Your "ground" is the garbage dump.
Sometimes a Trip Report isn't to amuse Bone in his garbage dump. Sometimes a trip report is to let people know about conditions of a route or location. Sometimes it is just to serve as a reminder to get out. Sometimes a trip report doesn't need pictures because the writing is entertaining enough. There are other reasons.
Spray is fun, but here is an opinion that I'm not alone in sharing (and in fact has been shared with me by no small number of people): This site would be better off if you posted less Kevbone. It actually pains me to have to say this, because I'm not joking at all. I think you do share some fun things, you are a talented artist on the guitar, and you have a wonderful family. But your personality and where you lead a lot of the conversations even in Spray has just turned off a lot of people. I know you have your supporters and friends, and not everyone is turned off by you. But your tireless "Everything is Spray" campaign is precisely what many people disagree with you on. Other people are capable of delineating between communicating wankery and actual good information (meaningful content or stoke). You apparently aren't.
I have always been of the mind that Spray should be an open playground for fun and amusement. That approach has let to a lot of fun times over the years. It has also led to some pretty ugly situations.
We have never banned someone for being a complete idiot before. There has to be some sort of malice attached.
The topic of this thread is so fucking stupid it hurts, and serves as a sample of why people are turned off by the discussions you create (and in great number) and lead them to other more interesting venues on the Internet at the cost of this site.
Again, it pains me to say this stuff. I don't think you are a bad person, I just wish you would STFU up sometimes.
And Ivan is not a god here, but he does actually contribute. And in the eyes of many, even if his TRs are more entertainment than informative, his contribution is godlike compared to what you have given us.
