Appalachian Trail programs at Lees-McRae College near Boone, NC

[warren doyle]

For anyone that might be interested, I'll be giving three programs the next three Sundays (7-8:30pm) in Abrams Auditorium (bottom floor of library) at Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, NC. They are free and open to all.

July 1st - The Appalachian Trail (slide/music show)

July 8th - The Life and Poetry of Don West (poetry reading)

July 15th - 30,000 miles of Trail Stories (storytelling).

Happy trails!

Warren,

One gets the impression that there may be a few members who seek-out all of your posts to respond with insults and personal attacks. While this type of behavior is banned by the site's usage agreement, it often goes unchecked until it escalates into nasty flame wars.

You might consider starting your threads in the Straight Forward forum. This forum is more closely moderated and off-topic or inappropriate posts are sometimes deleted.

Even when your detractors have resorted to name calling and personal attacks, I have not seen you engage in similar behavior. I sometimes wonder if I could keep my cool, in the same situation. I may not always agree with you, but I respect your restraint.

[warren doyle]

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I appreciate it. I believe there are more of you out there than of them. This faith supports my restraint.

Will ethics be covered?

I'd like to see the slide show, but it's a bit far to travel. Maybe it will be showing somewhere nearer where I live later this year.

Are law enforcement people allowed to attend?

[Heater]

When is your class on stealing services?

Near Boone is a relative term. It's about 3 DUI's away. You are at the foot of Beech Mountain. That is some seriously beautiful country there. Grandfather Mountain, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Valley Crucis.

[Uncle Silly]

3 DUI's?? There aren't enough bars IN Boone, much less between there and Banner Elk, to get you 3 DUI's....

[BucketHeadnBryn]

Murphy's is good for at least 2 DUI's.

Not from the area but have visited, and it was only a 20 minute or so drive from banner elk to boone.

[ASUGrad]

Not during the Touron season. They have to slow for every store on 105. You never know when you might find that perfect Christmas ornament.

It takes 20 minutes just to get through the light at 321/105 in Boone. There is a way to get to BE through Valle Crucis so you can hit the Mast General Store(s). The Candy Barrel is my favorite.

I don't always agree with things Mr. Doyle posts here, but I don't agree with "hijacking" or "thread drift" that seems to follow his posts, especially when he is offering free services.

Not that anybody particularly gives a crap, but this activity is more and more turning me away from Whiteblaze.

So thread drift disturbs you more than his illegal activities?

[Lone Wolf]

what does he do that's illegal?

[Creek Dancer]

Are the programs free?

[Lone Wolf]

Are the programs free?

they are FREE and open to ALL

When it's in a thread that has nothing to do with the illegal activities, then yeah, it bothers me. Start a thread about it if you want to talk about it so much... nothing's stopping you. Every single thread of his is hijacked, and he's almost never the one to bring up his illegal activities.

Not that I'm in any way defending those activities, but start a different thread to discuss them. It's not hard to do, there's plenty of bandwidth.

And seriously, show me one person here who's never broken a law. I break the law every single time I get behind the wheel of a car and do 5 mph over the limit.

[Appalachian Tater]

they are FREE and open to ALL

Even "internegators"?

[John B]

I agree with Ender and Sherrill.
