“Yeah, we show up at any given place, meet up with people whom we don't know their real names, hike out to back country and set up camp. How crazy it that. lol”

“Some have never met each other in person, they just get to know each other on line. Others have shared many trips together. It's pretty easy to get to know each other while sharing a campfire.”

“You live in Idaho?

Lucky.

Welcome to the nuthouse, prepare to be declared a troll and generally abused for the first week.

Some around here think it's a sort of hazing thing that's required.”

“
Welcome to the asylum.

Employ caution.

You might want to stay in the shallow end of the jellow at first.

“that's great i know how easy it is to get to know people aound a campfire and i am one of the few people i know that knows are blessed to live in idaho others take it forgranted but i love it here”

another one passed out while standing in line the next day for breakfast

offered a ridgerunner a beer (big mistake)
stalked by some stalker in the woods

“This is just an insanely awesome idea

“Rockymountaineer is somebodys troll. The lack of punctuation is used to hide a distinct writing style and to portray a sense of naivete.

“you're being initiated. just roll with it~”

“We like new people, they taste like chicken.”

“I get so confused.

”

“you're being initiated. just roll with it~

You are doing better than me. Most of my first posts were in fuego or about another forum board (thats not to be mentioned around here).

My entry was like smacking a hornets nest, lol.”

“

What? Me Worry?”

“Wow, the Idaho hikers now have a majority!”

“I think I will save my welcome pic for another day.”

“When someone bothers you or gives you a hard time, feel free to use the "ignore this user" button. It is fantastic!”

“especially if you're the obsessive type”

“Ya stinkin' troll!

Yer right - this site rocks!”

“Roadkill burger with cheese, please.”

“I'd hang with the Idaho contingent. We are more like Idaho here than those people on the "west side".”

“his myspace is suspiciously new and empty. it doesn't have a blog anywhere on it, i'll bet that's because on the blog it tells you when someone opened their myspace account. everyone in myspace has a blog even if they have never ever blogged anything. somehow he's removed it.

troll”

“Okay I got ya.......”

“I wonder if the newby is any good at fart baseball?”

“Pamela quit being a b i t c h. You guys shouldn't wonder why the community here doesn't grow much and why a lot of the more long term members have become more and more quiet.

Hey dude, if your ever in the Denver area look me up and we'll go climb something.

“LOL. Roam, it's a very poorly implemented troll, man. Chill out.”

“i dont think rocky is a troll. isnt the point of being a troll to be obnoxious and piss people off? this is the blandest troll ive ever met”

“I don't think he is a troll either CB.

Welcome to the monkey house Rockymountaineer!”

“I figure it's 1 of 3 things-

1. Somebody is reinventing themselves.
2. Somebody is biding their time for some kind of troll attack.
3. Somebody just plain sucks at trolling.”

oh wow his myspace is empty..sure sign he is a troll”

“ewker and crash bang people do not suddenly become total morons just because it is their first time posting on trailtalk and somehow forget what words mean and how to use punctuation it just does not happen that way that they are so confused as to what is going on yet they are able to function within the posting environment and post to trips but yet not understand the very basics of the thread dynamics and of the english language”

“Hey, I'M the BENIGN Troll around here thank you.....find another forum to be "Nice" on...SCAT!”

“You would be surprised at what people find difficult when using new (to them) web apps. Usability tests always amaze (and sometimes worry) me.”

“If you can tell a troll buy his bad spelling and lack fo pounctuation I guess I'm a trool also. Welcome to TT RockyM! Where do you like to hike? I was on a great hike in the Sawtooths last summer with a small group of boy scouts, with some pictures here:

http://patentpending.blogs.com/patent_pending_blog/2007/09/jims-scout-acti.html

BTW, many TT old timers adopt fake identities and post under the fake identity and say things meant to incite riot, hurt feelings, slander reputations, etc. They do this for fun and to relieve boredom. So any new identity on the TT scene is first assumed by some to be one of these fake identities posted by a regular, with the fake identity being called a troll. Hence the review of evidence corroborating your actual existence. Don't worry about it.”

“hpm he is using the more complicated part of the app just fine despite acting confused by basics oh boy what do i do now hit the submit message button i do not know this is so confusing but great i love all of you so much where am i”

“I say we throw him on the rack to get a confession out of him that he is in fact a troll.”

“That was just a general comment that usability tests sometimes show surprising results. I have seen users get things I thought would be difficult and totally blow what I thought would be easy.

But that was very rare.
