Sounds cowardly to attack someone from behind the veil of anonimity.

Don-
Who is that directed at?
I deleted my earlier posts as they took thread drift a bit to far down a dark road.

No idea, whoever kunlun shan was referring to who chased her off the forum. I don't know what was deleted or what that has to do with it. People on this forum can be especially mean, particularly when anonymous.

Tami's departure from this forum bums me out tremendously. It's a double whammy. Her totally wonderful contributions are missing, and the fact that she was creeped off the site. I haven't met her in person, but based on all evidence, that woman is no hothouse flower. I would say that I hope she's lurking, but I don't think I can wish that on someone I admire.
I will check out the podcast.

I heard from Tami back in June that she was being harassed on the forum, and was amazed that the culprit is someone she has known for close to 40 years.
Some weird things happen when people post online. Can't we all just get along!

edit:
vvvv the "culprit" is someone she knows in real life... starting long before Al Gore's invention....

^^^The net wasn't here 40 years ago. Even weirder things happen when you're a hot climbing chick surrounded by a preponderance of psycho male narcs.

WHAT!
I mean ... WTF: over!
No more Tami Whammy on the forum? This is highly irregular and TOTAL BS.
We need that feisty firecracker here. NEED.
Oh well. Best thing we can do is hang the skull and cross bones at half-mast for a spell…
And … AND … Get real pissed off for a stretch. Maybe break some (cheep) glassware … You know, let it all out.
And then, THEN: I recommend everyone ... every last f*#king one of us stop posting for a full two weeks in protest, and in honor of our fallen heroine.
Did I spell that right? She is like one of those good drugs that make you giddy and laugh deep into the night.
I liked the podcast!
Especially her opener:
I don't believe in those old-school/new-school paradigms, because I think it it pops people into ugly little boxes. I think there's a fluidity in the climbing movement that goes back to oog & erg playing around by the campfire when they had, you know, filled up on mammoth meat …  Long live Zelda!!!

OMG! Does she go by another name Paula Poundstone???
If you don’t know who she is, no need to Google. The resemblance is in the way of speaking anyway. (Example)
I enjoyed the interview even though I didn’t know who she was prior. Afterwards, I felt like apologizing for not having known who she was.
