Re: I'm done.

Wait… so connyro and lowangle_al have a timeout, but they’re the only ones? I don’t see much of what’s been said since I make liberal use of the ignore function to enhance my enjoyment of this forum, but this sure seems like an interesting approach to moderation. For this forum it’s 1934, Johnny is...

Re: Manney, and similar…

The problem here is pretty clear: the discussion has reached new lows and nobody with any power is willing to do anything about it. Johnnys first diatribe had so many words but said so little and took essentially no stand. The way he flipped on Al later was bizarre. He made a charade of making thing...

No dude, he's fine. I'm just trying to learn and occasionally be entertained while I pretend to work. And this ain't doing it.

Is this how the last few years at telemarktips felt?

Re: Manney, and similar…

We all know in one way or another how important forums like this are to telemark skiing. There is a devoted following in telemark , but it's small, spread out, and doesn't have a singular driving force. We don't have big working magazines or telemark stars. There are a few leading voices, but their ...

Re: Posting Etiquette

Not sure how constructive discussions about individual people can be… especially if they’re not part of the conversation. Then… it gets even harder. . Oh boy, I should have known where this was going. I suppose I too, am guilty of simply putting out what I want to say, and being told by another ano...

Re: Posting Etiquette

I think Josh Madsen should have been more accountable there. But he and Craig Dostie have such a narrow focus, and frankly I don’t know if their heart was in the game to begin with. Josh is a busy guy, and he has his life to live. This is funny, because this speaks straight to the drawbacks of a fo...

Re: Posting Etiquette

It could be so much more… little/no younger skier voices… no post-ski-skiers (we will all get old, scale back or stop skiing at some point). More discussion on technique, health, fitness, injury prevention, injury recovery, safety, forecasting, search and rescue, avalanche. Ppl posting posting like...

Re: Posting Etiquette

I don’t post here a lot, and instead do some pretty serious lurking here, on backcountry talk, and even the telemark skier magazine forum. The act of other posters usurping an OPs string immediately is pretty pervasive on all, though I will agree with another posters comment that this place and the ...
