I'm out of here for awhile. Going to take a break and de-"psycho" myself.

Keep having fun and be safe on all your adventures.

Nope, she said on another thread the trip is still on.

Chili, she was whooped; both eyes swollen shut, swinging blindly at everything, even folks in her corner.
I think the last thing she typed was "Adrienne, Adrienne."

Glad to see that, even if you left here, you're still posting on that other Board that you hate so much.

Denizen,

so is there a reason why you are trying to upset twinks?
your being mean for no reason. So let it go or do you get your rocks off by this stuff?

why do people insist on going inbetween both websites and make trouble by posting what people say here on there and there on here?

WHY?

Having sensed that they smacked Twinkle down, they will move in for the kill. It's called pack mentality.

Just as Twinkle Toes hates the political granola-braiding hair-hugging nature of the threads on the other Board, I hate the hypocrisy of the avowed one-Board-or-the-other haters who, despite their loudly professed hatred, insist on continuing to visit and post on whichever Board they find so loathsome.

Twinkle Toes is an especially interesting case. Her (what I'm sure she thought) oh-so-clever characterization of the forums.backpacker.com site led to her, apparently at least, deciding to leave this site (I think). Yet she goes back over to the site she hates. Excellent.

Ya won't see me on the other site. TOO many Dickheads!

FYI Den. it seems that you like to read, copy and paste and add links and stir up trouble.
if your going to do all that, make sure you get your little duckies all in a row.

she said she was sorry, or did you need her to bleed for you?

Denizen,

It is called freedom of speech.

I was irked, TWO DANG DAYS AGO!!, by certain posts on the other site.

I, however, unlike you, did not make crass and insulting remarks directly aimed at anyone in particuliar on that site nor this site. Again, unlike you, I have not been acting like a cyber-stalker by "hunting" individuals down and being point blank nasty to them.

Instead, I came here to voice my frustration and opinion. I did it here because this is my more frequent posting place and many of us have experienced similiar frustrations with that board.

But then, after airing my frustration here, tried to make it a light-hearted situation by posting the goof ball idea of trail olympics over there. It is a well known fact that there is a fun-spirited rivalry between the two boards.

But oh no, ball-less losers like you have to come along and act like the Gestapo. Posting bits and pieces of threads from over here, over there. Intentionally going out of your way to stir sh*t up (a day late and a dollar short) and be disgusting in your behavior. I find it interesting that it is now YOU who are acting closer in behavior to Gore-loser than I, as insinuated on the other site.

So dearest Denizen - go back under the bridge from whence you came - or else the Tree people ;) will open a can of whoop a$$ on your sorry little Ork self.

Now, go backpack, jerk off, knit a doilie or whatever the hell you need to do to get over your serious bout of "a$$hole" disease

I don't care if the "pack" gets you or not. I'm also not going to carry on a mindless argument with you or anyone else.

I just remarked on the hypocrisy, irony, and idiocy of the past couple of days. I made my comments and had planned on shutting up for the time being. Until I start my "I'm Leaving" thread.

Change of tune? How very interesting. Hmmm, the moment I fight back you pull the "I'm not going to stoop to your level" routine.

Go away little Ork and yank your own chain until you're are cured of the above-mentioned ailment.

Can't you all see that you have empowered denzien in this process.

As long as you keep a running battle going, you will never gain the high ground.

Who gives a flying #&%!$ which site is "best"? I post to both. I prefer this one. Am I "right" or "wrong" in my preference? Who gives a damn? My personality fits this site. It is where I need to spend the most of my time. For those who don't agree fine, I hear your argument, I listen to your reasoning, then I will do what I am inclined to do anyway.

Empowering someone to piss me off doesn't make much sense. Hence, I just don't do it. Why complain when you feed the source?

den, you seem to like that word HYPOCRITE alot. another personality coming out (yes im asking you if your the troll hypocrite)

No.

When I saw that post I felt bad, because I knew that's what people would be thinking.

I guess hypocrite saw my postings about hypocrisy and decided to make another appearance. I'm not going to jab someone about the tragic loss of his dog.

You got it!? KEWL! Maybe we should be looking at a river in Pennsylvania for a fall weekend paddle? Is that too far for you NYers?

I get to take mine out for a few hours tomorrow, can't wait! I'm going to try paddling with Abby in my lap, should be interesting, wish me luck, lol.

I think if you drive though Canada it takes less time to get here. But I've never been to NY so I don't know. My pop goes to Buffalo regularly and he goes through Cananda.
