Before I even begin, I will admit to being only a beginner climber, a lurker, a poor speller (I teach chem), and a gaper.
I have been following this sight before "Muir on...", and have been amussed by the likes of Dwayne, PP, CrazyPolishBob, Dennis, Dru, Cavey, et al. But I don't think that the moderators enforce the rules evenly and fairly, and in fact the moderators need policing. It seems as if you are in the inner clique, you can do a lot more, than if you are a member of the general public.
If you remember Bonzo, who was just a terrible person, and was justifiably banned. Several times I have read posts that alluded to the fact that Bonzo was one of the moderators. It seems that this person is in no way fit for the job. Then there is Eric's posts which always feature a rather intimidating black gang member. I think this is clearly problematical given the lilly white nature of this sport. I wonder why Jon and Tim allow such behavior from their people.
