with two nice bottles of sake, a big gun and a bigger lizard. Since then he's been someone I regard as a true friend. Bash him I could (and have and will again!). Before I do that though....
Hoping he shows soon!!!!
Nobody is safe in this world:
I LOVE YOU MAN!

I am appreciative of Ron's efforts in establishing so many fine routes.
I've climbed at least a half dozen of them and they were all great outings.
I also enjoy the online banter. I may not agree with him (or anyone here) all the time but that's part of living in a community.
Cheers,
Brad

Hey Falsey,
how about that deleted post to Dirt saying your fight wasn't with HIM.
To the gang,
love you guys too.
Maybe I got too upset over the AWOL liz, but all I did was ask Ammon for a number which some seventy odd posts later I still haven't really gotten.
Sure its a loaded question, but if everyone was supposed to agree I wouldn't be interested in being here.

Ron stands for what he stands for, and it seems to me that from what I've seen, he expects a person to back up their mouth if they go shooting it off(just trying to get a gun pun in).
He's also been very generous with his sushi-rolling at the fests. I know that I wouldn't be able to do that. I think he was generous with allowing others to handle his firearms/use his ammo, too. Considering that he values them highly, that's pretty cool, I think.
I got nothing negative to add, but then....I don't know Ron all that well!!!
Edit: I hope Junior shows up soon!!!! Maybe he's crawled into a snuggly warm place, if the temperatures have recently dropped?

Agreeing or disagreeing being immaterial, I appreciate that Mr. Olevski is willing to engage in the dialogue. I also appreciate the game he plays, i.e. putting up lines in a sustainable style. Because of his participation in the vast human pretend we call society, i have the upmost respect for him.
Because he's a 'ornry crackpot, I think he's a "sick brah" (to use climber lingo).

WRT Trapeze: I guess I suppose the humor in my comment regarding the route was lost. I had little time that day. I looked up at the wall and spied what appeared to be good rock with holds. I didn't know the name of the route. Perhaps the lack of chalk should have been a sign. BUT I WAS IN A HURRY!
And hey! If nothing else I made The Pelted One laugh and that has to be good for something!
Double ropes? call me a lefty....

IT's GOTTA be the same guy!

So the choices are hating Ron or not around him enough yet to hate him? Guess I'm in the latter.
Helluva compliment right there.

Ron IS generous. I quizzed him for information about southern Utah climbing when I lived in Utah and he shared a great deal of beta at the expense of much of his own time.
He's also forgiving. I jested with him about implications of locals destroying his property, not knowing the full extent of their crimes. He got irate with me and let me know it. That was my error. But he realized I was naive about the offenses and overlooked my insensitivity. Ron brings a great deal to this forum, especially his wit, knowledge and sense of moral propriety.
Ron, I dread your mormon threads and wish you and Pat would meet and talk out your differences. That's a feud that shouldn't be---have no doubt you would like each other, should you meet.
Hope you find Junior. He's become somewhat of a mascot, here.

Wes,
Your sarcasm is misplaced. Would you jest with a crime victim about the crime knowing the full extent and implications of the crime?
I didn't know the whole story before jesting with Ron. A mistake on my part. Ron let it go rather than hold a long term grudge. To me it showed some class. Are your feathers really ruffled cause I bring it up? Why?
Personally, I'd rather keep out of these internet feuds. I don't know Ammon and have nothing against him. Pat Ament is my friend but does one need villify one participant in a feud to show "loyalty" to another? This is an appreciation thread of sorts and I wrote what I appreciated about Ron. What is that to you ?

w/c - If you'd said "wankers like the rest of US," your post would be okay. But that you seem to think you're exempt( because you definitely give the appearance of being one of the bigger wankers of the site, in case that has escaped you) makes your slur.....a dud. Edit: And if you think you will derail teh Ron A/D thread, maybe you should get a Westchrist A/D thread of your own. Give people something to do over the weekend....
And - when I wrote that I had nothing negative to say about Ron, cause I didn't know him all that well, it was my attempt to be joking. In my book, he is all right. Like I said - I know some people have had altercations with him. On a lesser scale, there are website users who have a compulsion to disparage me often. I figure that most of us have some people who don't like us, and if we don't it's probably because either we are not showing ourselves truly or worse - that we are boring!
