Oh, so we are worried about what other people see on the internet now. Okay, I get it. It is not okay to use a bad choice of words. It is however okay to openly berate people if they are wrong or need enlightenment on the internet... I guess that is invisible on google and they will not be reluctant to join the site because of old condescending UL backpackers like you. I could learn so much from you. Care to adopt me? ;o)

"Oh, so we are worried about what other people see on the internet now."

Concerned.

BPL has been a good source of backpacking information for a long time now. Some of us like to see its standards remaining high. There is a lot of room for -opinion- and we see that all the time. Everybody is entitled to his or her opinion. However, when we cross out of opinion and into misleading statements that seem downright wrong, then we are all obligated to set the record straight.

If I stated that Esbit fuel is a gas, then I expect to see somebody correct me within about ten minutes.

Besides, I can't teach to anybody who doesn't want to learn.

you seem to be missing the point Bob on 04/26/2012 15:29:41 MDT Print View

Bob, I am a very good student when faced with someone that wants to truly teach. As you have seen in my posts, I have been stood corrected. What you do not seem to be getting is that in the process of "teaching", you have chosen to be a jackass in your way of doing so. This will be my last post on the subject because while you have a wonderful knowledge of correct fuel terminology, you seem to lack the courtesy and respect gene while teaching it.

"I did state it is made for artificial fuels before it is made for wood burning."

This is a falsehood. You never made such a statement.

This is what gets you into trouble, Devon.

Perhaps you thought that you stated it, but you didn't.

Find those words. You can't.

You have said that, probably three times now. I am not fighting you on that. I give... want me to cry Uncle or something?

You sure like rubbing in the mistakes of others while not owning up to your behavior issues. Most people got over their bully-stage at age 12. How old are you?
