actually he was down the works just now (but i don't have photos to prove it so you'll have to take my word for it) ;)

Is the future for the poor lad? UKB stalkers until someone sees him do something hard?  ;D

Unfortunately it will be. Scott seems like a really nice lad, I just don't understand why he doesn't blow us all away with some proof. I know i fucking would. I'd be round Dense's armed with a dvd with extra sharp edges and then ram it home.  

Very wise words ferret All this is quite unsavoury and not why we climb. But it is I'm afraid a fact of life and one that will keep coming up. It always has and always will.

Sorry.

To be honest if it was me in Scottys place, I'd be tempted NOT to post any videos or photos of the alleged ascent as a kind of payback to the doubters. Two finger up at the lot of ya  :P

This of course, kind of assumes that there are bugger all skeletons in the closet.

It's a line of thinking though.
Yes it's a line of thinking and it's also a bullshitters sole alibi and as such it serves to convince most people that you are a bullshitter after all. So if you really aren't a bullshitter it's a very high price to pay for a very weak form of payback. Surely proving your doubters wrong in spectacular fashion with an amazing film will give more lasting satisfaction  :shrug:.

Absolutely.

Again, if it was me I'd wait about a bit then turn up to some well populated venue, proceed to destroy some evil problems then stroll off nonchalantly into a deepening sunset.

That would rock  :thumbsup:

eh? what have i got to do with this? i single-handedly converted most people into being non-believers? i've obviously missed my calling.

apart from all this when i told a friend that public enemy number 2 had flashed the joker the day before he laughed at me and said he'd seen him working it for the previous 3 wks. i have photo's of my friend to prove this is true.

as for ramming a dvd with proof of ascents up my arse, if this turns out to be the case i'll bring the lube.

i would also like to know who thinks it wise to just directly go and ask someone in a pub if they really did what they claim?

Well, FFS, don't just talk about, post the photos and clear this mess up.

It works both ways. You lot want proof off Scott to back up his claims, then you should be expected to post proof to back up your accusations.

You and Scouse deserve puntering for being as bad as Scott's gaggle of underage followers - baseless support vs. baseless dismissals.

given that scott is allegedly a 12 year old scrawny youth whilst yourself are  allegedly a fine figure of adult masculinity this shouldn't be too unwise.have a few pints and man up.

I presumed there was a bit of misspelling/mis-grammar and dense was saying his friend had photos to prove Scott had worked the Joker.

Either way it's accusations without proof, without this friend coming forward nor putting his name to it.

Too much fucking nudge nudge wink wink rumours speculation 3rd hand bullshit. In general.

just out of interest, what would constitute "proof" in your eyes? Would dense have to give the name of his mate? would his mate have to post up here to that effect? sign a sworn affidavit? would his mate have to produce photos of scott? would his PC and any PCs he's got access to have to be audited for use of Notepad or any other EXIF editing software? would he have to have shot the photos on transparency film and not own a computer or scanner? would the photos have to be timestamped on a foresically-secure camera designed specially for these purposes?

What i'm trying to say here is theres always a point at which you can pick a hole in "proof". At what point do you conclude that its more likely that scotts been telling porkies than dense's mate? I suppose it depends if you know who the source is and estimate them to be reliable. So we're all in a different place here, some will know the source, some will know of the source, some don't know. hence there will be a difference of opinion.

No idea. You lot at the ones who want proof off Scott, you tell me what proof entails.

Someone comes along and says Scott flashed the Joker, you lot want proof.

Someone comes along and says Scott can't have flashed the Joker as he worked it, you lot should want proof of that too.

It's nothing to do with me, thankfully I don't know any sources involved and have no vested interest in the issue either way. But as an outside observer, it seems obvious you should all play by the same rules. Honesty and clarity from ALL, yes?

It is proof that the claimed flash of the Joker was not a flash because it was practiced.

I.e. where are your mates pictures of Scott practising the Joker prior to his claimed flash.

Thus it is not proof that someone didn't do something, but that they did do something which in turn invalidates their claim to have flashed a problem.

It ain't rocket science  ;)

From now on I'm going to take photos every time I see someone trying something hard. That way once they claim to have flashed the problem in question I'll be able to immediately debunk their bogus lies. Oh no hang on that wont work - see dave's post above. This really is getting silly.
