Disappointed with you goat. You don't know what has been done, and it bugs me when ANYONE who posts racist epithets gets lionized for trolling.
Oh I'm sorry old sport, a week in NYC has me reverting back to that scathing sense of humor that can be misunderstood by the more literal western types.
Besides you can't leave, what if someone has a question about the best weapons to scare off those doorknocking missionaries or needs to find the best bagel shop in Utah. Seriously holding a grudge against a dead man is unhealthy and could even stunt your growth, oh wait.

I think I started to change my perception of JDF when, in the midst of berating him for his scathing posts about Anna Nicole Smith, he posted up something about being depressed.
It was such an odd non sequitur. Something in it resonated with truth.
Jeff and I shared several emails after that (mostly about his battle with depression), and like I said earlier, I got to see the real person under the ST SuperTroll. He was an extremely likable guy, a genius in many ways, not to mention an ardent lover of Stoney Point. And severely depressed.
At one point, he posted up a photo of himself as a gangly youth sitting somewhere at Stoney. He was so cute in a daffy-puppy sort of way, with long hair and even longer legs, a goofy smile on his face.
I think that's how I'll remember him. I think he would like that.
BTW Toker Villian (if you haven't walked out that screen door yet), perhaps you are unaware that we forgive others not for their sakes, but for our own. Unforgiveness, hatred, anger, resentment...those are emotional cancers that will eat you up inside, while affecting the target of your disgruntlement not one bit.
Just look at how you got triggered on a memorial thread 5 years after the object of your resentment died. Now that is lionization.

I found this interesting.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_de_Fuca_Plate
The Juan de Fuca Plate is a tectonic plate generated from the Juan de Fuca Ridge and is subducting under the northerly portion of the western side of the North American Plate at the Cascadia subduction zone. It is named after the explorer of the same name.
One of the smallest of Earth's tectonic plates, the Juan de Fuca Plate is a remnant part of the once-vast Farallon Plate, which is now largely subducted underneath the North American Plate.

Just yesterday was sitting around with some old climbers and a bottle of wine shooting the breeze. Twice Batten came up in the conversation. No mention of suicide, just a few climbing anecdotes.
