Ditto. Anyone with a wry sense of humour, capable of gently making fun of himself and others in the same breath - well n00b or not, it sounds like the makings of a fine day at the crag to me.

GO

Blah blah blah, bitch, moan, blah, blah, blah-blah, whine, blah-blah, I think I'm special, blah, blah, girls dont like me, blah-blah, blah, I never got laid in high school, blah, blah, bitch and moan some more...

There’s a solution, people. Listen up.

1. Stop taking new people climbing. Maybe you do it to be nice, find new partners, or perhaps you just feel better about yourself if you climb with less-experienced people. I don’t care what the reason is. Knock it off! There are enough climbers here now, and plenty of partners to go around. Pull from the existing pool.

2. Ask rc.com to ban the Beginner’s Forum altogether. If that is not acceptable, the administrators should at least establish an auto-delete function for all thread titles that start with “How do I…” and “What shoes…” and other frequently used n00b titles.

3. Stop encouraging n00bs online. These online forums seem to be the primary way that gym n00bs develop the “experience” to venture outdoors. I know it’s our nature to be helpful, but this has to stop. Respond to all n00b questions with “STFU n00b!” That’s it. Say no more.

4. Carry the attitude of discouragement wherever you go. If you see some n00b giving a bad belay or struggling up a route with poor technique, refrain from giving helpful advice. Let them struggle or drop their n00b partner. Cull the n00bs. That’s what this is all about. Just be sure to move away from them so you don’t have to waste your day involved in a n00b rescue or recovery.

5. Boycott climbing gyms. This is a big sacrifice, I know. Especially if you live in an area without year-round outdoor climbing. But you know as well as I do that climbing gyms are the biggest producers of n00bs nowadays.

6. If you must use a climbing gym, refer to #4. In fact, feel free to be a dick to the n00bs you meet there. Make them feel unwelcome, perhaps even threatened. This attitude (called “localism” among surfers) is effective at keeping gumbies off the good surf breaks. We need to carry this attitude into climbing as well.

And remember kids, I cry myself to sleep every night!

Hehe, I'm new to this board. New to climbing. Hell, I'm even new to the internet. And despite my lack of experience with the afore mentioned, I still think the loudspoken little girl that started this thread is a bitch.

Go on home to mommy and daddy, and cry to someone who cares. We climb for the thrill, the challenge, and the journey up with freinds- not to impress arrogant pricks like "the_leech". E-thugs like that little girl only whine online because they won't get slapped in the face like they would if they said that shit to a "noob" like myself in person.

I wonder what kind of credit he's got to his name anyway? 38 posts is considered a "noob" on every other forum in the world. And no matter how much climbing experience you've got, there's always someone better. Of course, he is the one exception, because his "e-thuggin' 4 life" ego is so big that nobody else can fit on the wall.

Here's my interpretation of his "solutions"

This little asshat climbs alone, hence soluting #1, because it reminds him of how lonely he is.

This maggot is so afraid that someone might ask him a question which he can't answer that he dedicated an entire number to the idea of removing intelligent questions from the forums, and that would be solution #2.

The little bitch that started this thread is doing his best to sound cool by trying to talk down to people better than himself (not to mention encouraging other members to be similarly e-thuggin') - Thats #3.

This smartass asks you to be a little whiny girl like himself, and bitch and moan to everyone you meet (I'll give you a hint- #4). Anyone wonder at this point if this guy has ever had any freinds to go climbing with?

The thread starter can't tie his shoes in public, much less climb within view of prying eyes (where people might see how bad he really is). Hell, that's if he's even set foot on a wall to begin with. So obviously, this would be why he wants experienced climbers to boycott gyms - then he can be all alone on the safe plastic wall with the mats on the ground! This one's #5, for those that haven't caught on.

And my favorite, #6. Be an ass to anyone who shares the same interests as you - maybe it will help you justify why you just got your ass beaten by a thirteen year old in climbing shoes.

This guy's logic is about as dull, bleak, and retarded as his life is. Feel free to e-thug me too buddy, but beware... I might eat your kids...

And before anyone accuses me, I'm not a troll, my buddies posted some pictures on here that I came to check out. When I got a link to this thread, I couldn't help but throw my slaps in on this cat fight.

Now that I'm done typing this, I kind of wish I could get my five minutes back... I do feel a bit better knowing that when "the_leech" (dun dun dunnn!) gets to the end of this he'll ask to be reimbursed for the half hour it took for him to read it. My advice at this point is to save yourself the time of writing another post, Mr "leech", and instead use the time to go climb the hardest "route" you can (the ladder in your garage is probably a good bet), then jump off head first.

I am oversensitive, like a delicate little flower.

wow.

hmmm...I would probably come pre-salted from sweat so...that just might make me tastier

*sneaks away quietly*

this thread sucks and so does dingus for linking to it.

I'll take my five minutes back in beers, fucker.

That's it? That's all you've got?

Wow, I overestimated your sorry ass. Go back to grade school kiddo, you're not even sharp enough spit out a clever insult.

extra-weak.

obviously you're not sharp enough to realize that the OP was employing SARCASM to elicit humor.

further, by continually referring to the OP as female, as though being female is somehow shameful, you reveal yourself to be mind-numbingly immature, if not soul-crushingly so.

the seriousness with which you replied reveals as well, that, Dude, the OP trolled you, heavy. Pwned.

This site is essentially for "nOObs" or whatever you want to call them.

Hehe, I'm new to this board. New to climbing. Hell, I'm even new to the internet.

Well said, robbovius.

Although I'd guess that StupidKid isn't as clueless and ignorant as he appears to be. He's likely just trolling. How lame is that?

It is for a broader class of climbers than just n00bs. It is also for climbers who have no sense of humor, and aren't intelligent enough to recognize a joke, even after it is repeatedly pointed out to them.

i just looked at your profile pic and i think you're too old to use such profanities here
but your posts on this topic are otherwise generally clever and eloquent

Anybody who wants to even ask about my "peetoon" better buy me dinner first. Or at least a cranberry apple clif bar.
