beta - chuffing / Re: From a Distance - loose hold
« Last post by Tony on Today at 06:21:22 pm »I see some have been upset by my puntering Jon Boy with the comment, “Akin to condoning chipping.”
I’d point out:
1) that “akin” does not mean “the same as”, it means “similar” or (more literally) “related”. I meant this in the sense that chipping (often) removes some of the difficulty for those without the physical ability; the removal of perceived loose holds could be considered the removal of uncertainty for those without the psychological ability. Hence “akin”. Besides chipping and cleaning (aka removal of loose holds) has always been poorly delineated.
2) I don’t take “wadding” or “puntering” very seriously, you may have noticed.
