Sorry, but your post described those who climb the mountain in December as stupid, and you took the opportunity to explain how your experience (which tells you to stay off that mountain in December) would save your ass. All on a thread that had just started about the unfolding story on Hood. The only reasonable conclusion anyone can draw from your remarks is that you considered these climbers to be part of a "stupid" crowd who take risks that you wouldn't because of your "experience." Totally inappropriate given the context and circumstances.
I stand by what I posted, and I'll say it again -- there's no good reason to post this type of garbage, especially before you even knew the facts. It got moved to Prate for exactly that reason. Not out of context -- it's precisely because of the context that you shouldn't have posted it.
