Get yer ass off the Taco... NOW!

No worries. Millions of other folks will cut down live trees for Christmas... ;)
Happy to say, Tradman, that I've not hosted a cut Christmas tree in my house since my kid was... little.
*WhooHoo!

I'm not a f*#king idiot, so don't talk to me like one.
Then don't act like one.
I don't celebrate xmas but I cut an xmas tree every year, gladly. I prefer lodgepoles that are encroaching the meadows... or suitable trees that happen to be in the way of a boulder problem.

Once I cut a tree down at the base of a route using a Hilti bolt gun. I woulda sawed it but I didn't have a saw. So I drilled a bunch of holes through the base until I could bend it over and break it. I named the route ... Gift Of Power ... A hat tip to my trusty Hilti.
I don't know Joe Kinder from Adam but give the man a break.
And if you want to sling acid on SuperTopo ... sign your name to what you got to say and don't hide behind some snarky handle.
Climb on Joe.

Half assed, crocodile tears, spray filled, half truth attempt at an apology Ron "I drilled pockets but it was in a roadcut" Anderson.

I was talking about your apology to me, but....
Speaking of apologies....
I accept Kinder's.
What he did was superfvcking lame but I think he learned his lesson and hopefully good things will come of it.
I love trees. I'm a SNAG and i love snags.

Thank you Fluoride for bringing some honest to goodness bullshit calling to poor little Joey's self inflicted predicament.
Trad Larry: no one is from Black Canyon, Colorado. You are just some trumped up imposter . . . an errand boy for the grocery clerk. Pretty amazing how these as#@&%es come out of the woodwork, no pun intended.

Jeez, the kid's already known as the Lee Harvey Oswald of Junipers, which is a hard label to shake. He's apologized, granted he took awhile to do it, but at least he acknowledged his behavior. His sponsors ain't happy, you can bet on it. However, this continued thrashing about how severely he should be punished is just so much mental masturbation.
At least he didn't name the damn climb Paul Bunyan's Surprise.
Now, lets see as much passion expressed for the hold chippers, rap bolters, and "enhanced hook placements".

Tradman, I'm sorry I was ever mean to you.
I mean it. Even though you don't like dogs and can't spell worth a sh¡t, I'm sure we could hang. You know, play some Dead on the gits, bolt some routes.
Figure this is as good a time as ever to apologize.
4 years.
More than Kinder, less than shipoopi. ;-)

Amen. As Riley points out, almost no one argues cutting the tree was right, excused, OK or something we should overlook, but you'd think there must be a bunch of people who think otherwise from the posts. Werner got it right; we need to go exceedingly lightly on public lands.
I rather suspect the extra vitality of this thread relates to the desire of so many to beat up on the corporate sponsors generally, or perhaps to beat up on someone well known who really screwed up. I hope it doesn't relate to the comment of Dougal Haston a little over 40 years ago, about a critic of John Harlin's Alpine record:
"Whenever great men arise, there will always be little men to belittle them." I don't mean to imply that JK is great, or his critics necessarily little, but we sure seem to revel in public figures' destruction.

It seems more likly that the masses simply want blood. there ain't no turn the other cheek or forgiveness in this hood....
Drjeffe (SP?) Sorry if I dissed the deadheads a million years ago ironicly for leaveing tons of garbage behind whenevr and wherever they gather in force.. and I do not hate dogs. I simply see through their scam.
Not much of an apology but it's what i got this morning;)
I am up for jamming music any time. Played a Dire Wolf, Cassidy and a Loser the other day. then drifted back to a bunch of Neil Young and some Willie..

Peripheral to the discussion, but.
These sponsored climbers are, essentially, salesmen.
What exactly are they selling?
What do I get if I buy it?
