Gary_Yngve Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 I was out of town for a few days, and it looks like this place has gone to hell! Who is that Brett character anyway, and why should I feel sorry for him? Quote

catbirdseat Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 I was out of town for a few days, and it looks like this place has gone to hell! Who is that Brett character anyway, and why should I feel sorry for him? What are you talking about? Look at all the trip reports that have been filed while you were away. Both of them. Quote
minx Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 (edited) this kind of language belongs in spray. sheesh gary. edited for sensitivity Edited April 18, 2006 by minx Quote
DirtyHarry Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 If Gary wanted to be sensitive and considerate for the feelings of others he can always sign up on nortwestclimbers.com. I'm sure Brett would love to have almost fifteen members. Quote
chucK Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 People, people, Gary has been away and doesn't yet understand the rules of our new forum. I think it would be reasonable to give him a chance, don't you? I see no need for all these harsh exclamation points. Quote
minx Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 chuck, of course you're right. i've had a cup of herbal tea and have my wits about me again. i'll edit the exclamation points immediately. that was so insensitive of me. Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted April 18, 2006 Author Posted April 18, 2006 Did you hear the story about yerba mate? Two goddesses (moon and cloud) were wandering through the land in human form when they were threatened by a huge tiger. A nearby hunter wounded the animal with an arrow and told the women to run. But the women were too paralyzed in fear to move, and the tiger drew closer. This time the hunter's aim was dead-on, and before he could check on the women, they had transformed back to goddesses and flew away. That night, the hunter was visited by the moon goddess in his dreams and was thanked for his selflessness and courage. She told him that he should return the next day to the spot in the woods where he last saw them and he would be rewarded. He did, and lo and behold, he discovered a plant growing there to satisfy the hunger and thirst of his people. Quote
