WTF are you going on about??
You make a lot of assumptions about a person based on what? A one line comment about fixed chains.
ODH you can be very insightful and your posts often articulate what i am thinking. However in this case you are just ranting without knowing my position on this topic.
Bushwalkers can be hypocritical !! Pulling ropes at one place and using chains at another is an example of this. Your rant had some good points but likening it to terra nullis was a long stretch.
