Vandeman's ignorance busted (yet again) - this one!!!!!!

You said mountainbiking was a pointless and frivolous activity ... and I simply pointed out that hiking is also a recreational activity with similar impacts on the environment. That's the bottom line. _All_ activities that use trails have an impact. All are recreation. Some have much more of an impact--these are the non-human powered activities involving horses, motors, or engines. How much impact are we willing to accept? Hiking and mountain biking have similar impacts in terms of erosion and wildlife disturbance, hence it would make no sense to ban one and allow the other. It is true that these two groups of users have the opportunity to annoy each other. Groups of hikers tend to talk loudly and block the trail. If you've ever come across a large Sierra Club hiking outing it can be unnerving; I once went on a Sierra Club hike on Mount Tam in Marin county where 92 people showed up and even though the leaders divided the group into two hikes, even 46 people in a group is way too many. Mountain bikers aren't as loud, and that's part of the problem--they can be riding pretty fast and startle hikers. If the governing bodies of parks wanted to alternate access between the two groups (like some lakes do between power boats and sail boats) that would be fine. The bigger problem with trails in the San Francisco Bay Area is with those that allow equestrian use. The horses create a huge mess that the owners don't clean up, which annoys all the other trail users and they cause a lot of trail damage. They actually are worse than motorized vehicles on trails because their negative effects last long after they pass through. Alas, equestrians tend to be wealthy and well-connected so attempts to ban horses usually fail. "hiking is also a recreational activity with similar impacts on the environment". The word "similar" has no meaning in a scientific context. It's not quantifiable. But you already knew that, and chose to pretend that it means something. Idiot. |

So what? Judging by your comments and reasoning skills a phd didn't do you much good. By the way your phd is in psyche which means your views on the environment are irrelevant at best.

It means I understand science, which you obviously DON'T. You completely ignored my request for your credentials, which I knew you would, because you have NONE. Idiot. |

Is that all Vandeman? You have no meaningful credentials at all except for an arrest record and a meaningless degree in psychology. You pass yourself as an expert but in reality you are a shill of the highest order.
