In reply to: Dingus, I had left the original post, and even checked it after I split the thread. If, however, the original poster elects to come back and remove it, or there was some other bug in the system, then I have nothing to do with that. It was there after the split.
Cool. Got it. It was not there when I viewed page one prior to my post. It's there now however, in all its troll glory.
Seems like a lot of work for nothing, pruning a troll thread, but I appreciate your getting back to me.
Cheers
DMT

If I was 100% sure it was a troll, then the whole thing would have been off to Community without me doing all of the unneccesary work of splitting it. However, since some people took the time to give honest answers, I did not want to slight their efforts, hence the split. Plus, I had never used the split tool before, and it was like that # 5 camalot that you carry on your rack and need to place once in a while to justify carrying it.
In reply to: "cheers"? -----that somehow makes your (not so veiled) threat all better?
I think you will find that I use that all all of my correspondence and many posts, as does Dingus and others. Don't you have a grassy knoll to check for shell casings?

In reply to: In reply to: no more topic drift or even slightly off topic discussions allowed. and we will decide what is on or off topic. Topic drift is fine, but I split off two pages of BS that had nothing to do with the original question..............
looks like you used a machette instead of a scapel. here is my original post [with] which i am adding back over here because it belongs here:
In reply to: In reply to: 2 start off i'de say indoor than when u can climb a 5.11 @ least than u should start outdoor climbing! does anyone agree?? I might..... [attempt at humor deleted to prevent more ranting by all the jt5.2 haters] -Jay
is pulling on plastic really even climbing? "
[seems like an on topic comment to me]
In reply to: you cold almost compare it with sex with and without a condom.
more like masterbation vs. sex with a partner.
[the prosecution rests.]

Perhaps you might consider removing the comma after the word "obviously" and placing it after the word, "others".

ur crazy indoors = puss outdoors = real man
exept when bad weather. climbing is not safe besides what ppl tell you
indoors is not climbing its recreation. outdoors is a adrenaline rush from hell especially when soloing which i recomend to everyone. but im an adrenaline junky thats out of his gord so maybee im not the sainest person to listen too.

In reply to: I am just waiting to be dinged for my stream of conscience writing
Nice.
I talk stream of conscience with my therapist all the time.
Quiz: Would the above phrase "all the time" be best replaced by "continually" or "continuously," and why?

In reply to: Even so, here are some reasons the gym is good (IIRC): 1. You don't have to worry about a headlamp after the sun goes down. 2. You're not subject to the elements. 3. For me, the drive is 10 - 15 minutes (opposed to an hour to decent rock). 4. If toproping, there is no set-up and break-down time. You can accomplish quite a bit of climbing in a couple hours at the gym. 5. Ever-changing routes. Local crags can get old after a few seasons. 6. For beginners, less equipment is required. 7. If you're training, it may be easier to find particular sequences in a higher concentration indoors. 8. They have harnesses for younger kids, which is nice when I take my nephews.
Missed one:
9. You're closer to the pub for an after climb pint (or two).
Otherwise, I'd rather climb outside.

Hmm... indoor or outdoor(ie. Real climbing!)
I think the point here is that there is NO glory in plastic, or concrete for that matter.
Stepping out from the beley into serious exposure, or being runout on a series of bat hook move, or swinging your tools into some sick ice... There is glory to be found in these!

In reply to: Jay - I'll humor you after reading several or your posts... But, this particular response: In reply to: In reply to: 2 start off i'de say indoor than when u can climb a 5.11 @ least than u should start outdoor climbing! does anyone agree?? I might. Try posting your question in English. Then I'll let you know. -Jay What the F.U.C.K?! Who are you - the freakn' Post-gestapo?! Perhaps, you should stop answering in sentence fragments: Fragments are incomplete sentences. Usually, fragments are pieces of sentences that have become disconnected from the main clause. One of the easiest ways to correct them is to remove the period between the fragment and the main clause. Other kinds of punctuation may be needed for the newly combined sentence. You're being a dick! Obviously, you seem to like to point out the errs in others you tool - that is slang for s---...as in, take a dip in your s---.
First of all, I wasn't pointing out the errs [sic] in his post; I was trying to suggest to him that, since this is not a chat room, he should try to post using something approximating standard written English.
Secondly, I was trying to interject a little humor into it, as everybody but you seemed to notice.
Third, you're even wrong about my grammar. All three sentences in my first post are complete sentences. Perhaps you misinterpreted the word "then."
There are some congratulations in order here. It is rare that we get a post in which everything is wrong. Do you know Beetsy511, by any chance?

In reply to: From Eats Shoots & Leaves
OK, I can overlook the failure to italicize the title of the book, but for God's sake, if you're going to quote from that book, at least put the comma in after "Eats."
And, I posted that panda joke months ago.
And that's not a sentence fragment, either.

The panda joke is all wrong. In Oz we have a joke pretty much the same and it is about a wombat.
The puncline is that a Wombat eats, roots, shoots and leaves. Note to all who may be unfamiliar with Australian slang, roots = fornication. So if you come across an Aussie (the two ss`s promnounced as z`s (did I get the apostrophes correct)) who describes himself as a wombat you`ll know what he is talking about. Of course just to confuse matters it has been known that if you wish to slag off at some one in a derogatory manner then just call em a silly wombat or just say, ahhh ya wombat. The latter has no bearing on the former mentioned wombat.
