That's awesome! I hereby welcome you into the Worst-Photos-of-RC.com thread and bestow upon you the coveted title, Protector of the Crap. Rise, Sir tom_Harding.

Nice shoes, though.
Apropos the UK climbing site: It seems like there's a hierarchy of expected meanness that goes like
beginner blogs < mountain project and other general sites < rc.com < b.com and the taco
Seems like user climbing ability corresponds pretty well with little tolerance for idiocy, as well.

Hate to bring that *other* thread into this one, but you're implying that the average mp poster is less experienced than the average rc.commer. That's a pretty bold statement.
I think there is one factor and one factor alone responsible for the different meanness levels: official moderation level. A site (or blog) with a strong site-sponsored moderation level filters out all the meanness, and counts on the moderators to keep things in line. A site with less institutional moderation, like the taco or rc.com, is primarily moderated by the forum users themselves. Mob rule. It's ugly at times, but it's equally effective.

BTW, sir tom, can you provide a link to your thread on uk climbing? I'd be very curious to see how it went down.

It pains me, but I'm going to have to agree with Crackie on that one. The average RC.knobber probably can't climb into bed without getting the Aids.

If this were my only option for climbing, I'm fairly certain I'd quit.
The title is "red point," which it certainly ain't, and the caption is "sport climbing festival," which it also ain't. Hell, it's barely climbing at all.

THis guy likes to tie in with a half winsor.

A good candidate for worst spelling thread though... really, people ought to be more careful when mocking others. I'm all for the mocking but ya gotta watch yur own ass.
