It seems to me, that there is a humongous difference between:
Trying something and failing
And
Saying you are going to try something, yet never trying

"oh crap don't piss me off"
Matt,
In case you forgot, you short-ass Napoleonic complex little f*#ker, she retracted it all since it was lies she made up to make me look bad, because she is a very sweet lady who really loved me a lot, and was hurt that our relationship didn't work out. She and I remain friends. However before she deleted her profile here, and the posts she made, I kept screenshots of her retractions and her apologies.
That you would post personal emails from a hurt lady is appalling.
You little dipshit piece of sh#t. Clearly your brain is as small as your stature, or you would recall this.
F*#k you. See you on the bridge, you pathetic little microbe short-ass motherf*#ker.

oh really?
want me to post the email she sent me saying the semi-retractions were just because you terrify her and she was worried about how you might retaliate?
kinda makes her retractions ring hollow...
edit-
btw, you might be surprised to see the emails i can dig up that people you know have sent me to encourage me heckling you, wanna see them posted?
i kinda think you are the microbe, and i can post up...
keep talkin.

I've been doing a lot of research and interviews the last couple days, and I have found some AMAZING stuff about the WoS story that will make you guys' heads spin, if only I am allowed to print it. It was told to me confidentially and off the record, and so I can't repeat it. I was simultaneously shaking my head in disbelief, so incredible is it that such things actually happened, and laughing so hard the tears were rolling down my cheeks.
I've demo'd about ten bags of popcorn already today, and it's not even over yet. I know stuff. I am trying to negotiate its release!
Stay tuned, because the Wings of Steel story has only been partially revealed. And the stuff you haven't read is certainly some of the best!!!

Did someone take a slight detour from the posting while drunk thread?
Ahhhh life is good.
taco makes it better
Climbing and the climbing world is a stupid way to prove your worth.
But it's entertaining watching people try.
This thread delivers!

Thanks, Clint.
I'm working on interviewing as many people as possible who were actually there during the first ascent of Wings of Steel, so if you were there, and would like to share your recollections, please contact me through this website.
I plan on contacting everyone I can find who was there - supporters, detractors, observers - to try to get a feel of what they saw, what they thought and felt, and how the whole thing went down. I'm particularly interested in how people's opionions may have changed or mellowed through the years, and why.
And I am really trying to find more than the one single person I have who has issued an apology. [good luck on that one, eh?]
