I'm the object of frequent personal attacks.
I don't care!
Once upon a time in a job interview I was asked the trite question,
"What's your greatest weakness?".
my answer was,
"I've never been able to suffer fools gladly"
This place has been a great exercise in developing my tolerance for fools.
Too bad it's being neutered.

This could be a good thing. Good luck!
Nobody Is deprived of anything. Just start the thread over again, and play nice!
Sounds good on paper, anyway....
I'm kinda glad Wolf City rolls a little more rough shod though...
Anita, what about another shrubbery? Another one a little lower, making a two level affect....
Ecka, ekca, Kabling! .......... Nee

hey there say, chiloe...
say, as to this quote of yours:
My TR-writing here has gone way down since my trips got less report-worthy. Perhaps that creeping decline has snuck up on a few others here as well.
say, oh my... please, hopefully you will not think this is so... your trip reports are so-worth reading... i think what it is:
folks write so many and then, to themselves, well, they SEEM the same, or ' mundane' etc... as, these are your 'haunts and habits', but to us that don't climb... or that are just starting... or those that perhaps frequent OTHER areas:
there is ALWAYS something there to catch the interest and to spark a flame, or enrich the brain...
sure hope you will, when you have time--grace us all the more, here with reports... even if:
just a 'thin line' of it 'across' the expanse... ;)
(using your photo, for inspiration here, as to 'word play' )....
1-something old,
2-something new,
3-something borrowed,
4-something blue...
1-as to the area,
2-the unique day of the climb,
3-as to the ideas and insights,
4-and--the SKYand it's weather!
trip reports are a way for us ALL to walk in the steps and climbs, of
others, here... :) hope to hear more from you...

Maybe if people used their real names instead of make-believe names it'd be more civil.

What makes you think I'm in a bad mood?
When you've reduced them to spittle spewing venomous rages,
you've won!

Hmmm, does seem like it would promote some degree of accountability for your speech.

A few people with avatars posting on an internet forum have absolutely no filters and will say anything.
Those who use their real names on a forum are more circumspect about what they say. Unless they are old, like me, and could care a flying f*#k what people think.
People meeting face to face are supremely aware of what reaction their comments might incite in the other person and sculpt them accordingly.

Donini, you go too far with that one.
Usually you're more measured with your posting.
You'll note not having an avatar doesn't filter WB or his ilk one iota.

if non-climbing threads are frozen here, then much of the beauty and power of this (once quite) innovative forum....will be lost

True, but not everyone who uses an avatar other than their real name is an as#@&%e.
Some of us took silly names without giving it much thought, but have never hidden behind that anonymity. Our real names aren't secret, and we're well enough known by too many people to ever feel that we can act like as#@&%es on ST without it coming back to bite us.
But yes, people who hide behind anonymous avatars so that they don't have to take responsibility for what they say online are despicable cowards.
