I've always found it curious how the folks over there keep bringing up this board. Are they really bereft of any meaningful conversations, backpacking-related or not?? Just visited that site to take a look at the referenced thread, and it seems like there's a lot more non-sense compared to here. Well, to each his own...

so he had the nerv to post this, but it was one of the "other board" that had nothing better to do then lurk over here. tsstsstss....


honestly though. I like both boards. Of course this is my home, but I still visit other peoples home once in a while.”

“I LOVE this site!!!”

“I started out on the other board about two years ago and I still post there a lot, but TT is home now. I like the format better and the group hikes are great, not to mention the people here--funny, friendly, competent hikers.”

“I have met a GREAT bunch of folks here....we do have fun here...don't we???
LOL.....”

“*ahem*
I have hiked the PCT, CDT, and AT all in the same year. I own every piece of MH and TNF gear made. I hike to work with a 47.427 lbs. pack on every day. If you haven't hiked with me at least once, you don't deserve to post on the same thread as me. If I don't know the answer to a bp related question, I'll make one up, then defend my answer in the face of irrefutable evidence to the contrary. I make cute little signature lines and worry to no end about the post count under my screen name, dying to get a hat I will never wear.”

“Hike the Tripple Crown with a 47.247lbs pack...I don't think so...otherwise your story sounds legit.”

“hmm, dub until you magically undo the post on the violin thread where you link without the link showing in the status bar...I'll consider you a spy from the other side!!”

“Hi there StickmanWalking....and what is the .247 ??......whatever it is can't ya live with out it???”

“Maybe I am a spy Gemini, sent in to supply the other side with tactical information by becoming a sleeper agent. My mission might be to discover the chemical make up of the so called Lime Green Jellow.”

“Ahhh, which year did you do the triple? I did it three years in a row. We may have passed along the way. In which direction did you hike the trails? The third year I hiked each of them in both directions. (Could not afford shuttles and had to hike back to my car.)”

“Dub I did not say I hiked the triple crown with a 47.427 lb pack, who would make such a crazy claim, hahahahaha rofl roflmao lol ;) ;/ :) fwiw btw jmtcw wwjd tgif yhbt hand. I merely said I hike to work with one. Oh by the way, did I mention when I hike to work I have to bushwack 43 miles in each direction?”

“You have it easy Stickman...I have to walk through 10 feet of snow and pull my car behind me, all while being chased by wolves.”

“Do I need to go over to backpacker.com and troll again?”

“Cool! We gottem at the point that all we have to do is threaten and they flinch like a scared puppy!”

“Do I need to go over to backpacker.com and troll again?"
walkindude

You mean you still aren't trolling there?”

“awww fcuk them and the fcuking horses they rode in on - I don't know what it is about that fcuking site but I just don't like their fcuking attitude starting straight from the top fcuker”

“I haven't trolled over there in several months. I got board. it was tooo easy to piss people off. Also that puss of a moderator kept deleting my posts.”

“http://forums.backpacker.com/login.jsp ....sorry but the forums are experiencing problems right now....”

“It must be a pre-emptive strike. WoW ~ what a bunch of lame asses over there.”

“eh eh eh..you guys have too much fun over here..”

“I trolled over there a few months ago. The reason I did was because we have lots of them over here. I kinda wondered what is was like to start fights with people on the internet. I have way too many friends here to troll here so I went to the other site and cut loose. To be honest with ya, it kinda made me feel bad. Some of the people really seemed to stress out over my comments. I think I may have even scared a few people.”

“So who is going to be the one to start the problems???


Not me!

“lol walkindude, which troll was yours?”

“He won't tell he might want to use it again.”

“I was just wondering if one of my trolls interacted with his troll.”

“Dub, we could plot together, I've never had a troll before, but it could be a lot of fun.”

“I think it's interesting that we have not heard from hikurr since his first two posts.”

“Sure thing Roam...tag teaming trolls have worked well in the past.”

“Hikurr is a troll”

“What? There's not enough room on the internet for more than one backpacking site?

Granted, I think the other site is boring and slow moving, but to each their own. Just my opinion.

I think previous flame wars have been a lot of fun though, but I participated with a sense of humor. Others didn't, and got upset. Therefore, I stopped.”

“I think there is room for backpacking sites and sites like thebackpacker.com”

“LOL stickboy!! I her'dat! This place izzy only place post. The format is something outa the mid-90's. I've looked at it twice, and so hated the format that I didn't even bother searching thru it.

I did just look at the previous link, and noticed mapleleaf and tarbubble posting several a query!

TREASON!!”

“You damned dirty ape, now you've got me cornfused!!”

“Cornfusion, it's what's fer breakfast!!!!

Heyallfar! That should've said "This place izzy only place 'I' post."”

“geeeez....I didn't never ever think this post would generate this much/kind of response.

I was going for more of the "shouldn't we be a kindler, gentler kind of poster on these forums". Not a go "postal" : ) on these forums.

Interesting reading thru the post here tho. Looks like some got the old blood pumping getting ready for a fight.

Hope we all just remember to be a little nicer to all we encounter today.............”

“by the way WW , I'm not a troll...but thanks for noticing anyway.”
