Home & Free Solo

This weekend I got back home to California from being overseas for all of
February. I came home to find massive storm damage on my property, tree
issues, shingles blown/torn off the roof, and all the various related costs
that insurance won’t cover. So as of now I am looking at somewhere around
$7K-$10K to fix things. I was lucky the tree didn’t hit the house.

Then this evening I watched the NatGeo documentary “Free Solo�
documenting Alex Honnold’s mind boggling free solo climb of El Capitan at
Yosemite. That put all of my issues in perspective. Both the climb and the
cinematography of the climb are simply jaw-droppingly amazing, and worth
seeing. Just be warned that if you have vertigo problems, extreme heights are
involved.

I'm saddened to hear of this - somewhat demoralising for sure. I lost my
main garden fence to gale force winds just a few weeks ago but time and
money HAVE fixed things.

David,

As you well know, Savageduck already binned you. Due entirely to your
own actions; he completely ignored my warning concerning you, and, you
didn't let me down. G

Hi Mike, do be careful with David in Devon. Things are not quite as
they appear to be with him.

You asshole!!

Why do you think you have the right to add cross posts to any OP, even if you
have not authored it?
I did not X-post my original to uk.comp.sys.mac or comp.sys.mac.system as it
had nothing to do with Macs, or iOS devices.

Why do you think it is OK to hijack threads?
If you have a problem, start your own new thread!

As for me, I have to further refine my filters/killfile.

The Internet belongs to everyone. You use it voluntarily. Once something
is 'out there' it is there for good and you cannot control it.

That does not mean that it is in anyway acceptable to hijack a thread, and
add cross posts when they were not intended to be a part of the OP.

I did not X-post my original to uk.comp.sys.mac or comp.sys.mac.system as it
had nothing to do with Macs, or iOS devices.

You probably didn't know that there would be any kind of problem when
you made your initial post.

There wasn’t any problem with my OP. That only materialized when you added
your piece.

You posted a link which has caused problems for other folk.

Now you are lying.

The YouTube 360 link was one you posted, not me. The only link I posted was
the NatGeo link. The "other folk" that experienced a problem was you.

As for me, I have to further refine my filters/killfile.

No, you don't.

Yes I do!

you're trying to justify being an asshole.

there was *no* problem whatsoever, up until you showed up.

he did no such thing.

as usual, you are lying in an attempt to cover up your despicable
actions.

No, you don't. You need to be civil and more caring of others. I did
consider adding the Mac groups back in, but decided not to do so to
demonstrate goodwill. I have no desire to 'fight' with you.

you can demonstrate this supposed desire by not altering posts, or
better yet, not posting at all.

What may help a touch is to send replies asunder, as you have done.

There is no civility among a handful of flooders.

+1.

I suspect there might be a medical/medication or some other aspect to
their behaviour. I only pick up fragments because of killfiles, but it
looks very odd to me.

Sadly true. Unfortunately, lack of civility is becoming a trend. I have
a theory as to why, but will not state it here. I prefer to stick to
photography related issues.
