I'd done the hike before by myself but it was in December and it's all downhill going down and all uphill coming back-- like 6 miles round trip. And I'd been on shorter hikes with her in similar heat where she did fine and had no trouble keeping up with me so I figured today would be rough for her but still ok since it's still only 3 miles uphill.

But it's certainly not a position I want to put anyone else in ever again.

I almost got someone killed today taking them on a hike that was a bit too strenuous with too much uphill and too much heat. I had to leave my friend and make it to cell phone range and call 911 and they sent helicopters. It was their fourth rescue that day.

my mothers in law are in search and rescue and ya this kinda **** happens all the time. Normally stretcher carries out again not helicopters but on occasion helicopters


Curious what the reasoning was behind Victor's latest ban for posting a tweet which I've seen and which seems pretty accurate?

Can you DM me the tweet?

Where tf is Mets?


Does anyone else think we shouldn’t have a Jewish person modding the Israel /palestine thread? I’m seeing lots of pro IDF bias


Lol PW. Outdoing yourself per usual.


Food for thought

If you have a bias, should you hold yourself to a higher or lower standard?

Have you seen any mods with a pro Palestine bias?

FREE METS

FREE VICTOR

Victor had a 1 hr ban that ended a long time ago. He had probably already gone to bed and hasn't noticed yet he even got banned.

He completely dominates the thread as it is. What exactly is your vision of a "non biased" thread with a gentile moderator? Victor making 80% of posts (mostly just rage bait) and you and Jalfrezi sprinkling in the other 20%?


You should send out a call to rafiki, gs, BOIDS and all the other posters who've mysteriously gone AWOL and who the UN’s international court of justice believes are supporting an apartheid regime.


@dun I don’t think that having heavily biased mods is good for that thread

That’s all I’m saying.

Who is the Jewish mod in the thread?


I don’t wanna argue anymore but I think my point is valid but maybe it isn’t. I am not sure. I don’t think Mets should be banned and I don’t think Victor should be banned for what he posted either. I see lots of egregious attacks on one side and some from the other. I don’t think either warrants bans and they stifle the conversation

At the same time I’d rather be inclusive than exclusive so I withdraw my argument

I would like however for current mods to do less bans and to try and be as unbiased as possible and err on the side of the caution instead of fairness.

I haven't seen anything from CN or ganstaman that tells me anything about their religious beliefs. Also, I really, really don't care if they are Jewish, Muslim, or sun worshipers.

I was asking because I'm pretty sure that in the latest display of his stellar reading comprehension abilities, PW has confused the fact that Crossnerd has said a couple of times that she is married to someone who is Jewish to mean that she is herself Jewish.

I understood that you were asking mainly to prove that PW was being an idiot. I know that you don't care.


we should find a unitarian to mod the thread

As long as it's not a sun worshipper. Those sneaky ****ers are definitely up to some mischief.

Just when you thought PW couldn't go any lower, he is somehow able to surprise us. You really have to hand it to him: the man knows how how to troll.


I said I take it back jeez

I've always figured they were totally anti - Israel, or else Victor would have been permabanned a long time ago.

The UN has said that posters on a poker forum support apartheid? Seems unlikely.

As I posted when I deleted it, the tweet was reductive and incendiary, and further violated the rules for that thread with the generalized phrasing “Israel is racist”. It’s not acceptable discourse and was posted without any commentary that furthered the debate of that thread- if anything tweets like that posted without comment are likely to derail any productive discourse and devolve into more accusations of racism against individuals in the thread, which we’ve had more than enough of already.

I removed it and Victor had a timeout of less than 3 hours.
