Bring out your dabs

I just like to dip my toes in once in a while to call will out for ruining our rivers🫡

As I've said ad nauseum, the dabs shaming stuff also isn't my bag.

I also agree that the water companies are ripping us off and failing in their duty to avoid pollution.

But we need people to work for water companies, especially doing the engineering work, without which the situation would be much worse. It's only the small number of water company staff who set up extractive debt structures or decide on budgets etc who need to question what they are up to IMO.
 
This seems to me to exemplify all that is wrong about this thread.

If the motivation was to avoid confusion from videos showing incorrect starting positions, then a personal message would have been the way to do that (especially since the video is from someone on this forum).

If the motivation was to be a sword of righteousness, puncturing the egos of those wishing to bring a climb down to their level, then that (dubious motivation) obviously is bollox in this case since the climb was extremely easy for the person in the video.

If the motivation was convivial bants and japery -was that what was going on here? really? It reminded me more of a how battery chickens peck each others wounds when stressed by overcrowding. Just grim. Sorry but that was my perception.

Like I said before, I especially care about this because I've heard first hand that this causes people not to publicly share videos. I greatly appreciate publicly shared videos. It also skews video posters towards mostly just being people who climb nothing like me (eg the tall and strong).
 
good effort on Superman CP, I know how it feels to have a hard tick undermined by some failure on an easier problem :)

Jesus christ Stone, if you don't like the thread stop reading it. As you acknowledge, you've made your opinions on it clear several tens of times. Shockingly, others have a different view to you.

I don't know CP outside the forum but I think its fair to say he's not averse to a bit of online pisstaking (I'm sure he would acknowledge this). I've been on the end of it and have worn it. I'm aware hes very strong but that to me made it funnier that hes started a problem he could probably campus a couple of moves in.

The only one attempting to wield the sword of righteousness is you, repeatedly, until we all die of boredom.

I'm confused to be honest.

I presume the Shit video is starting 1 move in? Because it looks pretty obvious to start matched on the back? Although I don't know much about the rules of such things... And "The Wheel Dab" is actually Capitalist Punter? Does that make it Dabitalist Punter? Not sure what the Crag X video has to do with anything as that doesn't seem to start 1 move in? 🤔

Also stone surely the logical effect of the the thread is "not publicly share dabbing videos" rather than "not publicly share videos"??
 
I actually agree with Stone I think a lot of this was quite mean-spirited and to be honest taking the piss out of ordinary people you don't know just having a nice time is pretty cringe

If I remember correctly, I saw that it started there from an Ash video, although that was from sitting.

Take the piss all you like I find it quite funny, just be aware I'm not Apefoo'ing my way up the boulder and its a number grade below my limit.
