could we kill off the political threads?
probably not, this place really sucks at the moment. No interest at all to contribute even climbing.
A while back, Chris shut down all the political threads. Then he allowed a single thread to rise from the ashes.
It's time for another mass closure.
Shut 'em all down.
Limit the political blather to a single thread.

In my opinion, the political threads on supertopo are awesome. Climbers are a rare and very respectable breed. I enjoy the candor and even slander on this site, because climbers are an honest breed. We deal with life and death. Life on the edge. Climbers dont hold back or they do for a good reason. I think that this is the most honest and revealing forum on politics Ive read. I like hearing what badass mothertruckers have to say, even if they disagree with me. These are people whove earned my respect on the wall. I want to hear what they have to say!

I went climbing yesterday, got in a few good pitches in a place with nobody else around except my partner and me. Also had some conversations about politics and societal organization. Life mirroring Supertopo mirroring life.

I've come to believe that a healthy adult needs to have a few hobbies outside of work that force them to interact with a diverse array of people they might not otherwise encounter. I've climbed with people with whom I agree 100% on politics, and I've climbed with people who couldn't be more opposite than me. It's provided the fodder for many long drives from the coast to Yosemite. I remember one particular conversation that started the minute we got in the car at Camp 4, and only ended when I dropped him off at his house in Monterey. But you know what? We had an absolute blast climbing, and it was the shared experience of climbing that let us argue about politics, and then drop it because damn... Yosemite is such a magical place to get to be.

The only times I have questioned the wild west character of ST is when I see product advertisement "threads" taking up most of the first page.
