No you didn't.
Quickest of all is to take action and take no credit, ever.
Just do what you're gonna do and NEVER EVER explain it.
'No reply' is much faster.
No needed to know it was you, or why you did it.

Yes. And you still should split the thread and return the relevant posts to General.

That's what they pay you the big bucks to figure out.

Jay Fair enough. Where shall I split it? That's what they pay you the big bucks to figure out. Jay I'm fine with it being left unsplit and left here, so if you want it split and returned to General you'll have to tell me where you want it done. Bear in mind it's threaded, so splitting things cleanly isn't usually an easy thing to do. EDIT- Oh, and I have no way to undo a split so there's no way to go back if you chose the wrong spot.
i agree. split it at Rgolds post and lock the top and let this crap stay here and continue on it's meandering way

I honestly don't give a damn what forum it is in. I might feel differently, if, like rgold, I had spent my valuable time crafting a thoughtful message. If you want to keep people like rgold posting here, maybe you should think before you act, rather than mindlessly throw his posts into the trash.

Looks like a good spot to me as well, as it falls just prior to 2 of the incidents that got brought up in the Mod forum. One problem though- the thread splitting thing doesn't just chop the thread at a certain point, but rather moves that branch of the tree into a new thread. Because of this I'd have to split off a dozen or so branches and there's no way to merge them all back together into a single thread. Not so pretty an option, unless you all are ok with simply splitting things at RGold's post and tossing the rest.
i dunno what you mean by 'tossing' the rest. but have to add my two cents that up to and including rgold's post is some pretty good climbing discussion, and it seems a shame to chuck it all.

Some individual posts were hidden a while back when they drifted off topic and into threats - can't all the off topic ones be hidden versus splitting?
Though good luck with that now. Aside from making the call, there is of course the same argument from people who spent lots of time writing their off topic posts, as they were now sort of on topic when that drift was clearly not being stomped out.
Why can't everyone just post exactly how I'd want them to in the first place?

And for the record, I read every post in this thread and think there were good, topic/climbing-related posts after rgold's as well. Looks like at least gabe had one there, and some of the posts on why Petie thought not actually holding onto the rope while belaying was OK were insightful on the way he and his friends approach climbing and were certainly on topic.

so, relevant to both this thread and climbing in general, what do you feel is the height at which your toproper "needs" you to "keep your hands on the belay"?
