Hmmm, and I was only trying to be friendly and warn you that people bait big time on chockstone and there are some chocky experts in this (you know who you are) who can make any topic degenerate into a flame war. So you shouldnt take things too personally on this forum. I think you are being defensive if you find that objectionable.

I actually kept skipping over this thread because I presumed it was Macca on his cannabis platform for the NSW election. I havent had the time to read through all the posts.

To put it on record when I said mountainz is touchy feely it wasnt to ridicule or denigrate that website. I have found it useful and the vibe is completely different from chocky, and a pleasant one, with most people knowing each other to some extent from the hills. Thus people tend to show more respect, helped by the moderation, and although the debates can still be robust they dont usually degenerate into bawdy name calling witticisms.

Sorry that help is required to log in initially and that I actually asked questions related to climbing and posted conditions reports on mountainz. I thought that was what climbing forums were for. But I now see that climbing forums are there to vent some spleen, and mount personal attacks often made much worse by the ability to reply immediately and press send.

By the way, WW&S is actually a nice guy and you would probably enjoy climbing with him. However his favourite herbs are hops.
