Resurrecting someone else's thread:
Once you post it, it ain't yours anymore. If you don't want it resurrected, don't post it in the first place.

OK Dingus. I deleted one of my own threads only to see it reappear under the name of "Norwegian". This is unethical, period.
Now, repeat that back after me....

+1 onthe...
you can't seriously make the argument that you've posted something on the internet and claim to have any control over what happens to it...
once you've posted you've given it to us all to play with as we please.
what is the "code of ethics" having to do with bits and bytes?
If you don't want that to happen, don't post it in the first place.

DMT:
it depends whether the title is "Norwegian is Unethical" or "Norwegian is Unethical, ."
with all due respect to the appointment made by the jester in chief, i believe only solomon has the answers we look for...
if a thread fetus is found, still breathing, abandoned in the woods, we will tell the two parents claiming him/r:
"the live fetus must be split in two, with each parent receiving half of the fetus!"
whoever would give the fetus to their rival instead of having it be ripped asunder will be revealed to be the true progenitor....

I don't think "ethics" really come into play here. Was it rude of him? Perhaps.
The easiest solution is to not have diarrhea of the damned keyboard, and don't post it up if you're going to take it down again because you caught too much crap for it or whatever reason. I don't even know what he posted back up but from your other posts, I would guess it was some contentious or inflammatory statement.
Think twice, post once. If you don't want it repeated, then leave it the hell out of a public forum. Once it's there, you run the risk of it being taken.

Lol.. Obviously i think it's ok.. Because i did it to you. After you deleted a conversation i thought was worthy and spent time posting to.
Once you put an idea out there, it's in the common thought process and whether or not you like it, people will talk about it.
Deleting threads is lame. People don't like it when you delete their contributions. Either stop doing it or people will take measures to continue the conversation without you.

Ethics on the Internet I'm not sure I know what that is. Delete your account and now I think all of your materials you put on the site go as well.
I am of the opinion to just post everything and then no one pays attention especially if it is related to climbing.

Oh, sorry, I thought it said "ethnomethodological".
I would ask Professor Garfinkel who could definitely answer this one and perhaps the original posed in the thread title. However, he is dead. Anyway his answers always tended to be very wordy and I fear that no one would read either.
Which leads naturally to Hunter Thompson? Sorry, dead too and he would likely have read "ether".

I agree.
Which is not what I would often say to her.
But I surely respect her verve.
And dammit Avery, if you want to be so dramatic, get some thicker skin and a broader sense of humor. I have started very few threads that went the way I wanted, but it didn't prevent me from enjoying them anyway. Something Jstan once said about tolerance for uncertainty, I can't remember... and some other crap about tolerance to be misunderstood....

Thanks for the predictable input. I could've written most of those posts with my eyes closed.
The biggest complaint appears to be that old chestnut about "If you don't won't to hear negative comments then don't' post"
If there was no way to delete the threads, then I would agree with that comment The fact that I CAN Delete means that I have an option to delete. Why else would that option exist.
Lets also remember that regardless of my comments being forever "out there" on the web, someone consciously brought it back for the sole purpose of sh#t stirring.
Anything goes, right?
Not True, some months ago I started a thread with the name Brad Jarrett. I was immediately admonished on supertopo for breaking it's "protocol" (Apparently, a thread that leads with a name implies that they are dead)I didn't know that so apologized profusely.
As this example clearly shows Supertopo does have it's Ethics, Protocol or whatever you want to call it.
So lets have some consistency around these protocols instead of the self centered elasticity of there current application.

I agree that I should be able to dump a thread if I feel like it, but many don't like it. As though their smart ass replies are so precious that they can't stand to see them go!
The same can be said to the folks who are throwing barbs at Avery. It's just a forum. If you want your brilliant thoughts to be kept public forever, put them someplace where the author has no control over deleting threads.
As Zappa said "Who gives a f*#k anyway?"
Often we see the peanut gallery TELLING people to delete lame threads, but when they do, someone else bitches about it!

Bossman Bob Cormier took one look at Bill Travis and barfed on Principal Wiggins, who barfed on the lumberjack that was sitting next to him. Mayor Grundy barfed on his wife's tits. But when the smell hit the crowd, that's when Lardass' plan really started to work. Girlfriends barfed on boyfriends. Kids barfed on their parents. A fat lady barfed in her purse. The Donnelley twins barfed on each other, and the Women's Auxiliary barfed all over the Benevolent Order of Antelopes. And Lardass just sat back and enjoyed what he'd created-a complete and total barf-o-rama!

For some threads it's downright rude to resurrect them. People start a thread due to some emotional low point, or it takes an ugly turn and euthanasia is the only, hopefully final, solution.
On the other hand "Information wants to be free" ; sometimes the greater good is served by recovering a gold nugget that someone buried because in producing it, they made themselves look like a dork, or otherwise revealed somehing of their true nature, they would rather not have shared.
That sh#t is fair game!
It's always going to be a case by case situation, and there are always going to be toes stepped on.
I think there is a karmic rule of thumb dealing with the integrity of, and respect due to, the OP. Sometimes we spare our friends embarrassment, and sometimes people just have to lay in the grave they've dug for themselves.
The people today who remember Roger Ramjet are dieing off. As a paleontologist by training, I value the importance of keeping some history current, to learn from!!
Take the roger ramjet theme song, they used a public domain tune, and paired it with dumb, but catchy lyrics that I can recite from Memory fifty years later.all to sell General Mills cereal.
Then, In the eighties, that lame as Barney, Barney, stole the whole thing due to a total lack of originality, and having no scruples about manipulating children to make money in an infinitely more decadadent and cynical business model!

Avery's pretty loud. Might get a technical win in a debate, but Weedge would just blow eveyone's mind with some surrealistic prose.
I think hand to hand, the Norwegian would... well, kick your ass. But, in reality probably something unspeakable (not permanently damaging, just permanently humiliating.)

Delete your posts off the deleted threads. If that ain't enough delete your account. The rules is ST were here long before you were. If you don't like the rules then leave or do some thing to change it. I complained for a long time that st did not have enough climbing content for which I was ridiculed and laughed at. So for the last 5 years or so I have posted a lot of climbing content and kept it on the front page as much as possible while trying to ignore virtually all of the political and religious bs out there. Did it change anything? Probably not, but I am giving some effort not just complaining about how things are.

+1 for Jaybro.
I believe that couchmaster's intent with his thread is to cause trouble. Not all threads are resurrected.
Example, my thread the other day is resurrected, but not the resulting thoughtful thread by Jim Brennan.
If someone doesn't have a sense of what to save and what to let go, how on earth instill that feeling in him? To save climbing threads I would understand.
Let nothingness reign and the worms munch the remains in peace.

I'm not the only one to delete? snarky just deleted the post this message was written for. I'm sure he's waiting for the above comment. I'm also sure by the time this message is posted, there will be some pithy comeback like 3 2 1.
This is to all those people who judged me to be selfish.
I delete my threads because: I believe they have run there course or there going nowhere.
Obviously, I won't delete any more, there wouldn't be much point, would there.

We ALL make mistakes.
Going through all these old posts makes me think that perhaps I have been too quick to delete. I'm sorry for that.

Avery, you have been around long enough to know how this place works. I think the pictures you are quoting me on were on some rolling grassy hills. Is that thread still up? I for one would love to see and hear more about NZ as I doubt I will ever make it there but would love to. Now demanding answers from people on here or complaining about how st works seems to get you no where. I think you are trying to participate in the small climbing side of st. You may find what you are looking for more easily on the political and religious threads. They do better with people that are very direct.

HMMMM
provoke another ..
. again someone was asking Avery to delete this Thread ...now those posts
the ones daring Avery to delete ..."Go on Avery do it you know you want to"...
have them selves been deleted. what follows from me is just my way of saying that
this climbing website needs diversity in content
and he will go away and that would leave us all with less interesting info from an amazing
mountain zone
be careful what you wish for
and Avery if it is any thing that I said...(delusions of grandeur in me )
I am sorry I was not jumping in to be any thing but sympathetic
that threads out live the hoped for direction of the OP is just what happens.
If the twists and turns that your thread takes upsets you don't visit that thread anymore

...or complaining about how st works seems to get you no where.
No problem with complaining, as long as one realises it's not gonna change anything. Except one own's mood - or sometimes it helps one to realise it's oneself whose wrong. Complaining about others on ST is an ego thing. Like letting out steam, then one can go back doing whatever, with the complaint out of the system.
No change, EXCEPT if enough many members are pissed off at the same thing. Female members and boob threads, for instance. :-)

I delete MY threads because they either outgrow there usefulness or they end up as mindless gibberish. I started the thread so I have the right to delete it.
Why else would there be a delete option?
I have no control after that. If someone chooses to resurrect a thread of mine, then so be it. There is nothing I can do about it.
Where I have a problem with is the motivation for the resurrection. Is it out of respect for what they consider to be a worthwhile thread with much to offer, or is it just out to piss off the deleter (As I strongly suspect). I no longer have a problem with the former, but I despise the latter.
I just thought throw I'd throw that into the maelstrom of speculation.

Avery, you're a fragile and sensitive soul, aren't you?
Howz about this, don't post anything you wouldn't want re-posted or revived? You know how many pics have been taken of me without my consent that have been posted here? With the intention of slandering me?
Quite a few. Lighten up, Nancy....
