WOW! WINGLADIES books are FREE "Offerings" to all SPers now????













Then I take my post back regarding this SP Rule that is well defined within the Terms of Service:

"Commercial advertisements are not welcome on SummitPost and are usually deleted quickly. This includes guiding services and other climbing-related enterprises.... If you stand to make money from someone acting on your post, it is probably going to be deleted."

Congrats nattfodd. Cool with your book!

That would go down just dandy.






Guide and Climbing Books are a dime a dozen these days.

BTW, WingLady, according to your Profile, you haven't contributed jacksquat to SP the entire seven years you have been here, except constantly advertising your books. WTF is up with that???


I think a little over the top Chief. No way over, Nattfodd really deserves that? Kinda' bullshit if you ask me. I know you didn't but that's my take on your post

Ms. Winger is well known to many in the hiking community; both she and her husband have written a number of books and published photographs; she is hardly an interloper. It is clear to me that her posts are not abuse, nor are those of others in this or similar threads. The "law" is interpretable by the moderators. To paraphrase a well-known quote, "Abuse" is not easy to define, but you know it when you see it.

Which begs the question of why resurrect an old thread that had long since dropped from the list of current threads... just to lob water balloons from the gallery on a slow Sunday?

By the way, here are some of my books:

The first even features a photo by SP member Dean (on page 42).

Got that right; it WAS a very slow Sunday. Makes me want to curl up on the patio chair with a good book.

Does anybody remember the song "The Good Book" by Melanie Safka ???

I didn't think so ...

I guess I'm not supposed to treat women equal after all! A commercial post is a commercial post, regardless of the gender of the poster. If we are going to have rules, we should follow them and the elves should enforce them. If asking for that makes me a villain then so be it. Playing the gender card against me makes you a real asshole though.

Hmmm, this post took a drastic turn to retardation. Way to go guys, let's give you a virtual pat on the back for following them thar rules to a 'T'. Sure glad neither of you are lawyers, but with the way you are running the site maybe you should be.

It's hard for me to believe a couple grown ass men getting their panties in a bind over a book which is relating to the outdoors. Wow! So if I read this correctly, you have to add content to SP before you can promote a book which contains information that could be content on SP? See how retarded this is?

You read wrong.

Regardless how much you contribute, one can not make ANY COMMERICIAL posts, regardless the premise, that will financially benefit them. Regardless of gender, climbing ability, Power Rating etc.

"Commercial advertisements are not welcome on SummitPost and are usually deleted quickly. This includes guiding services and other climbing-related enterprises.... If you stand to make money from someone acting on your post, it is probably going to be deleted."


Rules suck don't they.

Yeah. Especially when nobody wants to follow them.

Think I'll find a quiet body of water to throw a line into.

So by your own admission, the original posting... and ad for a book should be banned since he 'stands to make money from someone acting on the post'.

As I said before... re-tard-ded...
