i didn't rip in too him... i ripped into SHERMAN!  
  
According to what i gather you are saying, we oughta just do away w/ all ratings then?!?!    
  
and i fail to see how bouldering is a "stupid" pastime.    
don't read too far in between the lines. 
Boulderin ratings are Dumb 
Boulderin is a stupid past-time when I can't climb real BIG rocks that require ropes, gear, gumption, etc.
