Dumb Question about thru-hikers!!! read now and answer!!!

[warraghiyagey]

You see David, how much trouble you started with the topic of "thru-hiker"

There's just no point in pondering this thing, because it's so subjective. It's as if most that attempt to hike the AT are just doing it for the prestige of being a thru-hiker, or at least that's seems to be central. It was smart of the ATC to not attempt to define, but then they came up with a 2,000 miler certificate.

What at all does this have to do with cheesecake. . . .?

Well... On page 5 or so, there was a rather large and uneventful debate, after which, jester mentioned his love of the food. I seconded that and the following 15 or 20 posts were following that same line of topic.

Hey Clyde:

Your argument still hasn't changed. All you're doing is insulting me. Pretty pathetic way to make your point.

But you know, in your last post, you made an interesting statement: You're right, we have no idea how much time you've spent on the A.T., so we have no way of knowing your qualifications when talking about such things as completion rates, the number of true purists, etc.

Feel free to tell us, and then we'll be in a better position to judge whether or not you really know what you're talking about here.

Cuz right now there seems to be some doubt. You're really good at insulting people when they say things you don't agree with, but when it comes to telling folks why we should have faith in your own beliefs and statements, then all of a sudden you're pretty quiet.

Why's that?

Why would a person question the emperical knowledge of a guy who has thru hiked the trail multiple times and section hiked for 14 years. Add to this the time spent working or helping out at numerous hostels and trail towns, reading thousands of pages of shelter registers, knowing and communicating with dozens and even scores of trail maintainers, and yes, attending hiker events up and down the trail in addition to being active on most of the online hiker sites. Just sayin....he has an impressive resume.

Folks, if you want to continue discussing this, then it will have to be done without the insults.

Well dang TD, I see Jack and I see your legs hanging out of his backside. Could it be any more obvious. I think you oughta just get a room with the guy and keep it between the two of ya, not air it all out here where the public has to see it.

Well dang Bulldawg, you sure have a way with crude insults with sexual perverse connotations. Guess that name in red gives you the authority.

Inappropriate thing for a mod to say.

Interesting that much the same thing has been said about this mod and another poster.
