I agree with your sentiment, Avery. At the same time, I think the best way to deal with abusive posters is to starve them of oxygen. They crop up in virtually every thread on every subject, and only gain impact when they're responded to. I think it's best to let their comments twist in the wind, and sound puerile in their isolation.

Avery, brave effort, I noticed that your post came in after midnight over here so you're bound to get some drunken loners spewing in the night. Sad.
I get pretty peeved at willfull ignorance and I'm still mad about the Dark Ages, so I've gone down the ugly path of arguing without class. I think that Moose has the right idea. I haven't been here in the StupidTipi long but I am trying to be better. We can do better.

It's an open forum on the internet, anyone can post.....but it still is climber oriented, separate the wheat from the chaff.....choice nuggets can still be found.

But sometimes you just can't help it.
Sometimes you just have to tell The Chief he's an idiot.
Actually, you don't. Part of being a grown-up is learning how to take the chance that someone might perceive that your non-response means you agree, or got whooped in a debate.

Avery, I shall explain once again: This forum is not necessarily about climbing, it's about climbers and what they think about everything under the sun.
While some of the great bits of American climbing history are deep in this stream of drivel making it the most authoritative site in the world, it is the drivel coming from the fingers of some great American climbers.
You can post up great sensible factual info. There it is. Nothing to discuss. It bobs up with a few complements and sinks like a stone.
You can blurt out a thread that you think US President Obama is Muslim Antichrist and you know this for a fact because aliens are broadcasting this into your brain and your post will float for weeks, reappearing for long periods months later. People have something to say about this, and usually it's not kind. AND it will come from many real good American climbers (though many are has-beens).
Supertopo is doomed to persist.
Class is a matter of viewpoint.

Oh brother, How many times have we had this conversation....As others have said...It's a campfire. You know, climbers chatting about this and that... Do you really think the great folks we have here, too many to name, want to talk only about climbing? Or the latest climbing protection? Or what shoes everyone wears to get them up Astroman?
Starve the trolls.
Use your own filter.
Don't sit next to the town drunk.
etc...

The best is how we have a "distinct" lack of class, rather than a regular ol' lack of class. You're alright Avery!
Jefe for the win!

Supertopo is great site, but it's in grave danger of becoming irrelevant. Sure, plenty of folks are posting, but climbing is becoming a very distant second to mindless babble.
Yeah it sure has gone downhill since you joined up on March 13, 2014!
