forget the other side

“wow I posted a link to for the sleeping bag I'm trying to sell on backpacker and just got flamed for it. Those snobs can keep that forum to themselves.”

“Honestly, don't take it so hard. As I noted over there, low numbers can often mean spammers (all they show is an EBay link and not much else). There gets to be a LOT of them often, so many times people get called on it. Don't take it personally.”

“I found it interesting that he had been a member longer than those who called him on it. Post count seems to be a status symbol over there.

Thats not an attack, just an observation ;-)”

“Flasher, what kind of bag?”

“Mtnsteve, as I noted: many of the forum members had to reregister this past summer, when the forums were overhauled. (I myself am from 2000, but show 2004 now over there.) GBH has been around nearly as long as me.”

“They tend to be way more cliqueish over on the other side.
Even more than here. ;-)”

“They are a bunch of snotty #&%!$heads over there!

:p”

“Some of those snotty #&%!$heads post here too. ;-)”

“I know, I simply meant that considering GBH showed 2006 vs flashers 2005 he might have considered the guy was real before slamming him.

Perhaps he was having a bad day, he usually is much more courteous.”

“Do I get a set of steak knives with that?”

“Someone has a God complex, LOL.”

“Careful, I'll smite your ass ;-)”

“Yeah, gobluehiker's response to your thread almost prevented me from trying to sell my, SHAMELESS PLUG TIME! 4-season Kelty Radiant 2 ($150) but I do post often there...I think we give the same to folks trying to sell stuff here that hardly ever post...

Oooh, bearmagnet...calling me a snotty #&%!$heads makes me feel all warm and fuzzy!

““Do I get a set of steak knives with that?”

Windigrrl, no steak knives, but I can offer you a franchise for the "Get a Life" program ;-)”

“Post count?”

“Post count counts?”

“Flasher - you got one comment that was negative, then 2 comments that supported you, and then you went into a tizzy.

A little thin skinned, no?

“BM consider yourself royally flamed for posting a link to the otherside




I just don't have the time to make it a real flame so just pretend real hard ;-)”

“Honestly, GBH was a little snippy and quick to jump to conclusions - but with what looks like a first post on backpacker, 78 ratings on ebay, a very terse and efficient post and ebay link - you can't really blame anyone for being suspicious. Think about how quickly many newbies here get accused of being trolls.”

“Are you really Pedxing?”

“how ya been Tilt?”

“Sorry, HOI. I'm bored.”

“Hi there Currahee! How are you peeps doing?”

“BM - yeah I know the feeling - I'm still trying to decide whether to go to PA RUCK or to go hang with the hammockers at Mt. Roger's next weekend”

“didn't head to KY Brian?”

“Pretty good, Mr. Currahee! How's about your own bad self?

All my parts seem to be in working order... I guess I better hit the trail!

I'll probably be taking one of my patented Flatlander Trips down here just above the Fall Line in the next few weeks.”

“Talk about post counts....I had 300 something over there...when they re-vamped their site...I couldn't use my old call sign...so I had to change to a different one....now I only got TWO posts there. :o(”

“I stopped posting there when my "AmyG' username was stolen away from me years ago...

“Ya I was probably a littl thin skinned jumping out as I did guess thats what I get for working 7 days straight looking at working 7 more days till I get a 1 day break.

Mountainrunner its a women's Snowshoe 0 degree bag from the northface. Its a synthetic bag weighs about 3.5 lbs and compresses down to 8x18”

“Thieves and cutpurses I'm tellin' ya ---”

“we need post counts here too! why do they get all the good features?”

“3 1/2 lbs for synthetic isn't too bad! What height does it fit to?”

““we need post counts here too! why do they get all the good features?”

We are not worthy :(”

“well she is 5'7 and she fits just right in it.”

“could you imagine the guys that do alot of fuego threads what their post count would be!!”

“At least we don't have people hiding behind all that ad hominem crap...talk about PC.

Do you suppose they use that line around a camp fire?”

“Naw, no one has campfires indoors.”

“I'll see you AMYG back for....let say....$50 bucks?”

“We need patches designed for each trip and sashes to sew them on...

And we need to post more in Latin, dammit!”

“thanks Opie, but I'm over it now...
;)”

““We need patches designed for each trip and sashes to sew them on..."

I was thinking tattoos.”

“I don't have a problem with the people on the other side. Heck most of them are bipostal anyway and post both places. I don't like the website as much though. I don't think they post as many trips though. When it comes to group trips TrailTalkers are the chit.”

“Tattoos... of Course!


I like to post both places --- Play both sides towards the middle, [G]”

“The site is not conducive to Trip Posting. being that there is no Trip Page”

“I especially like the part about not taking a personal attack personally.”

“Yep, it's a personal attack, but it's nothing personal.”

“wow every where I go someone is upset about the attitude over at backpacker.com's forums - some of the people are total jerks but there are also some really decent folks over there - don't overlook that”

“HEY!!!
We on TT have OUR total jerks too!!!!

LOL”
