I'm not going to list any shortcoming which he may have here(don't we all have some, some more than others I suppose), but I'll give him full credit for:
-some pretty awesome TRs/pictures
-working to conserve climbing
-helping newbs get into climbing
i believe what you are nitpicking about there smithisheaven is your spray in a topic which john is passionate about: protecting ice climbing in Hyalite. regardless of what you might think about someone, if you're really a climber you should think about respecting the efforts some people put forth in protecting all climbers access to an area.
of course this is spray, so spray on here, I don't care. john is not my bitch, but we happen to share the same concern for protecting access for climbers, that is certain.
