I can relate to venting frustrations on the web. I've done it my share of times regarding personal relationships and it felt good for a short while too. But it really didn't do any constructive good in the long term for me. in fact instead of being cathartic, it had the reverse effect on me later on and made me feel more isolated and worse about things. eventually the problems worked out one-on-one and i regretted what i had posted - and reformed the relationships on a better level. give it time.

I agree KD.
A guy named Jack Kornfield was told by his teacher to try this experiment: Don't talk about any one who is not present.
It doesn't matter if it is positve or negative talk.
Just don't say anything about them if they aren't there with you.
Apparently his talking dropped off about 85%
I think that would work with typing on this board as well.

I do agree with all your points Wes, I just don't think that any justification out there makes any of our actions right. Whether it's evil or a lesser evil, it is still evil.

Now, before I end up stirring the pot even more, I want to put out a disclaimer that my last posts were not specifically related to the thread (sorry for the derail). And like Sandy said,

Dear Squeeze,
speaking of hijacks, do I talk to you about a pass to haul people and stuff down the new road at MV at the Gathering? 8)

Only if you autograph my new guidebook!

In all seriousness though, anybody interested in volunteering their cars to drive down the valley for the trail day need to pm me. It'll be on an as-needed basis. We appreciate all the help!

so does this mean that the "gathering" is going to turn into the "Muir Valley round-up and wrestlin', invitational"?

No Ultra, we can't pull off such events without you around to facilitate them.

His talking dropped off about 85% because we spend about 80% or so of our time talking about people! It's a fact.
