I see they closed the Lone Wolf thread at WB.

what is the thread title?

i found it.

forget about socks, i think it was teacher who asked me with such great concern whether she should be worried about you, and then mentioned "the other site"(here).all she had to do was read my first response-he's fine.

oh yeah, I saw that thread. at first I was concerned when I first saw it, particularly since I had just seen the gent a week and a half ago, and wondered if some health issue had come up. Then I read the rest. Glad it was no cause for concern.

My first thought when I saw those pictures was the looms in Edinburgh, Scotland. RS, Perhaps I should consider getting back to my Scottish roots and getting a kilt also.

Would love to see you gents in kilts.

How come everyone wasn't moderated for talking about closed threads?
And was the reasons given by HM for closing the old cafe the reptiles or the ones she gave the reptile???

she was abducted and murdered. my opinion

oh heck, I was hoping for abducted and being held prisoner in some remote cabin for some backwoods guy and that she would be able to escape in the spring. shucks, shucks, shucks.

so what kind of a person do you think would do that? a backwoods guy? why in the world would someone abduct a 66 yr old woman and murder her in that remote part of the world? I just can't wrap my head around this.

MM, unfortunately an excellent point.

Wise Old Owl · Jan 31st 2014, 10:05pm

Just when you think all the questions over there have been started or posted. Odd really.... Part of what is happening over here is we don't have to talk about answering noobie questions. Hense its a comfort zone-Makes sense to me.

She is exempt from the rules

OzJacko · Jan 31st 2014, 10:08pm

Stopped reading that thread after the second page.
Too many armchair speculations for mine and I didn't like where it was going.
I have a well developed internal ignore switch.

On a note closer to my own experience, it's been about 8 months since the event.
Can anyone tell me what actually happened to the old guy who drove into the Trail Days Hiker Parade?
Did he have a seizure or something?

I don't understand the whole thing. I mean, if I don't agree with someone or am "offended" I don't engage. Why ruin the experience because of a "few bad eggs." I was only a periodic poster over there, but post several times a day here. To me it feels "like home." A bunch of fun loving, sarcastic idiots ... just like my real family. I don't even have to worry about saying idiots (or assholes)
... 'cause over here it's said with love

:sick:

Trillium · Jan 31st 2014, 10:24pm

So, I've been over there reading HM's thread and just busted a gut reading the following from Aficion, particularly the last line:

"Having answered thusly, I would like to add a few cogent thoughts. I do not come here to try and make others feel good about themselves. I come to learn, to laugh, to share, and to enjoy the company of people who share a passion for the outdoors in general and the AT in particular. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do....but if you don't...It is your own damn fault."

THAT was the whole problem.
Someone who gets offended easily, has very definite ideas of right and wrong would roll up her sleeves and plow into every thread discussion.
The reptiles issues with politics etc, were just a screen and a search for excuses.
I'm very fond of the lady and owe her gratitude for the help she gave, but I hope she stays well away from this site. I am her friend on F Book and hope to remain so.
But I don't say swear words on there (much), although I'm expecting her to drop any feeds from me since I liked the page "I love F###ing Science" - asterisks are mine.

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't saying she was the narcissist. I've never met her, but when I had some "woman" hiking questions I PM'd her and she had some great answers. I just like being on a site where I can say what's on my mind and you can like it or lump it. Plus I don't have to worry so much about making sure my "filter" is on. Can't do that in the real world.

hikerboy · Jan 31st 2014, 10:36pm

i dont get it. even her straight forward thread is all over the road, she's broken like 12 of the eleven terms of service in the past few days and still the green one lurks and laughs, doing nothing.
i wonder if hes doing it (or not doing it)because he knows it bothers us.

A Sawyer Squeeze is the only filter I plan to use. Other filters are too heavy and not needed by me.

I take a different slant on it.
Don't stop her there as she will have a huge void in her day and may come here.
If you hadn't started this site, I would be all for banning her there and trying to restore, but you can't go back. This place is developing as a nice hybrid between there and Sargent Rock's place.
Look forward, not behind.

I really do like her, but need somewhere on the internet (like here) where she's locked out. A bit like I used to not be able to relax and say what I thought when my mother was in the room. Always minding my p's and q's as we say.
