Yeah, and what about the other Dr. ? The most entertaining characters seem to get chased away with a big stick.

In reply to: Yeah, and what about the other Dr. ? The most entertaining characters seem to get chased away with a big stick. you talking about DrKodos? i think he was "asked to leave" for some inappropriateness... but i can't for the life of me think of where i got that information, so it may not be credible.

As a general rule this site does not discuss the reasons that any particular person is asked to leave. We will state however that a person needs to try really really hard and practically beg for us to take that sort of extreme action. All one has to do is to maintain a civil discourse with other members and there is then no way that they would be asked to leave. When we do ask a person to leave we have the welfare of the great majority of users in mind. Out of the many thousands of users on this site there would only be one user a year if that that we have had to ask to leave for reasons other than spam or porn. We bend over backwards to accomodate varying and different opinions on this site. Just because you have a different opinion from your fellow user and hold strongly to that opinion will never be cause for us to ask you to leave. I am of course giving a for instance here and not speaking of any particular person or circumstance. We would far and away prefer to allow a user to make themselves look like idiots than take preemptive action and the mods be seen as nazi mods. The principle of the users self modding is a raging success and we have no intention of changing this policy. We definitely will act against spammers forthwith, they get nuked immediately no warnings given and against users who drop porn images into posts, they get a warning but if they persist they are shown the door, we don`t make apologies for doing so either. We take all of your opinions into consideration when formulating the policies that the mods adhere to. Of course any user can state their case for change in the suggestions and questions forum. But if you ask me to relate the reasons for any person not being around any longer then I have to refuse. I speak only in generalities for the most part when dealing with these issues.

So, how come all the great supervilains have "Dr." names? Do you think they actually hold a diploma or is it just self-imposed out of ego? Dr. Doom Dr. Claw Dr. Evil Dr. Piton Dr. Kødøs I wonder if that little albino freak Dragon has a doctorate... Maybe he's just too classy to flaunt it.

Too bad he's not here. He was a wealth of information and was very entertaining. Rc.com is missing out.

You may get some liquid out of them, but it is not at all what you would deem usefull. The full story is out there, if you care to dig a bit.

Heh, when my mom was a young blushing bride, my pops took her to the old homestead, a farm near the gulf of the St-Lawrence. My mom, innocent young thing, asked my great uncle if bulls produced cream. My great uncle showed her the difference. It's been a long-standing joke in our family.

In my opinion, RC.com basically mad a mistake in managing its users.. .. the aid forum is all but dead .. not just because they booted pete, but because the population of aid climbers (experienced or not) is basically single digits. .. something inthe management of the site has to do with the # of aid climbers that still care to post around here. .. they should invite pete back to the forum, and also send out invitations to the other users who have left to come back and revive the aid forum. -- even if 1/2 the threads were flames .. there was still useful info being traded once in a while.

In reply to: .. the aid forum is all but dead .. not just because they booted pete, but because the population of aid climbers (experienced or not) is basically single digits. Not sure what there is to say about that -- if you're an aid climber, you're going to end up on SuperTopo sooner or later, as best as I can tell. It seems rather quixotic to fight the self-organization of people into groups, or the migration of those groups to their natural homes. If you're mostly climbing walls in Yosemite, you're probably going to end up spending more time there than at other sites. What else is there to say? For what it's worth, much of the discourse even on SuperTopo has little or nothing to do with aid climbing, or any type of climbing for that matter. There are not many recent Dr. Piton topics over on ST, either, now that I think of it. At least, not the old-school "Better Way" threads familiar to old-tymers on this site. Your opinion about Pete is noted, but I can tell you right off the bat that it ain't gonna happen. People who put a lot of effort into making themselves persona non grata usually succeed.

Pete conducting a 'better way' seminar there would be like me advising Mike Reardon on the dangers of free soloing. He stuck his piton in the air a few times and it was pounded soundly. Tough crowd.
