as cheesy as it sounds; I just go climbing for the fun of it.

I think most of us on here do really. A few people get a bit too caught up in the whole thing and feel superior but they're not really worth worrying about imho.

[Adam Lincoln]

you will have to forgive me for not replying earlier i have been away. gruff you seem to have a bee in your bonnet about me for some reason, i realise i probably come across as a tosser on the web but in real life i'm sure you'll find me much worse. i don't think anybody should be banned from this forum at all. i do think some people should be banned from crags and computers tho, not you btw gruff.
it seems a lot of furore has been caused by me giving adam lincoln -ve karma for saying "because he thinks he knows people". can i not give out bad karma? this had nothing to do with him calling ben "the bransby" in any way.
i gave it him for a variety of reasons
1)going on about him sitting next to sharma and saying chris says hi
This is a private joke i have with Chris (Doyle) and perhaps it came across as how you interpreted it... Fair enough.....
2)his fantasy winter ticklist
Whats wrong with my fantasy winter tick list?

I think there's too much + karma about at the moment, a lot coming from me, I'll admit. Time for more smitement people. Sod this Xmas pish.

[SA Chris]

So predictable jfw, though hardly a valid reason 

[Adam Lincoln]

Bubba, i totally object to Moo's twat karma comment about me. This keeps going on. I didnt have to post link to pics. In future, i wont bother.

[Adam Lincoln]

Also, there must be a proper reason given for dishing out karma.

So why does "twat" warrant proper reason for dishing out Karma?

[squeek]

No, do bother.  It was a good picture of Tyler's actual ascent of Dreamtime sit down, which is really good to see.  Noticed it last night and find it hard to see how you can give negative karma for it.  If Bonjoy or Johnny Brown had posted the same thing I don't think they would have been getting -ve for it.

[Adam Lincoln]

No, do bother.

What, and get abuse for it....!

[BenF]

F*ck it.  The karma thing ain't the end of the world.  Okay it's nice to get positive karma, but just because some people who you don't get on with you (I am making a presumtion there since I know neither of you) transfer their dislike or disagreement on-line, just let it wash over you.  Admittedly I think the tw*t comment is a bit harsh, but it's only a internet forum at the end of the day.  Fiend gave me negative for being tangental in one of his threads and before the karma was reset I got a bit of negative karma for slagging off gorilla warfare.  Who cares really?  It should be treated fairly tongue in cheek right?

Feel free to disagree, obviously. 

[Adam Lincoln]

F*ck it.  The karma thing ain't the end of the world. 

I dont care, but i do care for equal rule following.

Rules state no tit for tat voting - Fair enough. But rules also state that it should be a valid reason.....

[SA Chris]

True words. I wad thee thus.

[BenF]

Rules state no tit for tat voting - Fair enough. But rules also state that it should be a valid reason.....

Agreed, no-one likes unfairness.  But again, it's just a forum and maybe someone has been unfair to you, but you just need to ignore it.  I'd guess that the more fuss you kick up, the more likely someone is to go and "punter" you a bit more just to get a reaction.

Get over it.  Life is Pain.  (Eh, Stubbs?)



Mr. Lincoln.  Have you ever smoked marijuana? 

[Stubbs]

Get over it.  Life is Pain.  (Eh, Stubbs?)

Ah I was wondering if you had missed that one, I was sure you'd know about the four noble truths....

[Houdini]

1:  Life means suffering.

2:  The origin of suffering is attachment.

3:  The cessation of suffering is attainable.

4:  The path to the cessation of suffering.*


Mildly interesting, as hogwash goes, grasshopper. 

(*Though I have enjoyed a particularly good problem on Koh Tao called "The Middle Way".)



Everything's connected, some say.

[Stubbs]

Hey man, if it works for Sharma....

I think the Noble eightfold path is more interesting hogwash too

    1. Right understanding
    2. Right intention
    3. Right speech
    4. Right action
    5. Right livelihood
    6. Right effort
    7. Right mindfulness
    8. Right concentration

Easy to write, harder to do....

[Houdini]

Met the guy (Shamra) but once.  He noticed I run around like the proverbial blue-arsed fly climbing everything I could see.

To which he said:  Y'know man, have you like, ever considered climbing just a little bit, y'know like, just a little bit every day?

Which for a full-time fully-wedged climber (whose probably never even heard of a mastic gun or a Tirfor) I thought pretty rich.

I'd say he failed at step one.

I hope he's improved by now.

Hands up who hasn't yet heard the story of Buoux being ordered to stop 'starting' on Dense by Moon?

i've read the whole thread hoping to find the story so can somebody please tell it? (another 15' of my life wasted)

btw: i hate it when i can't figure out how something works so here we go: how can you give karma?

[Bonjoy]

You have to have posted 50 times before you can give karma.
