Weschrist, with all due respect....
Shut the f*#k up.
Not every thread needs to be about you.
Cheers!

Weschrist has no respect for the past.
Trolling is simply typical lazy cowardice.
Weschrist embodies everything I want my children to avoid becoming.
Unapologetic, disrespectful, with severe entitlement issues.
They make drugs for his type of chemical imbalance.
LITHIUM, PROZAC, HEMLOCK, CYANIDE just to name a few.
IMHO, the pioneers of climbing deserve a forum such as this.
We should all be thankful this forum exists, Weschrists or not.

I guess there comes a time when you realize that the most meaningful experience you will ever have are already behind you.
My philosophy (classical "Volstaggian" if you must know) suggests the opposite-that there is a 'most important' one coming up, though I am well past my "prime".

"I am the sh#t and you are the poo, It's nice out of me, but it stinks out of you"
That's a little zen song of mine that I just made up. I don't think it necessarily applies but
If you don't want the thread to be about Wes, just ignore him or post spray about him in a separate thread. Why kill the buzz when you don't have to?
Peace

Say, did Lord Slime ever post to the Taco?
Now there's some Internet climbing history.

Itīs a simple enough little verse, and yet it haunts . . .
Last campfires never die,
And you and I on separate trails to life's December,
Will always dream by this last fire,
And have this mountain to remember. ...

I think I've said this before, but my mom used to tell me, "Profanity is the effort of a small mind to try to assert itself forcefully." And in that vein, small minds that have no insight into their heritage or the beauty and value of those who went before will never appreciate any type of reminiscence.
I'm not sure if I heard it said, or if I am just making it up, that the present could not exist without both past and future, and yet neither present, past, or future truly exist, because we are never in any one of them (the present least of all, which always is instantly vanishing). We never arrive at the future, for by definition it is always out there waiting for us, even enticing us. As for the past, we have only impressions, that we attempt to gather in gracefully, if possible, and not as chaos, and there is the reality: the picture we make of these ethereal realms, as together, so very mysteriously, they create us.

I clicked the link to the Lord Slime post on rec. Pure, unadulterated, hard core cyberscrapping..... hahaha. I especially liked his signoff ("As always, go f*#k yerself,")

Slime - you should sign up over at Supertopo. Pretty much everyone else here has. Everyone would love to see you over there, I'm sure.

Oh yeah, a quick peruse of that r.c thread reminded me why I left that group.
I cherish Oli's quote: "Profanity is the effort of a small mind to try to assert itself forcefully."

I never figured out what the obsession is with that slime character. A clever internet flamer who swears a lot? dime a dozen.

"Clever" is the key. Truly clever internet personnas are not a dime a dozen.
Luckily, Supertopo is the clearinghouse of clever climbers, and does have them a plenty. And, though there are a few of an unadvanced age, the majority of them are the oldie and goodies, to which this thread was originally dedicated. That's what makes Supertopia an internet utopia.
Long live the old guys! And may they never get arthritis in their knuckles or carpel tunnel syndrome....at least before the get voice recognition software!

"I never figured out what the obsession is with that slime character. A clever internet flamer who swears a lot? dime a dozen."
Rec.climbing used to be the only show on the internet, and the regulars there were a sort of disfunctional family just like here, only it was smaller and a different crowd. Slime is/was a very outspoken part of that family.
When I first started reading rec.climbing (before I'd purchased my first peice of gear) he was one of the bullsh#t-callers that helped gumbies like me get my bearings.
I miss everyone at rec.climbing. Lots of recdot folks post here now, but the context is different. The old connection has sort of unraveled.

rec.climbing died with the 9600 bps modem...
And yet oddly it's still kickin' too, sometimes with humor and creativity as good as anything seen here.
