Dude, how do you get off calling everybody on this site "arm chair climbers"? And why haven't a bunch of people jumped in and skewered this guy for that comment? Seems like far smaller transgressions get riddled with backlash here all the time.

Somebody is sensitive. Believe it or not DeMichigan, most people killing it in the mountains are not posting to 14ers.com.

Since I was one of the "arm chair" climbers that tried to help the OP, I'll chime in...

I don't really care. It was just a comment that was easy to ignore. Stuff like that doesn't bother me.

Jess' date perhaps??? That guy may have a right to be bitter at this thread.

All of my posts are made from the comfort of my armchair. Do most of you post while climbing?

As all of my ex's have tried to explain to me though my chronic eye-rolling, sarcasm is easily lost when written.

The definition of "sarâ‹…casm" on this site is:
1. Use this color, because your post was not at all in the context of sarâ‹…casm.
