most of our comments have been blown totally out of proportion. we are not hardliners who want the
place to ourselves. we enjoy climbing with others. this comment came from a discussion amoungst a
group of friends a week ago. the post about sponsors was a catalyst for our reply. we actually
questioned the marketing of the wall in a previous post in the burnly topic:

and we replied

what we said isn't new and it appears several other people feel the same way. we don't expect radical
change we just ask that our opinion is considered. deleting our comment shows our opinion was not
considered. we have never "thrown a tantrum" or posted nonsense on the burnly thread. we just
expressed an alternative viewpoint which has incited vigorous debate. the fact that the debate appears
to have turned personal is regrettable.
