Another Day on Solar Slab: How not to Interact with Your Fellow Climber

Remember when it was almost like a boys bathroom contest to point out the traveling nurse/elena troll? She was  next level, bringing out the dumbass in about 20 suckers daily.

I member. I hope she got all the attention she needed.

She certainly did, 20x a day.

Actually she wasn't a troll.  She really was and continues to be that messed up.

Is it Elena or are you guys talking about the “Elenor” of the past?

 I'm not sure. I only remember that she coerced her boyfriend into trying to commit suicide then when he was in the hospital stole all his stuff and fled.  It wasn't until this thread brought her up that I remembered her at all.  

Kind of reminds me of every time I bitch about crowds when I let someone talk me into going to Whippoorwill in October in WV.  That experience is definitely a bummer, but I expect it now, and have for almost the last decade. Definitely since about 2015 or so.  Now, if I want to have a chill day with a wealth of options, I walk further and look for more obscure routes, or try to climb harder.  Well, 2 out of 3 isn't bad heh.  Sucks that it is this way, but it DEFINITELY IS THIS WAY now.  Not trying to dissuade anyone from griping about bad experiences, we're all human, and it's definitely mainstream now.

Who the fuck is the brittle spirit that reported this and had it removed?

The dumbass who points out that the obvious troll is a troll is way more annoying than the actual obvious troll.

Yep, that’s her.

That's not how one effectively replies to "or" questions. 

She goes by both. Her name is Elena; she used Elenor on this site.

Was it misogyny that drove her away? Notice how the male-like trolls are practically embraced on this site, one female troll and OMG LET'S GIT HER BOYS!

Maybe she is the flagger?

I think it was her run in with the law that stopped her posting?  

Y’alls speculation is misogynistic in and of itself.

Your speculative comment on our speculation is misogynistic.  

Sounds like white supremacy to me.

My question is how do the MP mods even decide when to cancel a post? Is a single flag from someone honestly enough to discredit someone else’s opinion?

The particular post you were referencing doesn’t even mention anyone in particular! It was just a general statement!

 

Cancel culture is dumb. (Please don’t cancel this.)

 Of the posts I’ve seen removed, this one didn’t seem to be among the worst (though, while no names were used, it wouldn’t take a huge jump to conclude it’s in response to the comment two posts above it).

Somewhat ironically, the speech that was removed was a complaint about the type of speech the poster is annoyed by.

I wouldn’t equate removing a post that goes against the only rule on the forum with cancel culture.

I can’t remember the obvious troll post. I do remember the response “troll, yawn”. Like it’s 2003, I’ve got Kazaa working cause Napster shut down and I can’t tell what a troll is, so I need someone to point it out to me.

Let’s call him yawn-e. He’s probably the type on a drive to point out every time he sees a cow. Yawn-e looks up at a perfect handcrack and says “I bet it takes a lot of golds”. Yawn-e also loves Chuck Norris facts and Hamster Dance.

Edgy.

Okay, now I am offended! Mods!

Carry on.

Max,

You post quite a bit of good info. I sympathize with you for this story.

But there is a lot of guide-hate on MP, so you can expect this when you mention you are a guide.

I know some guides won't post on MP; some for this reason.

Great. Now we have people spraying about knowing guides. LOL!

It’s funny how differently people read the OP. I read it that some guy tried to steam roll into a simul climb he wasn’t actually up for. I read it like the OP saying, hey, maybe instead of getting trapped in a bubble of tension, have an actual conversation, maybe you’ll learn a lot more.

The other day my partner and I were warming up on a truly random single pitch climb at a crag with 130 or more routes when the only other party we saw that day came and set up right at the base of the climb we were on. Silently, I thought “WTF?”, I would never do that in their situation, but, unlike us, I guess they’d been planning on getting on the climb. We made a little idle chit chat with them, finished the climb and moved on. I can only imagine if they’d brought the vibes the OP talked about, I’d probably handle it less affably.

Mean Mr. Mustard,

You're just now commenting on something I wrote over a year ago? Were you in a coma? :)
