welcome to chockstone rolsen1.............2 posts and you've managed to well and truly p!ss off a regular contributor. are you a troll????? if so, mission accomplished!

if not, you were offended by WW 'racist' comments. no-one is ever 'right' and tolerance is a two-way street, yeah? if we all jumped down each others throats as soon as we were offended by something that was meant to be humorous then this forum (and the world) would look like Iraq does at the moment. we all have topics that fire us up and that we are passionate about but sometimes seeing the funny side of it and having a laugh takes much less energy and is much more enjoyable than getting worked up.

I had a go at a member of this forum on a particularly bad Friday only to come back to the forum on the Monday and realise what a dick i had been and how pointless my post was - it achieved absolutely nothing. from experience, relax and enjoy the humour, utterly useless facts, great photos and useful climbing tips that this forum has to offer. also, if you find WW and the Captns posts too offensive (or just plain shite) you do have the ability to block them.
