I think people should stand behind what they write and use their real names, but I don't think it should be mandatory.

My profile is well populated. Pretty much tells you all you need to know about ole Dingus. I do get a lot of unsolicited offers to climb from the sheilas here, but its an rc.com phenom I'm resigned to enjoy.

totally up for trad so long as it's fairly easy. I haven't climbed since the New River Rendezvous of 2005 (waves at J_ung - met you and your woman, there!) because I moved to canada to marry the guy I met online eight years ago.
SO. now, I need to get back into it. but, I didn't mean to derail the thread into climbing partners.
on-topic: I've always gone by tokitikki, and if you've ever messaged me, I always use my real name. I tend to not aggressively disagree with people unless I know EXACTLY what the heck I'm talking about and can stand by it without putting down other people.
But that's just me, and I'm from the south. I try not to be a moron, but I'm also extremely polite. Unlike most people that get online, especially anonymously.

I've been having a hard time telling if it's dead, or just being a little weird while trying to lick at the contents of a bottle it found. Maybe the latter sounds less likely, but I've seen enough odd animal poses before, and I don't see any visible damage on the armadillo.
Honestly, you really seem like some sort of prejudiced asshole to be assuming the worst and least of people like that.

I seen a few dead rock climbers face to face, how would like to see their photos holding a Budweiser in their hand on-line with blood all over it ? Should be funny right?
Life is a life, you run over it with a car; you are still taking a life out of the equation.
You still must treat any dead species with respect no matter what.

You don't read so well, do you? You're getting all high and mighty over a dead armadillo, and you don't even know if the armadillo is dead.
All your respect for the dead is great, but I'm having a hard time seeing the respect for life and the living you claim to have.

Can't say it'd mean much to me. Any reverence i have for the dead is only out of respect for the feelings of the living; that is to say, I have no true feelings towards corpses themselves.
In reply to: Life is a life, you run over it with a car; you are still taking a life out of the equation. You still must treat any dead species with respect no matter what.
No, we trivialize life on a daily basis, and all the pretty, over-simplified sentiments in the world don't change that. Welcome to humanity.

angry wrote: Well, the reason for my empty profile name is that middle school students that I teach googled me and I came up. So I took out the identifying aspects and actually paid the site to change my user name too. Angry is actually more historical than fshizzle with my history in the triathlon forums. fshizzle wrote: Chapter 1 1Lo, in the days of Y2K, there was one who was known as angrywetsuit. Thine wetsuit wasn't angry, but anger toward such things as neoprene and zippers filled the man who bore this garment.2 In the days of ironman the cold water affected this man greatly, he was stricken with hypothermia, despite the wetsuit. 3He who bore anger toward the wetsuit adopted the name angrywetsuit and took residence in the ironman forum 4Angrywetsuit was a fierce forumite, calling the shit of bull and speaking in the tongue of trad climber. Surely such a thing was unheard of among the doctors and brokers who inhabit the land of ironman 5In time, the doctors and brokers had fallen prey to angrywetsuit, the outsider was banished. His true belief that training and persistence would suffer a man to step into the kingdom of the podium was not appreciated. Chapter 2 1 Angrywetsuit wandered the land, eager to race. What wasn't known about him though was he was a descendant of the land of Vedauwoo. 2In the days of the rock, Vedauwoo stands ever present. 3The earth begat rock4the rock begat sharpness 5sharpness begat wideness6wideness begat Vedauwoo. Chapter 3 1By and by, angrywetsuit found refuge with the forumites of RC. They knew him as Fshizzle.2Fshizzle was part of the tradition. This angered some and endeared him to others.3In this manner Fshizzle lived a happy life until a young sapling said "hi Mr. Fshizzle"4Fshizzle died that day and angrywetsuit was resurrected. The wetsuit has been left off because angry has departed from the land of ironman for many years now. 5These things I tell you are true, as they have been related to me, and they were related for my forefathers. 6Blessed be those who reads these words Amen
Wait. Where is the part about your sister? I only skimmed it, but i am a pretty quick reader.

Short drunk in a helmit? Wow aren't you clever! I'm sure if I look up clueless in the dictionary, I'll find your pics. Now let's talk about rocket science....Something else you know nothing about. Try to focus on the question at hand. Oh yes the original question did contain something about idiots saying stupid things, Right?

summitseeker wrote: Don't you think everyone should have to fill out a COMPLETE profile including pics and logs in order to post here? That way you can put a face and a location to some of the dumb ass statements people say!!
See, your face doesn't really show up clearly anywhere in your profile, which is kind of funny. Even in the pic of the armadillo you still can't make out a clear (armadillo) face. I was making the obviously absurd connection that from the lack of a clear photo, for all we know that picture of the armadillo might as well be your picture (as in a picture of you). The key word here is 'absurd' so that one could tell I clearly wasn't being serious or trying to insult you.
Armadillos = short, armored (helmet-like armor), and in this picture it looks like it's passed out drunk, thus short drunk in a helmet (which, as I've pointed out, also describes many climbers... this is a web site for climbers).
Why am I explaining this? I'm not really sure. There was nothing malicious in my post. Sorry you just naturally assumed such and came at me with a couple of the worst lines I have ever heard in my life.
In reply to: I'm sure if I look up clueless in the dictionary, I'll find your pics.
Are you kidding me? You replied to me directly right after I posted that comment and picture, and then some twenty posts later reacted to a non-existent insult (there really was no insult intended). Yes, I'm the clueless one here. To top it off, you rip off a horribly lame and unoriginal line that a third-grader would be embarrassed to use.
In reply to: Now let's talk about rocket science....Something else you know nothing about. Try to focus on the question at hand.
Are you saying I was off topic? You complain we can't put faces to names: there isn't a photo I could recognize you by in your profile. I jokingly pointed this out. Seems on topic to me. I don't really think there's anything wrong with it and you do have photos even if your face doesn't show clearly in any of them, but I did think it was a little funny.
The rocket science bit also doesn't really work for me. Is that an attempt to call me stupid? It doesn't really add up though. Saying someone 'isn't exactly a rocket scientist.' is intended to be litotic, but I think you really lost the sense of that in your delivery. Some of the most intelligent people in the world probably know little or nothing about rocket science as it falls into neither their field of study nor interest.
Well, whatever. Do what you want; think what you want. I don't know your name and only have a vague sense of what you look like, but if you're ever looking to identify me just check my profile. (See, that was a joke... maybe not all that funny, but better than a lame cliché).
So, back to rocket science...
<edit>... and to answer the original question, "Don't you think?":
No, I don't, not hardly never.</edit>
