you are truly missing out on the cultural experience of being an american. in fact, your admission will probably have homeland security paying you a visit soon.

Ken Nichols convicted and fined for bolt chopping
olyclimber replied to billcoe's topic in Rock Climbing Forum
Well, I'm actually not a proponent of required "real name" posting either, but this is what I find strange: What does this have to do with getting threats from people at work, etc? Seems like a "holier than thou" statement to me. In the end, while I think debating things (such as bolting or not bolting) can be useful, but because of the the characters and egos involved (sure...maybe on both sides of the fence, eh?), this board and this thread in particular never seems to actually achieve any meaningful discourse....like a bunch of people shouting into an empty room. Sometimes it does seem that is intentional, and a smarter person could "stay above it" by just not participating when it gets to that point. I'll take my own advice and respect myself enough to extract myself from this particular conversation. Night F! -

Then why would you participate in such a debate? Don't you lose just by entering it? I respectfully and completely disagree. It is a valid point. Unless you're a complete troll, if you have risen above the "disrespectful debate" as he seems to have claimed to have done, then what does he have to be ashamed of in associating himself with.....himself? If you're truly ashamed of participating or associating with those who participate, then stop. He comes off no more respectable than the people he criticizes. His posts (like anyones here) are his sole property. What does he have to be afraid of? That someone will recognize that he posted and then some "disrespectful" person posted some crap after that? Does he actually fear being associated with this board? Then why does he continue to log on? It isn't necessarily a case of cowardice...it seems to me that it is a question of self respect. Why continue to contribute a conversation of people you have no respect for if you value your own time? Claiming to post in an authoritative manner does carry some personal responsibility. Otherwise, you're not that authoritative, are you? -

Very, very funny. So you're saying that you really don't want your real name associated with your own posts? You do realize you are just validating the argument anyone might make for putting your real name out there, don't you? I'm actually a proponent of allowing people to continue to use "screen names" which permit relative anonymity (though the personalities do come out anyway, don't they?). But what you are saying is that you would rather not have your name associated with what you post (which should stand apart from what anyone else has to say). You're saying that you can't stand behind your own arguments, because you're embarrassed to do so. Maybe thats not what you intend to say, but read what you wrote and think about it. If you don't actually want your name associated with this debate, then don't post. Respect yourself and don't waste your time if it is so beneath you.
