LOL! If anyone left because of your pics they are an even bigger tool than this poor excuse for a contributor. Weak submissions... every one of them.

That joke never gets old! +1

I was thinking the same thing. Plus, that person couldn't climb a ladder...

Ha ha. Good thing I actually have thick skin. Carry on.

I guess my skin isn't as thick as needed, I'm here to help the climbing community and when I read and see some of the crap that happens, I'm discouraged.

Members, especially those that have been here for a long time need to encourage participation, post positive criticism and not post trash about other members.
There needs to be an example to follow, I won't take stuff from Off-Route personally, but in the rest of the forums, those kinds of posts are counter productive to the community.

This thread is a very good example of why people leave. Why not find ways to get more contributing members from the rest of the world instead making sure they leave and don't come back?

And no, I didn't mind most of lcarreau's crazy pics, and I'd enjoy seeing him released from his padded hospital room one day! </joke>

We are actually trying, see the sometimes discouraging but ultimately productive "Wheat vs. Chaff" thread.

Me neither, how does he find all those pictures and videos though?

Oh boy. PM sent...

I feel like an idiot now, even though most of what I wrote still stands.
Lets keep it on the positive side.

HaHa! Welcome to the club. Next time you'll know better...

hahaha, it took me a second to figure this out, then another second to realise it is true anyway .

Maybe because English is not my native language, but I really don't understand the point!

LOL!

Luc took the bait?

OK so that is at least three so far... Luc, RyderS (I sent him a PM last night), and mcorbs28 came clean. Good times!
