According to this particular yes-man, making fun of our ludicrous moderation "staff" is now tantamount to disrespecting dead people in front of their family. I can't figure out if this guy is a total retard or completely brilliant. Thoughts, anyone?

The reference to the dead was - very, very clearly - regarding the purpose of that thread, to get feedback on whether or not RC.com users who have died in climbing accidents should somehow be memorialized here. The fact that the thread went off topic and into a rehash of who thinks what about the new owners is what he was talking about. Nowhere did he suggest that the comments themselves were tantamount to disrespecting the dead just because the comments were about staff.

You did not, which isn't surprising. I will say this: I find it remarkably funny, sad, cowardly, and dishonest that you have implied that you hate the new site, hate the new owners, hate the way things are done, hate everything about this place and the people here, and yet you STILL log in several times a day. Have the balls to back up your words with action. That's what men do, in case you didn't know.

well look. More bluster from reno. Big surprise. you're not intelligent. you're not a man. you have no balls. yawn. oh reno. You're doing such a wonderful job trying to tell people what to think, and how they should love the new site. Can you imagine? An internet discussion runs off topic? Oh my! That NEVER happens. Who are these sick individuals who would dare let their conversation stray from the prescribed topic? They are clearly bad people. And yeah. I think the new site is a huge disappointment. After a year or more of building it up, telling everyone it was going to be great, etc, etc, and to deliver this, well, let me just say I'm a bit underwhelmed. I could go on for a while about why, the no images in threads, the liquidation of my friends list, etc. but that's all been gone over several times. I'd say, 'you get the idea' here, but it is obvious that you do not. Any thread remotely critical of the new site you show up, bluster about, insult people, etc. Well guess what. I don't really think yer tu smert. Actually, I think you're a colossal jackass. a fucking moron, if you will. It's so simple for you. I don't like the site, I can leave. Yeah, that is an option. But, I still have friends on this site. People I like to chat and climb with. But I do post less. so you're wrong about a few things. I don't hate the people here. I don't even hate you. I think you're a fucking idiot, which is a bit different. but i did snicker at your trite little insults, so thanks for the laughs. keep sniping, peabrain.

Caughtinside, you've made more factual errors in one post than I thought possible. But let me make sure I got this right: You think the site sucks, but you're going to stick around anyway. You think I'm an idiot, but base that singly on my position that people should simply be civil and respectful when voicing dissent (apparently because you think it's ok to call someone a fucking idiot.) You're not strong enough in your convictions to put your name on your profile and thus you hide behind the curtain of anonymity, yet you think people should respect you and take you seriously. But the bottom line is this: You'd rather be negative and bitch and moan and cry like a 7 year old girl that didn't get the new Underwater Mermaid Barbie for Christmas than offer any worthwhile suggestions or advice: "Nope, that's not how I'd do it.... dickheads." Damn... talk about dichotomy. (That means two-faced, in case you didn't know.) Whatever, guy.... I promise I'm not losing sleep over the fact that you don't like me. I mean, I was damn near inconsolable for a minute or two, but I'm better now. My therapist (and my imaginary friend George) says I'm an OK person, and that's all that counts.

well, that's cute reno. Actually, I've thought you a moron for some time, mostly based on your body of work in arguing with bobd, among other things. oh look. you've dredged up the anonymity argument. this is the internet, bitch. get used to it. people are free to take my words seriously or dismiss them if they like. I know where the skydivers stand on this issue! and look at that... I'm not the only person who thinks that the new site is VASTLY inferior to the old one. Kind of like if I took your favorite restaurant, some cool place with fun people, promised to reopen with better service, and gave you a KFC. run by a vegetarian, or something. although I am rather confused on where I made facutal errors. Unless you're counting my opinion, that you're an idiot, is a factual error.

This thread is not a suggestion and its not a legitimate question. It's an attack. No one needs this stuff around here. If you can't disagree about the policies of the website without the personal attacks then that's just pitiful. Some of you guys used to be friends -- remember? Sweet freakin mercy. All this animosity about some changes on a website. Stop taking this shit so seriously and so damn personally. IT'S JUST A FREAKING WEBSITE! Lets get back to disagreeing with some civility. You know damn well that if we were hanging out at the crag NONE of this crap would matter and we'd all be having fun, and mostly getting along just fine. Take a step back, a deep breath, and try to be a little more kind and more constructive with your feedback and criticism. Ed
