His post didn't come across as remorseful. Rather, it seems he got scared and is trying to save face.

I let nutter's comment about my ASSUMENESS slide... I figured he may be ESL. He's still clueless, regardless.

The response shares disturbing similarities to the "scout masters" who toppled the rock to protect lives.

Name calling - classy.

I'll follow it up with this - is mchrist having an affair with Erica Kane??? Find out tomorrow as supertopo deliberates!

Edit. Again pointing out grammar errors and phone misspellings to show how much better you are then (or is it than) others - wow you are so much better than (then) me.

I figured you were clueless. Didn't realize you were a fuking idiot.

So Ethan didn't cut any trees down.

It's a good thing the supertopo detectives launched a campaign against his livelihood and character, just in case.

Ron ^^^^
Collaborators share the guilt, even if silent.

Nothing ruins an apology more than an excuse.

Edit: at least he came forward and admitted it. Kudos for that.

Thanks for making my point with the continued conjecture.

I've never seen so much spray in an "apology"

So, where is this crag? Looks excellent!

Oh, that's right, locals (or visiting sponsored climbers) only.

Judging by the rock, I have a general idea.

Hearing this I nearly died. I had no clue and I felt completely awful.

No clue? Did not know that cutting down a live tree was wrong? I call BS.

Joe is fortunate enough to spend the majority of his life in the outdoors. He visits wild and amazing places on a regular basis and has done so for years. IMHO there is NO WAY he did not know that the tree was alive and that cutting it down was wrong. With that in mind, he flat out lied in his "apology." That tells me a lot about his character. Personally, I find it hard to forgive someone that doesn't even honestly admit their guilt.

Well, that's a far cry from Abe Lincoln's humble admission.

Wow. So Lame to do this ....

I do hope all sponsorship is revoked.

Never let these Fu#ks go to Suicide, or we might be missing a tree.

I don't think all had to be lost yet for the kid.
People are mostly fair.

If I was him I world offer 500 hours worth of time working on habitat reconstruction.
Works out to about 15 hours a day 7 days a week for 5 weeks.
Essentially a drop in the bucket of what many professionals give all over the world.

He could even blog about the work he is doing and be a really incredible example of honor to his sponsers.

That would be awesome. It would show that he takes responsibility for his actions and is willing to step-up to make it right. However, I doubt that will happen. He doesn't come across as that kind of a person in his writing. It doesn't seem like he is sorry, just sorry he got caught. I could be 100% wrong, but my guess is that as soon as this thread and the discussion on social media stops, Joe will go back to business as usual.
