Why would you think a post about despicable vandalism has a hidden agenda 

Yes did post on UKC too i thought it deserved a wider audience so other climbers can keep a look out

[webbo]

With a title” Why we should be climbing”  Not “why we need to educate people that graffiti is wrong”
This was happening even when we could go climbing.

...if the crags were busy with walkers and climbers this would be a lot less likely.

No need to be hostile to new ukb users. His agenda is clear and he is clearly just upset about some very very disappointing graffiti.

[webbo]

To title a post why we should be climbing seems to me that they are using the threat of damage to the rocks to justify going out climbing.

[ashtond6]

He may well have phrased it badly but no excuse for being an arse to him for no reason
Then ukbers wonder why ukb has the unwelcoming reputation

[webbo]

Anyone who has climber in their user name brings out the Psychopath in me.

I'm still here, I have read UKB & (UKB) on and off over the years, there is some really useful information on here (Not always easy to find, I have just never posted). But just like everyone else I'm bored during lockdown the finger board isn't the same as going down the Tor.

I do think the forum comes across as very cliquey with quite a many people have nickname/pseudonym. Whilst this is common place on forums, on UKB it is more obvious that lots of people know each other personally centered around mainly the Peak area. Real names pop up now and again and so have worked out who some people are. The irony of having a shit pseudonym myself, is not lost. However I mainly just do stuff on my own so I don't think I know anyone on here personally, but thought perhaps it was time I contributed a bit more to the forums both here and UKC.

Back on topic, ok the title was click bait but the intention was not. I'm sure as you clearly also read UKC that you can see from the sentiment of my replies.

Welcome, onlineclimber.

I think most of us "know" each other from talking shit in here. I think I've met less than half a dozen in the past, but admit I'm an outlier.

[Oldmanmatt]

Welcome, onlineclimber.

Don’t trust him, Online, he’s just luring you in for the full Will critique...

And a downgrade.

I don't know the stats, but I'd hazard a guess that this is not correct. Or at least if there are more peak based people the margin is small. I'd also guess that more people know each other through the forum than from outside.

I think the elephant bit is quite good

I havent looked at all 52 pages of this thread but has this been mentioned???

- That when we are allowed out, within 10 minutes the end of the rope will have been put into your mouth about 12x.

- And a couple mins later, that very same bit of rope will be put into whoever you are climbing with's mouth another 12x...

Not wanting to gross everybody out but is worthy of working out what should be best practice for this situation.
