ClimbingPanther Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Here's a little eye-opener. You try to give the guy a chance and help him out and what do you get? I never used the ignore yet, not even on Kevbone, but this guy is just too much! If he's for real, then his has got to be the biggest and blindest ego I've ever seen. Such a shame it has been wounded so badly here! ClimbingPanther enthusiast Registered: 07/21/05 Posts: 304 Loc: The Tri, WA I'm not sure what to think about you yet, but you seem to occasionally make a meaningful post so I won't write you off. Here's a tip to make all of our experiences better on this site. We're not a bunch of ego-driven blowhards, and we're not summit-crazed unsafe maniacs, so don't try to insinuate this and nobody will get angry with you. I don't know what type of "climbers" you are used to meeting, but the vast majority of people on this site are not stupid and we know the risks. We all read more than our fair share of info about the recent tragedies, and we've had about enough discussion at this point. There's really nothing new that anybody can add, so we're tired of people bringing it up. I don't know if you are the same person as the Shiniwhatever/Seahawk/beartoothMT/etc, but you sound just like him sometimes and everybody hates that guy. If you really do appreciate the people on this site who come across as more moderate and conciliatory, then try to be like them! Credibility is gained here not by being the best climber in the world or summiting the best mountains, but by contributing meaningful and/or funny posts and refraining from holier-than-thou rants.

People on this site are the biggest assholes I have ever met on any forum anywhere. A forum is supposed to be a place for discussion and conversation, but that is not possible when some pencil dick like yourself simply jumps on the new guy because they don't know him. It is pointless to try to talk with such juveniles. I could care less about gaining respect from such a bunch of dildoes.

Note the juvenile name change they gave me to "clueless twit"...really, really mature. This group seems like a bunch of 16 yr. olds stuck in their parents basement.

JayB Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Good points. If there's one thing that's characteristic feature of my contributions here that really stands out, it's the absence of holier-than-thou rants. It's really too bad that others can't learn from my example. Quote
olyclimber Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Well, not to pat my own back, but during the days of wool I turned away just 20 feet from the summit of K2 because I got a bad feeling in my gut. Its a thing that experienced climbers who can hold their own feel. If you haven't felt it, you probably shouldn't be climbing without a guide like me. Anyway, just as I turned away a big storm blew in. If I hadn't turned back, I would not be here posting today. I'm just posting this to educate you. Quote
spotly Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 The "clueless wit" thing, while arguably juvenile is kind of funny. Not that I agree with it, just...well, it's amusing. I'm sure I'll earn a special name some day too. Quote
JayB Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I also think I should be singled out for praise an account of the keen sense of judgment that has enabled me to steer clear of the temptation to engage in futile political arguments on this site. I shudder to imagine how much time I would have wasted had I succumbed to the temptation to participate in any of those threads. Quote

It hard to believe such an opinionated person as yourself has let the liberals rape this site unchecked. Quote
spotly Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I think "member" will be fine after all. Quote

OLY - two questions....is this true?...if so, how long would the last 20 feet have taken you? Quote
ClimbingPanther Posted December 29, 2006 Author Posted December 29, 2006 All this has got me thinking about the philosophy of summitting. I just keep thinking about how you have to believe you can do it, no matter what stands in your way. Oly, you really remind me of Luke Skywalker, not Yoda. Remember when Luke was trying to get his X-wing fighter craft out of the swamp, and couldn't do it, then Yoda did it for him? And Luke said "I don't believe it!" And Yoda said "That is why you failed." OK, talk amongst yourselves now. Quote

olyclimber Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I, for one, should be praised and given accolades for my moderate use of the site. It is the trademark of my well adjusted personality. Quote
TREETOAD Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Another thing I like about myself is the steady and unyeilding commitment I have made to have an opinion on every and any issue that may arise on this board, inane and banal (both words I learnt right here)as they may be. My unending willingness to disagree with anyone who may decide to say anything here is a commitment I will continue to uphold. That said, jonmf is and will continue to be a fucking idiot Quote
Dechristo Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 but, can he be stopped from fucking? Quote
Dechristo Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Has jonmf76 earned the receipt of the first cc.com mandatory castration award? Quote
TREETOAD Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) Oh yes he can, with a bit of bailing wire and some pliers! Edited December 29, 2006 by TREETOAD Quote
