When I said that, I was told I just didn't "get" him and was puntered.


Oh yeah.

I think this is what Sheavills is referring to. Everyone's favorite guidebook author getting his just desserts:



that's disappointing

I was expecting a photo of Dennis Gray making sweet, consensual man love to Johnny Dawes

oh well

It's just south of Tafroute in Morocco. Took a day trip down there when staying at the Kasbah Tizourgane and climbing in the Jebel El Kest. If you get the chance, go it's total waddage.

John's still spitting:
http://footlesscrow.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/terra-pericilosa-speak-why-you-are-here.html

The first half ties in with this topic, with the usual sexism and meandering narrative.

I couldn't finish that garbage. It's a pity JR isn't a more talented writer. He can't seem to say anything interesting without losing the thread and descending into jibberish dressed up in flowers.

I've tried using the auto belay next to it but the holds are brand new and feel like broken glass after a few laps.

Sorry but I got as far as the photo of the guy in the yellow T-shirt and stopped reading. Didn't want to know anything about the people concerned after that.

tl;dr (unreadable waffle, anyone who includes a dictionary definition of a common word in a non-ironic manner should take remedial classes.)

I don't mind the opinion piece, and I have no opinion on the content (I didn't get far enough to find out what was proposed, and I feel that it is a subject where my opinions and experiences have no value). I just found the writing very far from quality; this—at least—I'm allowed to judge on a thread under the “quality writing” heading.

I thought there were a few good points in there. We've all read much, much worse I'm sure.

Perhaps we need a "not great but not shit climbing articles" thread.

Non-quality chuffing articles?

Current protocol suggests that thread would be reserved for A: articles forum members had written, regardless of quality, and B: genuinely shit articles by anyone.

That article on 'complaint feminism' is timely what with comments made on here about Andy Kirkpatrick's twitter feed and him linking to articles/talks about 'grievance feminism'.

Would it be bad taste to suggest it goes in a DeadFeministBirdsWithGrievanceswhoClimb thread?

If so I won't.

'Regular bird' - to damn with faint praise!

It's almost if you're suggesting it's somehow 'bad' to take more interest, initially, in whether a member of the opposite sex is sexually attractive than whether or not what they're arguing for is compelling, interesting, informed or relevant etc.  :unsure:
(I clicked on her profile pic halfway through reading. I only checked instagram after you mentioned it. Just to make sure)
