Weirdest appreciation thread ever. Survival, more climbing pics please. I think Jeremy is just taking a break, he will be back. I appreciate what he contributed and that was climbing content, some great TR's, and some desert landscapes. Those are the things I remember from him, not the drama this thread portraits. This thread I think is a reminder why he is taking leave. Thanks for your pics and climbing Jeremy, come back soon with more. Tell your mom I said hi.

Sorry that pricks made him leave.

No. Nobody "made" Jeremy take his bat and ball and go home. He CHOSE to do so.

I got no dog in this fight, enjoyed his banter and TRs. But this is the internet and J gave as well as he got. Put on yer f*#king man pants, stop making grandad take all the hard free leads on that choss ya'll climb, grow some thicker skin...and tell your mom I said that rash is finally going away. WOO HOO!

This was all about Jeremy calling out that kook Burchey, telling him to split, and pleading for everyone else to recognize he was a troll.
Guess what, he was.
Buh bye Burchey. Make that FOUR climbing forums you've been clipped from.

Agreed. I didn't see Burchey write anything that bad until Jeremy started in on him. As much as you might like Jeremy, he threw the first punch. At least on this forum. If this was a feud from another forum, then he could have at least explained himself.

I don't think "who went first" really matters online, or even who is on the reasonable side of things.

Newbies will get the raw deal. It's the way of things.

Guaranteed - take away the online bickering - 90% of us would get along great in person.

Locker, the way I see it, Jeremy probably just had a bad day and didn't want to deal... or maybe Burchey actually did do those things to his mom. Either way, he decided to make his own site, which is really the way to go anyway. Unfortunately the fanboy club couldn't handle his absence so they started jumping to conclusions and blaming anyone and everyone they could WITHOUT EVEN READING THE THREAD IN QUESTION. Makes perfect sense... some people just can't handle the intardweb. Nothing against Jeremy, but he might want to consider the mental stability of those he associates with.

I liked Jeremy's Tr's and laughed at some of his sarcastic comments. It is hard to tell sometimes the tone of a post, but it always seemed playful, which led me to believe he was just fvcking around. Until I saw him interacting with Burchey. He seemed quite serious but didn't really make it very clear to others as to why? I think he called him a troll in one post, and from what I gather from others it was one that has plagued the taco before.

So which is it TheGeetz=Burchey? Are you really a noob or troll as some others have said. I am smart enough to realize that hearsay is just that. So which is it Adam?

So does anyone have a link for Jeremy's new website?

edit: just found this from upthread:

So I said f*#k it and deleted all of my stuff here on ST and will soon migrate it over to my own site so people can still enjoy the pics and get stoked to get out and about. No muss...no fuss...no as#@&%es except for me.

I'll shoot you guys a link when I get it all set up!

Haha, calling out the sheeple.

Baahhhh.

I jump on bandwagons sometimes. Ron A got a lot of sh#t from me before the election on the Retarded Political Thread. It was fun. Mean at times? Yes. Did I ever take things personally? No. Did Ron take my vitriol personally? Ask him, but I think not.

Jeremy should keep on talking sh#t in good humor and haters should hate 1/10 of 1% less. The world would be a better place.

Or at least ST.

More fighting about climbing, less drivel on OT theads.

Just to be clear, I don't dis your friends Ron... just Jeremy's because they deserve it... and you of course, when you are wrong or your Shaggy voice makes me think you are joking.

mechrist, I think you had better consider the mental stability of those you choose to fuk with . . .

Good point. I guess I really do have a problem, in that I honestly believe nobody could be THAT hostile/serious/unstable... especially when they were that far off base. I guess I'm a poor judge of character.

Maybe if everyone just used more

Hey Big Mike,

I believe that you are, senor.

This Burchey account that I had was the first ST account I've ever had. I try to always use that name (unless I get canned) so there's no mystery. I've been going up mountains for several years, rock climbing for a few, and doing moderate technical routes for slightly less than that. I'm still learning every time I go out, so in that way I'm a noob.

To me, a troll only makes digs/starts arguments. I don't think that's me at all. I try to start thoughtful threads as well as goofy OT ones that make you think. I don't stray away from arguing in a civil manner, and I kindly return whatever attitude I receive. I have a very strange sense of humor, which I think is the main reason I get into trouble online. I really don't know what set Jeremy off, but he did seem serious about not liking what I was typing. Once he started grinding me, I definitely gave it back to him. Didn't know him from Adam before that.

I have high hopes for the Taco, because in addition to having some serious climbing talent online, there are also a bunch of wackjobs with odd senses of humor, and I love the photoshop stuff making fun of other users. I really thought it would be more my speed, unlike the Whitney Portal board I got tossed from early in my mountain days - my style really doesn't jive there. Ken M. can most likely concur, I think he and I went back and forth a little bit in those days. Nice people though. Doug is a champion.

It's good to see that there are some skeptics. I always ask for examples when I'm "called out". I usually don't get examples in return. YOu know how it goes. Anyway, take it easy mang. Hopefully Jeremy comes back for you guys - he's got a lot of fans.

Adam- sharing some of your adventures would be a good way to establish some credibility. It's something Jer did a lot of and one of the main reasons he's so appreciated around here.

When you are new on a forum and an unknown quantity, this is not a good idea. Even if you my be right, you aren't right.

On the taco its better to introduce yourself and establish some sort of bonafides. Do you love climbing. Do you love the outdoors. If so, then express that and maybe prove it by giving a trip report and or showing appreciation for others efforts. Those who share the love tend to be forgiven their quirks faster then those who just want to ride the hate/need attention train.

Fair or not.. thats the way it is.

If you want to stick around, then try to mend some fences and don't piss off the natives.

Well Locker, You seem to enjoy it here, yet you know that if you post a picture like you did a few years ago you will be banned. Its just a matter of knowing the lay of the land. You don't have to change who you are, you just have to respect the lay of the land. Thats no different from respecting the outdoors. You can try to assert your will over mother nature, but in the end, if you don't respect her power, you will get smacked.
