There must be a lot of those Flames threads to present such a problem.

Smacks of anti-Semitism to me.

I'm going to chime in since this thread is already a shitshow and doing exactly the opposite of what it was intended to do.

Ron said

and it doenst mean SQUAT if you dont like them.. YOU dont have to click on them. Thats the way this place works. Dont like it PAAALLLEEEEZE go elsewhere. Ill bet youd be groovy over at rcdotcom. BU bye..

I took a lengthy(well kinda) break from supertopo.
When I came back I couldn't believe how Ron has infested almost every single thread.
Instead of engaging, I just go elsewhere and guess what?
More Ron.
Aside from bumping quality off the front page, he has managed to sully(sorry sullly) many, many threads, ot or not.
I do think he's a knowitall that talks out of his ass on many topics, I rarely agree with his point of view(which is ok), and am often shocked by the things he says, and thinks are appropriate to say.
I'm certain he's a wealth of knowledge on some topics, but he acts like he's an expert on everything.
He is misinformed much of the time, often times ignorant to his own ignorance, and frankly, I'm sick of him. Never said it before, feels good! ;-)
Most times when I see his name I move on, only to see him in whatever else I want to read,
I consider Ron to be leading the charge of the decline on supertopo.
To know that you, Ron, report people frequently, pisses me off.
All this bullsh¡t drives people away from supertopo, at least people who may have good climbing content to share.
Ok, that's it from me.

Now maybe do as Jim asked in the OP of this thread.

Ron is the new LEB and Rajmit.
Just another blowhard to ignore.
I kind of feel sorry for him at this point
It must be sad to lead such a desperate life looking for
gratification and attention online.

I enjoy seeing bumps of threads that have interesting content, especially related to climbing or the outdoors life in general. However, I don't like the "carpet bombing" of BBST because someone has decided they don't like what is on the front page. It seems to do little good anyway because the threads that are "tedious" (being polite here) or politically driven are continually popping back up on the Chart Toppers anyway. Lost, then, are newer threads that may be interesting but are getting shuttled lower down on the Totem Pole.
I would hope that those who are BBSTing will be mindful of what they are choosing and doing it with the intent of re-sharing something of quality and interest and not just acting like a self righteous bully….

Hey, this forum is different things to different people.
Personally, I don't come on here to chat or debate or argue.
I'm more of a lurker/reader or a drive-by poster.
I like to share, mostly about climbing, or hand out props on climbing related posts.

Many of us are opinionated but some of us don't have filters or governors that make us pause before clicking "post this reply".

Differing opinions are a good thing, and yes, climbers will be climbers and bicker all night.
I like reading OT stuff, and when I'm repulsed by something I read by Ron, I rarely, if ever engage. I click away from that thread.
Problem is, he's always there, around the next bend. From Sea World to selfies, he's got an opinion and must post it, and it is often the start of a thread unraveling.

Does it "get to me"?
Not really, or you'd see me popping up more often telling him how I feel.
So Ron, this my opinion.
Put a lid on it once in a while.

Locker- Nicely communicated and reasonable IMO...

F*#k, now I'm chatting.

Ron said

Now you ask,, do i care what some dood in AZ or some chick in Canookville think of me??

Well I guess that's one difference between us.
If I said something that many people found offensive, I would stop and think about it.
Sometimes haters gonna hate, though.
This "community" is made up of people that care about each other to some extent, even if they only know each other through pixels.
Basically what locker just said.

Hang loose old dudes.

Ron is a narc on top of being a blowhard?
That is probably reason number one nobody here respects him.

There is so much more to ST than the front page. Surfing the front page is fun & all but it's kind of like riding under the chair at the ski hill & expecting waist deep pow every day. Go for a hike & explore if you want to find the goods!

The more I play with the search function & look beyond the front page the more fun I have on here.

So funny goatboyz stolen stone nudes pic has Jghedge as the credit, lol!!

Here's an account of what some people are doing to try to make ST a better place: photobombing!

Norton--the photobombing was started by the guy who calls himself "Jebus."

I have no idea why--seemed to be the start of some sort of meltdown.

Rightly or wrongly, the Chief then retaliated with his own photobombing, and they battled back and forth, with the photobombing settling on a derogatory cartoon of the Chief (from "Jebus") and a funny picture of a wasted guy, presumably Jebus or at least meant to represent Jebus (from the Chief).

I thought the Chief actually "won," and commented on that, but that brought forth more photobombing by Jebus, so I don't know if the photobombing has ended, or if we're just in a lull, or what.

Ron apparently reported "Jebus" to CMac, although it isn't clear that Ron really reports people to CMac or just threatens to (and takes "credit" when they get banned, even if that's unrelated to anything Ron did or didn't do).
I have never reported anyone to CMac, but the thought crossed my mind on this one, especially since the photobombing appeared to be unprovoked. Not that I have any idea if CMac would care or would do anything.

You can see all the fun at

bump. hoping to investigate some obscure NV slab this weekend. Looks like at least 300 ft on google earth. possibly up to 1500 if its not 4th class. Hoping to return with smething worthy of my 1st real TR, and maybe a FA.
