Bad behavior

[Alligator]

You agree with Skylines post or not.

But to characterize it as "silly" as a mod has done is just silly.

These gossip threads come up from time to time and they are all different. Sometimes they are true and sometimes false, and some times they are in between what he and she said. Often the facts don't get put out there and these threads generate a lot of controversy. I've been considering different ways to approach these and haven't found a good solution as there are a lot of balancing concerns.

I have no comment on the silly reference.

I don't see how pork chops and the method of preparing and cooking pork chops have anything to do with bad behavior. If the now famous pork chop incident is true, it sounds like the pork chop cooker upper was trying to duplicate cooking the pork chops under trail conditions. A little ash and a little dirt for seasoning. As far as taking a bite out of the pork chop in question, well, if you ever watch some of those TV cooking shows you will know that the best chefs always say you should taste the food before serving it. So what did the pork chop cooker upper do wrong?

Jack did quit smoking but I heard the ash story from long ago.

In the case a the bitten chop, well, Jack didn't quit Jim--- and perhaps he doesn't recall. Seems the story has been combined, besides, it wasn't a porkchop- it was a muskrat!

Heck, just the other night my friends were like- Nean! You took off all your clothes and were dancing on the table!!! And I was like- I wasn't dancing on the table.


.....then I saw the photos-yikes!

So when someone disagrees with you you assert that they are riding a higher horse than the one you are riding?

nope, don't ride horses, big or small, just making a point.

Wouldn't it be great if we could see our own faults as easily as we see others?

I don't have this problem- but everyone else does.

The only point I can see you've made is the one on top of your head.

There is so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best of us,' that it ill behooves any of us to talk about the rest of us.

I've always liked that saying.

Public shamings are wrong.
I should not have to explain why they are wrong.
People should know better.

So, your against newspapers publishing the names and photo's of convicted felons?

• Don't let your behavior impose upon other people.
• The hostels, trail angels and other providers helping you out is a privilege and not a right.
• Say Please.
• Say "Thank you".
• Write a thank you card at the end of your hike. Your list is probably big!
• At the end of the day, a smile, being even tempered and having a willingness to meet people part of the way goes a long way to resolving MANY issues..be it on the trail or in 'real life'.

Just my opinion anyway.

Mags, the voice of reason! Very good, especially your first one.

I think (but I'm not sure) it is a reference to a "secret identity".
