The Chief...Is there something unethical about hating Republicans that hate 47% of America...?

Its a shame he stopped writing about climbing
Did he ever write about climbing outside of a guide book?
Genuinely curious.

Well, The has spoken. We can all rest easy now. I'm going to bed. Will ship out the pineapple juice in the morning. Koo-aid for those that prefer it.

This looks like it had nothing to do with politics or anything of the sort
but with a typical case of unadulterated d#@&%e- baggery by this Dr. F character.
I recall Dr. F on numerous occasions in the past openly calling on the mods to deactivate certain individuals.
Well, well , well what comes around goes around.
And the verdict Dr. F has wanted visited on others has eventually bit him the ass.
My advice to him, and his followers, is to shut the f*#k up and take it like a man.
You can dish it out but you can't take it. Now is your turn to take it in the shorts the same way you have dished it out.
How does it feel?

I think THE should write to Chris Mac and demand something be done about this.

I'm really late to this whole sh#t-show and have no idea what (or how) it all went down, but I just about spewed my beer onto the monitor reading that! ;-)

Haha. Are you guys serious that CMac needs to apologize? If I was him and had to deal with us "adults" acting like kids I'd nuke the whole site. Pretty sure he's got a lot better things to do than worry about posters hurting each other's feelings . I love to see bold climbers who can't handle a forum.

While we're mentioning the people who contributed to the religion vs science thread,it should be noted that some of the most thoughtful and time consuming contributions were done by Ed Hartouni from whom I learned a lot of science. Hopefully he kept copies as they were at a level to be publishable in a book of science for laymen. And no one can accuse Ed of not contributing enough climbing content to this site.
there are few threads that I've contributed to that I truly value... and I might turn some of those into documents more permanent than the bits whirling around on disks in some data center in Iceland...
I've said it a lot here, but the surprise of having "lost" a thread seems to indicate that no one is listening:
THIS SITE AND ALL ITS CONTENT ARE EPHEMERA
I didn't have backups of the stuff I wrote on that thread... though I might consider writing something about the same general topic in the coming years. SuperTopo forum is a great place to try out ideas and learn how to communicate. The feedback is relatively quick and you can interact with the audience... really perfect for writing.
But it's all practice.
Anyway, it's regretful that content disappears, but the managers of the site are under no obligation to keep it going forever.
What's the lifetime of SuperTopo LLC? it isn't infinite... what do you think will happen to the content once SuperTopo LLC no longer exists?

Dr. F posted about climbing. I remember doing a double take too, but it happened, occasionally.

What's the lifetime of SuperTopo LLC? it isn't infinite... what do you think will happen to the content once SuperTopo LLC no longer exists?--Ed Hartouni, a voice in the wilderness
We should have a serious talk about this with the man from NACHA, maybe over some chips and salsa, about that. There might be several ways to go about the saving of the cream here, and feeding the rest to the hogs, metaphorically.
Also, it is good practice writing here. It's more akin to "free writing," though, if any of you are familiar with that concept. I'm very partial to it, and it is just stream of consciousness, not to make a point, not at all. Just to get in touch with your mind to see what your are thinking, you can do it yourself and it's free, too. http://nataliegoldberg.com/books/writing-down-the-bones/
I'm happy with my poetry and hope others have enjoyed it. I get zero feedback from the gang, but that's the norm for poets.
It did not take me long to figure out that I really LIKE to create short things, not long things, because I haven't the temperament for longer things, but then many other writers have progressed through the same evolution, I'm certain, because nobody's all that different from the rest of the herd.
The bulk of folks here could write well if they took the time, if they had the time, which, fortunately for me, I have now I'm not a worker bee. But I want to keep alert, to keep learning, and thereby enjoy what's left of my life. If I cannot go climbing and all the rest of the things I used to love, it's the only reasonable thing for me to do and here I sit telling you about it.
But the main point I wish to make is that the content here, the really worthy content, needs to go into the vault, not the void. Chris has to have some idea of what he would like to see happen and I hope this gets settled before long, I fervently wish for this, because it's so important to so many of us and to the future us's, as well, if only for the amusement they might get out of our quaint ways.
