Oh FFS. This is a post in the "injuries & accidents" forum. Recall & refund was issued. Somehow, thread drift always seems to happen & now it's a "free speech" issue. (I happen to agree that i should be able to think & say what i want, however stupid it may make me look, & to not get canceled for doing it)
So if you’re done, stay off the thread. You can “lock it “ for yourself very easily. What is the point of coming to a thread to suggest locking the thread for others? Threads self lock when no one cares anymore (or Burchey advertises his latest cutlery-ah the good ol’ days)

I would greatly prefer a rock climbing world where we are free to make fools of ourselves and be thought misogynistic or homophobic etc in our posts and route names. Truly.
Then the community can judge us by whether WE OURSELVES make it right or choose to wear black hats rather than simply censorship "woke-washing" of issues that remain a part of our society and need to be acknowledged so that they can be worked on. Not denied or pretended they don't still exist.
Some friends of mine put up a route with an incredibly offensive name but they were referencing THEMSELVES and who the self-styled locals thought they were and how they treated them.
They did it to rub the noses of the "locals" in their own words and actions and not let them escape their own homophobia and the slurs they threw at others. But now its censored here.
It sometimes is more complicated, like we are. But censorship denies that.
Flame on.
Are you referencing the ever classic: Way Homo Sperm Burpers from Fresno?
