I think he identified himself as belonging to a backpacking group. That is
precisely the sort of group that should be condemning mountain biking..
If he is not doing that, then he is indeed a dumb asshole. That is not
stirring the pot, that is calling it like it is!

gotta go boys - planning my next grizzly bear country adventure - one


in montana and another in alaska. *expect to see many bears and no
bikes. *you just sit back in your recliner and read a Nat Geo, thats
the closest you will ever get to real wilderness.


I am fed up with the wilderness because of fools like you. You leave nothing
but ruin and wreck wherever you go. The whole world is going to hell because
of your greed and lack of regard for the natural environment. I hope a
grizzly bear takes you out. The world will be an infinitely better place
without you.

oh you are such a fool, and a useless one at that. i have practiced no
trace hiking and surfing my whole life, whereas all you do is leave
your fat assprint in your couch. on oh yes - i hunt and fish too! *i
am sure you just love the fact that i also sustainably harvest the
earths fauna. so the whole worls is going to hell because of people
like me??? *LOL!


Yes, it IS, actually. Human selfishness is the root cause of the
extinction crisis we are experiencing. You are typical of humans who
criticize others, but excuse whatever they choose to do, just because
they choose to do it. Nature culls the weak. It's called "evolution".
Humans, by hunting & fishing, seek out the strongest & healthiest
specimens, thereby weakening the gene pool. Your ignorance of basic
biology is stunning. The arrogance you exhibit is a sure sign of
terminal stupidity.

nice try, but as usual you fall far short.

i dont need a lesson in evolution from you, i have read "voyage of the
beagle" twice, am a big fan stephen j gould, and have an education and
career in earth sciences - as opposed to a degree in some random
liberal arts. ho hum. so much for your generalization and
theory. if there was ever a weakening of a gene pool its the one you
are swimming in.

you see i am not a trophy hunter like the stereotype you hopelessly
try to group me with. i pass on the big strong buck and instead take
the genetically inferior spike for meat. this culls the gene pool
even faster than natural selection can, and anyway i have no use at
all for a mounted head on my wall. dont want it, dont need it, i have
plenty of photos of bears and wild horses and moose and mountains and
glacial valleys that look far better than a dead animal that i respect
and wish to let live so he can propagate his superior genes.. just
like our ancestors, i feed off the weak, again - natural selection as
it is meant to be. same with fish - dont need the big one on the wall,
just a couple in the frying pan with the added bonus of being able to
bathe in the wonder of the great outdoors. maybe i am wrong, but thats
a wee bit better than eating cheese puffs in minnesota while watching
"Ellen".

as far as mountain biking, i would think you would encourage it in
bear country. the bears and cougars can pick off the slow ones in the
back easily - natural selection, right? good thing in my day of
racing i was able to stay in the middle of the pack! strength in
numbers baby, two old farts - a couch potato and one with a hand saw
will never make it.....LOL!


keep dancing! your replies are so entertaining - its like watching a
drunken blindfolded idiot trying to hit a swinging pinata.

oh my geology degree is serving me quite well, thank you. no need to

be a millionaire.

Geologists know how to exploit earth resources better than most other
exploiters. Only civil engineers like Tom Sherman do more damage to the
natural environment.

i must admit, however, i am quite disappointing with your reply.

apparently you got nothing. but then thats no surprise, i just didnt
think you would run out so quickly.

Yes, it is the old, old case of casting pearls before swine.

the only decent barb you had was comparing earth sciences (goephysics

in my case) with liberal arts.

The sciences need to be put back in the box. The Medieval Ages had the right
idea when monks and priests ruled the roost. At least there was some
morality back then. Riding mountain bikes on hiking trails would have been
considered a mortal sin deserving of everlasting hellfire.
