1) Why do people who disagree with me always start with "I don't know if
you're being serious or not"? Am I really that funny the rest of the time that
it is confusing when I make a serious point?
2) Amanda's suggestion was that if I am "sick and tired" of reading articles
articles on NSMB.com that I feel are taking a statisicatal anomoly of an
interaction and flogging it to the detriment of our community I should
"regarless of [my] personal feelings on this matter" not read/comment about
it. As far as I'm concerned, and I think I explained it adequately, that's an
invalid suggestion. I think it behooves members of the riding community to
speak out against the sensationalization of this situation.
3) I think (my opinion) that the "Fighting Frommers" was a debacle from every
perspective except comments/views on NSMB.com, which apparently was not the
goal of the article(s). I thought, wrongly, that it was a learnable moment.
4) I'm not sure if your down-talking the creative writing abilities of the
NSMB team, or don't realize how very interesting some of the people you can
meet on the trails are if you stop to say hello, but I think you guys can do
WAY, WAY better than just chasing the same sensationalized crap that we're
reading from everyone else on this subject. If you're worried about views just
use a title like "Loam Ranger Shreds Province's SHIT article on 'War In The
Woods'" or "Peace In The Woods - What The Vancouver Sun Doesn't Want You To
Read."
