In light of....

“having read what went on today with all the pure hatred and extremly horrible personal attacks and the re-surface of a person who I found to be the worst offender on this board, it it with heavy heart that I will no long be playing on TT. I have enjoyed this website for about seven years and it has gotten to be out of control. Yes I am also to blame for some of it. But when the fun ends and perople make threats and hit below the belt with personal attacks, then it just is not worth it. Say all you want about "im leaving thread" I truly do not care anymore. I knew I would not be able to post as often when the new job started, but in light of what happened today I am taking an early exit.
I have two trips in the works. I will continue to only post on trips.


Some of you need to look deep into your hearts and then look in the mirror. I hope you find the happiness that you seek on the trails.
Peace to you all

Maple”

“Mapes, I for one will be bummed to see you leave for any reason. I ahve yet to hike with you and yer man and look forward to the cahnce someday (soon I hope). Be cool, I will miss you input as nutty as it may be. May you hikes be mellow and mosquito free.”

“link?”

“Twice in one week....um whats the record?”

“I'm blaming it on the summer's heat. It was in the 90's here today, that's way to hot for me.”

“What Birch said, Maple.
peace”

“Hmmm, and I'm just returned! Wonder what my computer said? Sorry for whatever!”

“seems like SOSO on all the threads.
I think mapes makes 3.”

“BM, what did ya say to her?

mapes, you will be missed!”

“The ignore button is a wonderful feature.”

“Sorry Mapes, I hope I wasn't the main reason. You seem to be the kind of person who wants to do the right thing, that's an awesome quality. Hopefully this job is "the one"! Good luck.

Does anybody have a link to what went on today with the hatred and whatnot?”

“It still feels like it is 90 degrees out there. I've been trying to move stuff and I'm sweating like crazy.”

“mapes, the peace will return to the board and sarge can be ignored. The best sarge post is an ignored one.

I hope you decide to stay.

Does anyone else smell that rotting corpse smell?

“oops sorry, I'll put my shoes back on”

“sorry...beans and rice for dinner....ya know?”

“Pee-yoo!!!!”

“He who smelt it, dealt it!!”

“Danm Dog got hold of the Burritos in the trash.....gonna be a long night.”

“BBQ gas here... gonna miss you maple.”

“Take SC with you.”

“Dang whats going on around here?”

“The usual. Where have you been :-)”

“I must have missed it. I honestly thought yesterday was the lamest day on TT in a while. People must have actually had hiking on the mind or something. All the hate must have blown right past me.

See ya when you change your mind.”

“The ol hornets nest has been a bit stirred up lately, but I don't think it has been any worse than in times past. This is kinda like radio or tv though, if you don't like it - don't read it. Stick to threads that stay on topics that you want to read. That seems simple to me, but I guess some have some trouble with that.”

How "green" you are!”

“We all need a break from time to time. The bullcrap lately has gotten past the point of a cool Friday afternoon car wreck and gone off into left field.

So if you must put down the addictive crack pipe known as Trail Talk for awhile and go to the methadone clinic (other boards that are a pale shade of TT) then so be it. We will always be here when you need a fix.”

“OMG....what did I miss????.....
So sad that some folks can be so mean......
I come here to have fun amnd even talk about backpacking sometimes!!!...BUT mostly FUN!!!...
..I don't do the fuego threads.....
:(”
