What are you implying?

You mean there is a board out there that bans people for their opinions?

HARRRRRRRRRRRR!

Hey, shouldn't this be posted in THE NEW WHO GIVES A FUCK FORUM?

If it's the same Greg that Tim knows we'll be down there in a couple of weeks and can pick them up.

Oct 21-28

I had a guy in a Porsche make a jacking off signal to me the other day, but I think he was just pissed that my car is faster.

I think they are looking at each other, while rolling around in the billions of dollars of black government contracts they have, and saying "Guess he's never been to Groom Lake."

Chuck I will come to Pub Club just to see the look on your face drinking one of those!

Greg, I don't care what bumper sticker you put on your truck but if I catch you doing your makeup again going 25 in a 30 your getting the finger!

beer with caffeine!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to write us an email, I'll try to get back to you by weeks end.

Hey the media just spent millions of dollars to cover a mountain farting.

I... I... I... I KNOW HOW THIS WORLD WORKS!!!! ROFL

Is there somewhere on the net that has an unbiased review of Kerry's Vietnam record, tours of duty, time spent, etc.? I would certainly never call him a coward.

Yes I plan on responding to all of them.

Actually I have received a number of good emails, and pictures will be posted shorly on ratemypoo.com, thanks to everyone who wrote in. A few of them were rather short and really didn't offer much, that was my point. Dru, write an email dude.

I had an interesting conversation with my uncle last night. He is voting for Bush, and a lot of it has to do with Kerry's Vietnam service. According to him, Kerry got out of Vietnam 8 months early because of a loophole. Now granted if I was over there I'd probably like to come home too. Anyways, as everyone knows Kerry got 3 purple hearts, which has been subject to much controversy, and he didn't spend a day in the hospital. To put it into perspective my grandfather flew B-17s in WWII, and on their 22 mission had an accident over England, a flare gun went off in the cabin somehow, it bounced of the windshield and hit my grandfather in the head. The plane caught on fire and he miraculously got out, but most of his men did not. He was severely burned, had a broken back and leg, and spent a week in the hospital. He got one purple heart. He also retired as a Col. and only now am I finding out about some of the stuff that he was involved with, years after laying him to rest in Arlington. My uncle told me that there wasn't day to day atrocities that Kerry claims and my uncle was over there for quite longer than Kerry was, and he worked for the CIA in Laos at one point. He believes that Kerry's antiwar demonstrations prolonged the war because the people in the North, who according to him were very smart because monitoring them was part of his work, believed that the pressure in the US to pull out was so strong that the North Vietnamese decided to stay in the war. He believes, and he quoted a book by one of these guys, that the war would have ended much sooner if it wasn't for this and his best friend wouldn't have been killed. BTW this is the first time he is ever talked about Vietnam to me. I'm sure my uncle's bitterness about Vietnam plays into this, but it's interesting to hear this from someone who truely served in the military. This isn't an anit Kerry rant, I'm voting for the person I dislike the least here, just some interesting perspective.

OOOOOOKKAAAAAAY GREG! Actually Greg my dear friend, I believe you and myself have fallen victim to the same hateful discrimination, and I hope you and I together can transcend the social constructs of indentity theft and help make the internet a kinder and friendlier place, not just for us, but for our children.

WHATEVER DUDE NOBODY BELIEVES YOU!

You know, I find it fascinating, albeit not suprising at all, that people can spend hours a day on here and have thousands of posts, some in which they complain endlessly about the way we do things around here, yet they can't find the time to write us an email offering suggestions on how we can better serve you with a free website. So far I have received three emails that has something that qualifies as content, and it's not even from people who posted in this thread. Go figure.

Klenke, you ever take into consideration that maybe the reasons have been deleted. DUH! Tell you what, instead why don't you read my post, send us an email, and I'll tell you why. Wow, my inbox is really filling up, I'm not even in turtle head country!

I just got back from lunch, as much as I didn't want to do it I thought about all of this, because it got my mind off of work. Anyways a bunch of people here think that banning people suck, and I would whole hardedly agree, but in the spirit of being Seattle everyone does a good job complaining about something/everything but never offers a well described alternative or solution. In the 4 years we have run the board I don't think we have had more than a handful of suggestions, and most of them came from people who would eventually become moderators. So in an effort to be more proactive I'm going to invite everyone to send Tim and I an email to tell us what you like and don't like about the website, what your thoughts about banning and moderation are, as well as anything else your little hearts desire to talk about. Please provide possible solutions to things you see wrong. For now you can send them to (climb) @ cascadeclimbers DAT com (not sure why I do this, I don't thinks it's humanly possible to get more spam) and in the subject put "Suggestion Box", and after I read everything I will show selected bits and pieces to the moderators, try to respond to reoccuring things publically, and we might even respond to you privately. From now on complaints will be handled in this manner and not on the board, and while complaining in public is a lot of run, it accomplishes absolutely nothing. If I get more than 5 responses I will shit my pants and post the pictures for you to see.

Where is the 5 plus Infinite Bliss theads?

That'd be me. And me. I think I did at least once. Yes. Wow not me. At least twice. Fairweather, am I a liberal? Because I'm not even sure. LOL Whatever happened with that manifesto thing you posted btw?
