Imo "protagonist" and "antagonist" in this case are a little bit of a Grey area. Who is antagonizing who? To the onlooker with no vested interest or personal experience with any of the parties (some I question the authenticity, they are likely pseudonym for other members), everyone seems to be antagonizing eachother. Not enough new products? Lack of snow?

I think Manney is great. Just sayin.
I think Manney is absolutely awesome too, poster who joined a forum specifically to say that some random member is great with their second first post and is in no way connected with Manney.

Edit: first post. First.

I admit that Manney and I have skiied together--once, a few years ago. But that's not why I like his style on the boards.

Live and let live, brothers and sisters of the snow!

First off, I am relatively new to TT and to Telemark overall. I've learned so much from the regulars in the two short years I've been here.

To be completely honest, I am slightly surprised by the magnitude of calamity caused by a few posters here.

To me, tele is the philosophy first and foremost, and then it is skiing. I guess that's why I like HOKs though they don't glide that much, hah. The philosophy manifests itself in solitude and focus, in finding slopes less traveled away from crowds, in the physical effort climbing them, and then in the reward of wind stroking your hair when you go downhill. If you don't agree with somebody, just pick a different slope, and don't give up on skiing, speaking metaphorically. Account deactivation seems like an overreaction to me.

Click on the username, about halfway down their profile is a link that reads "add foe." I believe this is what ignores that user's posts, although not positive.
