El Douchery in the Community

No, I don't...and when I do get out, I generally try to avoid asshats.

I prefer the term douchenozzlery!

I read 2 darn pages, and not even one crying that the word 'douche' is sexist. Where are the late-comers here?

Well, you could do a search and bring up a link to that fantastical diatribe once put forth here or even cut and paste it with credit given to the original author of course.

Funny I just noticed this post. Last weekend I met the only asshole climber I have ever met. Our conversation started with me saying,"It's such a nice day today". His reply was,"could be better". Living in the Seattle area I look at a small break in the clouds like it is sent from god so I found this a comment a bit confusing but went on with my climb. After stepping back on the ground after the climb I mentioned that it would be nice to have an anchor at the top of the climb for lowering and easy cleaning. To this he said that with my "attitude" I wouldn't be climbing much longer. I asked him what he meant and he went on a rampage about shit I should be expecting noting odd things like "getting attacked by eagles, getting shat on by pigeons, stepping in shit" and a slew of other random ones that I have cleared my brain of. What makes someone someone talk like this to someone they have met only 5 minutes prior. I'm still kind of baffled as to what ticked him off.

While maybe the adage could be never take only sport draws to a trad climb, you can always take a #10 or #11 hex to a sport climb.

His comments may have been a bit harsh, but anchors for easy lowering and cleaning? WTF, get your lazy ass back to the gym if that's what you want.

You probably just onsighted the route that he's been projecting for months. It all comes back to that whole ego problem.

sigh...

Now that you mention it, I am OUTRAGED by the misogyny on this site. It's so pervasive that even the PC queen has been tricked into thinking its okay to use.

And I just realized that the title "EL Douchery in the Community" reveals the subconscious sentiment that Douchery is of Spanish/Mexican oprigins. Misogyny and rascism are two hallmarks of a Douche. Is this like when the most homophobic person turns out to be gay?

Thanks Evan. I am indeed the queen of the personal computer. And my lover is the king: a level 85 troll shaman in...THE WORLD OF WARCRAFT! AHAHAHAHA!

Shut up, tie in and climb
