I also think it is great that the chocky community has voiced it's disapproval and disagreement with Phil's views so strongly.

I've always liked the quote (is it in a guide book somewhere??) that goes something like "climbing is always a big laugh until I think I'm about to fall off"

I think chocky is like that as well, a big laugh until someone says something totally inappropriate and offensive.
