I suggest the Class of 2003 take this into consideration when they plan their trips. Details available upon request, but really, all one need do is talk to anyone who hiked this year. If you don't go to Janet's, then stay at a motel; you'll be happier, you'll be treated better, and you'll still have your wallet when you leave.

This just looks like a bad case of "didn't notice the date on the posts". The fact that the first two responders attacked him over it didn't help. Can we just chill and let this dog get back to sleep?

You may have done more harm than good with bringing up this thread AYCE. Posting a new link to UJ website and saying good things about him would have done more good. You did the first half, but by dredging up a thread about a fight from years ago, you start getting people to "take sides" on an issue there shouldn't even be sides on.
You could have done a lot better for UJ by not bringing up a thread from the way back and even better by not start it off by starting a flame fight with someone on here that a lot of people like and respect. Now you are just getting more bad will getting started and at the same time being associated with UJs. So either you didnt think that through, or you did and this is exactly what you wanted.

I'm talking about both issues. I've noticed you have posted a new link in the links section to UJ new website so I assume you are a friend or work with him - especially since your IP resolves to Johnson City which is most likely where the ISP for Erwin resides. I've also noticed you have posted that on other sites besides WhiteBlaze.
On the other end JT is liked by many members here and his arguments against this are really out of date. This thread was dead over 3 years ago and now you have dredged it up. This sort of creates an issue where people are going to take sides and only stirs up negative emotions around UJ and his place - doesn't do it a lot of good.

AYCE could very well be Johnny himself? Wasn't there an AYCE that hiked the trail this year?
Talk about Old News?! AYCE.........you are preaching to Choir because this battle has already been fought.

I say we discuss what user names we'd all create to replace our old-and-busted current names. Not necessarily for trolling and such...I'd pick "hikeradonis". Yep, I think that just about sums it up.
Rock was participating recently and he is a site owner - it's an admin call. I'm just a moderator.
Well, I was going to go with Babeasaurous, but someone already gave that one to StarLyte..... and Pack Sniffer is taken.... old fart is taken.... any suggestions (boy, am I gonna regret asking )

Yes, this one probably needs a lock since it is older than some of our posters.
