Mate, there are two things that you frequently do on CS:
1) rant on about the 'pussification' (you even coined the phrase) of climbing; and
2) give some innocent newby/bumbly a flaming for asking something mildly silly.

For the most part, I generally find myself in agreement with your sentiments under 1 and confess to guilty amusement under 2.

You must be able to see the contradiction, given 1) above, that you rapped down Hungry Eyes without even trying to onsight it. Did you have to really get stuck into that small cobweb to clean the route? This is not a marginally-protected 27, it's a 23. And there are harder things at the grade (as you would find out if you fulfilled your pledge and got on The Rage This Season : )

In short: you are a pussy, you drive a pussy car, you live at No 1 Pussy Street - just admit it - you are the mayor of Pussy Town.
