They are arguing about gays, trolls, intolerance, the right, the left, you know all the stuff we talk about over here (between backpacking topics) but they just seem so much meaner about it. Not tough meaner, but nasty meaner.

They make us look downright civilized.

I thought they just discussed finger nail color and stuff like that over there. What happened. Did someone wear white shoes after Labor Day?

A couple days ago they had to pull a thread where one guy (from the right) was going to go over and meet another guy (from the left) and kick some a$$.

Yep. I remember when it used to be soooooooooo civilized, except for the "Wiggy Wars" on the sleeping bag page. That got pretty nasty --- somebody said bad things about Wiggy's customer service and Wiggy allegedly hired an investigator then posted the guy's personal info online.... UNCOOL, donchaknow.

But aside from that.... There were all sorts of political discussions and everyone had their say without getting nasty, even at the height of the impeachment. I can't say for sure, but I don't think the last presidential election helped matters much. And I don't think people repeating what they heard on talk radio helped a whole helluva lot either, LOL

I agree with Buddur. Looks like our trolls aren't getting the response they'd like over here. Odd, eh?

bacpac's a real scumbag.

If Bacpac hadn't been employed at the waste management plant for all of those years, he might be a better man. At least he picked up some superior scuba diving skills.

Actually, bacpac seems to be staying out of it pretty much...he could be using a different personage I suppose.

Whenever I see the word 'personage' I get the urge to throttle someone. Why is that??

I don't know why, Tilt, why do you want to throttle someone? Over 'personage'?

Ha! I said hollered that once late at night in a large bar, a Harley hangout. Or so I thought. It was in my drinking days 15-20 years ago. No one seemed to notice. Later some one came up to me and explained. "None of these guys own a Harley! They just own the t-shirts." I think I was lucky.

Sorry, Mtnmom... That was kindof an inside joke about a former troll infestation we had, LOL

There were times when it seemed like every other word was the dreaded p-word, <G>

Speaking of Harley Davidson posers...

The one guy I worked with called them bikeless bikers...

Have the leather jacket, the wallets with the chain, BUT NO BIKE!

Heck, half of them don't even have a license!

Funny you should mention the bikes. It's Bike Week in Daytona, but we're catching the overflow up here. Lots of cool motorcycles on the road.

That "flame" war over there is at best, a lame war. Or phucks don't even know they're being trolled at first, then take that line and run with it.

If that's not bush league, I don't know what is.

No kidding! I went there looking for a rip roaring fight and fell asleep half way through a thread. It's like watching a cripple fight. Bottom line: They just can't fight like we can here. Our status is safe!

Does that mean I'm a wimp? I think maybe one of my posts caused quite the ruckus over there. I posted what I thought was hillarious sarcasm regarding gay stereotypes. So Outrageous that it didn't require 'emoticons" or any disclaimer. Boy was I wrong! Some people are a little sensitive, aye?
