John Frieh Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Could you post links to posts in which I bagged someone who couldn't climb 5.10? I'd be curious to see them. I'd also be curious to see who agree with your comment: TR's are boring unless you do something that someone hasn't done before or you epic. I think you should post a poll to see if others agree or disagree with you. Before I joined the site my “climbs to do” list was big... since joining the site and reading others TRs my “climbs to do” list has roughly tripled. Additionally it has prompted me to explore alternate climbing styles that I had previously dismissed based on the success others had in a TR. So I welcome and encourage anyone to post a TR for anything. Finally and most importantly: I am the first to admit I am egotistical… to the point it borders on shallow; it is something I constantly struggle with… As improbable as it might sound; I have actually decreased the size of my ego over the years . The site definitely keeps me humble... or at least cuts me down to size… I think the other problem is my writing style in conjunction with the anonymous nature of a message board only propagates the perceived size of my ego... I would argue of the few people who have met me after reading my various posts most would agree I am just another passionate climber chasing his passion... nothing more… nothing less. I apologize if you can't swallow my ego... I can tell most people choke on it. But if you are willing to be patient with me I promise to try and put up with you. Peace!

Ireneo_Funes Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 But seriously, Scott -- a guy who's used the expression "cowboy up" automatically loses the right to make fun of anyone else. For thirty days. Or you can pay a fine of 10 bootied bd neutrinos. Your call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 And my previously posted request always stands: If you don't like me on the board; pm me and ask me to leave... if I get a notable response I will. I will keep the PMs anonymous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_harpell Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 TR's are boring unless you do something that someone hasn't done before or you epic. That is why I don't post them unless something notable happens. I hate reading lame Toof TR's but if they are funny and injected with some humour they are fun too. I was just telling you why I don't write as many, not making judgments on others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John "Quit your whining Kirb... we topped out just fine if I recall... Maybe if you trained a little more you could follow 11c instead of jug it… " Good catch but I work and climb with Kirb dog... As his cube is right next to mine I make sure to fart with my ass pushed against the cube wall on a daily basis... in addition to heckling him on line. FYI I also work with Illini so he also gets online heckling (my leg hurts...) Honestly Ron climbs harder than me... its a shame he has only gone climbing twice this year (are you reading this ron?).

scott_harpell Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 and NOLSE please don't tell me you are denying that you talk shit to people taht can't, as you say, "pull-down." One might make the argument that you can't pull-down either. At least I know that climbing 5.11 is weak-sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_harpell Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 fuck that! I am not searching for your verbal masterbation so can find proof that shit stinks. Your an asshole and you said as much just a few posts ago. You are demeaning and you are an elitist that isn't in the elite. How pathetic are you?

John Frieh Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I'll give you over the weekend... I'm going climbing so that should give you enough time especially if I'm as bad as you claim. Ciao! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camilo Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I met NOLSe at Tuff Love a few weeks ago, he was one of the first people to walk up and talk to my antisocial ass and my two friends. He seemed just fine to me. Then I came back and read some of his past posts and what I saw more of was people calling him a chestbeater for silly little things. If there's a little ego thrown in every once in a while, I didn't notice and besides, who gives a shit? How about this: from now on, whenever I see NOLSe post anything, I'll call him a chestbeater or arrogant. That'll save you all the trouble. I'll even start today. And I like trip reports even for stuff that's been done before. So if there's a trip report for something that's been done before, how about you don't read it? If you see a TR for Das Toof, just pretend it says "[TR]My foreskin" and don't bother reading it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
