The sad f#$%ing truth

...you'll find that this is still an active, rich climbing website and a great place to hook up with stellar partners and new friends.

With this I would have to fully agree, especially after last weekend.

And, just for the record, Porter's photograph is one of the most beautiful I've seen anywhere.

As for the whining about the "cc culture", certain posters seem to confuse Spray, which was designed to corral recreational insulting from the rest of the site. Any time you wanna stop posting in or reading spray and limit yourself to the rest of the site, you'll find that this is still an active, rich climbing website and a great place to hook up with stellar partners and new friends.

 

I.e, STFU, whiny bitches.

 

Are you seriously arguing that the pointless put downs and personal attack that characterize cc.com to a large extent take place only in spray?

 

I am on an almost daily basis telling my friends that if they simply overlook the sociopathic behavior of what is really a relatively small number of posters they'd find that this is an "active, rich climbing website and a great place to hook up with stellar partners and new friends" (your words). Sadly, most people just can't overlook that stuff.

 

CC.COM is great, but your form of "recreation" - particularly where it spills over to non-spray threads - prevents it from becoming greater. Whine on.

I have met more non-douchebag partners and drinking buddies on this site than anyother hands down. Everyone I met on other sites were absolute tool bags and i wanted to cut the rope and push them off snow creek wall.

 

I think climbing attracts some type-A's and this is what happens. Part of the sport. Don't like it? Pose on another site or take up badminton.

Um...fuck you. When was the last time you posted a trip report, pal? How are you adding to the rich content of this site, exactly, these days? And I don't spray outside of spray. Nor does anyone else, as far as I can tell, at least not after some bitch slapping by the mods some months ago. The rest of the site seems pretty damn friendly. And hey, there's always NWHikers.

 

You're just personally down on the Spray thing, but you can't stop indulging in it, which is, frankly, your problem, not ours.

dude you don't know WTF you're talking about. those badminton sites are brutal! you have no idea what you're in for.

 

although i will say, i haven't met many folks from cc.com that were what expected based on their posts. and i've met a few good climbingdrinking parnters here.

I was the asshole you thought I was. Right babe?

[minx]

exactly! that's why i've never roped in with you. that and the fact that i don't climb.

Is that a double entendre?

[mattp]

Um fuck you too. I rarely intervene in your amusing yourself here. The fact that you can't take my statement without going to the "fuck you place" speaks volumes, dude.

 

(And, I'll say, I have been unable to climb anything worthy of a trip report for six months due to serious back pain caused by a degenerative arthritis condition aggravated by spending too much time at work. Just because you have time and money and health to do nothing but climb doesn't make you into jesus christ. Meanwhile, I contribute to the site as much as anybody, organizing work parties, social events, and trying to add constructive comment and real information where I have somethign to contribute.)

 

Carry on.

I can't curse at a woman... damn it. I hate that.

 

 

 

Oh and before you go find one of my old posts, Allison doesn't count

You got an appropriate FU because a) you made it personal and b) you insinuated that "my form of recreation" took place outside of spray, i.e., I don't keep it in the playpen. I do, plus I add a fair bit of climbing content to the site, which seems to be well received from the comments I get, so I'll just keep doing what I'm doing, thanks.

[minx]

 

funny, i can curse all the fucking time.

[mattp]

Please accept my appropriate fuck you. You add much to the site. Not all of it is positive in my humble opinion.

[tvashtarkatena]

This comment after whining about how the Cascades are a two bit mountain range. I guess we go by different definitions of what constitutes positivity.

 

OK, that's enough FUs for one morning.

I'm sorry to have hurt your feelings but this is spray. I didn't spread my ill will outside of spray so it doesn't matter, right?

[tvashtarkatena]

I'm not talking to you. You're mean.

[billcoe]

As a friend of mine said when I asked him if he ran with any of these guys on internet.No , he said,Everybody there is so sad.Running with any of them would just bring me down.

 

I don't know where this was coming from, although I do suspect that it might have been a thread like this wherein the previous 29 posts had people saying fuck you back and forth like 4 year olds who've learned new words to each other.

 

 

Does "Fuck U" mean "Hail fellow well met" in Italian or something?

[jjd]

Sadly, most people just can't overlook that stuff.
