Common comment analysis

Post by **Huggybone** » Tue Dec 06, 2005 3:23 am

Common comments that bug me:

Whenever people talk about trying to climb hard, inevitably, you get this:
"Just have fun man, just have fun." Or some variant therof.
This bugs me.

Also attached to conversations about climbing hard:
"I'd rather climb 5.7 and be happy than 5.12 and be pissed all the time"
This bugs me.

Also:
"5.easy climbers are better people than 5.hard climbers"

Oh yeah, it aslo really pisses me off when people I like get bashed or harrased, particularly when you can tell that the basher isn't joking in the slightest.

Brings me to the new favorite (usually implied, not spoken)
"anything 512OW says is wrong" Thank you spraq.

Oh and last summer's phil bashing.

And isn't it wonderful to bash First Ascentionists? Its great how you can come in and riddicule their routes and then go further to imply that it says something about them personally.

Out of time, more later.

Dickheads, defend yourselves.

Not that he's looking great in a flaming pink shirt.

I recall an old picture of ray wearing women's clothing...

Okay I'll bite, sounds like something I would say at times. Just depends on the conversation. How does that affect your goals if someone is happy climbing 5.7? So by your coment you would rather have a bunch of want-a-be 5.12 pissed off climbers walking around.............too late, already got that!

does the little winky icon "bug" you also?

pink shirt????

man any photos of this guy??? there is only a 2% chance that i won't hate him but maybe if I see a picture of this guy I will have a better sense of my percieved hatage

i mean 2% is small but much larger than the chance of a fixed draw breaking...
