Let's rephrase that statement so that it really is honest: You have so little respect for the quality of your seconds' climb that you don't think it's worth trying to give them a quality belay. Well, you and I would last as climbing partners for exactly one climb. I find your attitude deplorable. Your second is not climbing to clean gear. He's climbing to climb—normally to free climb—and he deserves as good a belay as he does when leading.

That is fucking classic. How do you make this shit up?

Who's making anything up? He said repeatedly that he doesn't give a damn about whether the second is on tension or not, that free climbing the pitch shouldn't be a priority for the second, and that if the second wants to free climb the pitch, he should rap down and lead it himself. How much clearer could he possibly have been about his disdain for the role of the second.

Maybe try actually reading the thread.
