Ethics, Spray, and Slander

by cp0915 » Wed Aug 19, 2009 2:51 pm

I know the new forum's in its infancy, but I've yet to hear any slander. There's only been the usual amount of spray from the usual suspects. And if this was a canyoneering forum, there'd already be 10 pages on bolting ethics. What the hell? Do we have nothing to gripe, piss, moan or brag about?

Any of your climbing clothes have hemp in them. You can do a one arm pull-up but think a 1/2 mile hill makes the approach too long. You can sneer and drink coffee at the same time. You have retired a rope 'cause it reached its max. # of falls. You can tell the difference between 12.b and 12.c. You can bitch about the difference between 12.b and 12.c. Two beers get you wasted. Your diet consists of herbal supplements. You don't take a shit. You can say, "I pink-pointed it." with a straight face. Can we talk about Highpointers next? This is fun!

I just read that Norman Clyde was once in a domestic partnership with David Brower.

Hey shouldn't this be libel, not slander? Can some lawyers clarify?

Libel pertains to the written word, slander the spoken.

Maybe Clyde shouldn't have abandoned that guy.


He did!

He basically told him to fk off when Brower was in the process of firing him as the lead guide for SCOC!

I think Gary was referring to the guy Clyde wanted to abandon on the Matterhorn Glacier. Clyde got the SC boot right after that.

Yup....

Sometimes we make mistakes even when the folks we are hired to lead, may just deserve the boot. From many of the accounts, the gent that Norm ditched pretty much did it on his own and deserved it.

Right or wrong, it is what it was.

Ironically, two weeks later after this incident, Clyde's incredible experience was requested to search for a lost camper in the Ritter/Banner area.
