No need to apologize to me Jim. After thinking about it I know you where not calling me an idiot. I often think I have to be on the defensive with certain members, but you have never been one of them.
I need to take a big step back here. There’s no sense being here if I’m pissed off half the time.
Calling Jim out for that general idiot comment (which was pretty benign and not directed at anyone in particular) was lame, but whatever, I'm starting to expect responses like that from you. You were just looking for a fight. Maybe your friends' ITG personas are rubbing off on you.
i dunno....his comment may have been benign on its face, but, given the issues some people have on this board, i can see how it might have come off as "if you're not cool with the CLITs and what they do, you're an idiot". maybe that's why HPD and philpug got all worked up?
that being said, personally, i've always thought that all the criticism of the sundown and bump threads was tongue in cheek, so i don't see why the CLITs get defensive about all this.
THAT being said, look at this:
and this:
friggin' idiots.....
Well, fellow idiots. The poll is pretty conclusive. Things will stay just the way they are. Time to go start a Sundown thread...
How 'bout you switch it up a bit and start a Nass thread instead?

If any of you met any member of the "CLITS" in person you would quickly realize that we are not judgmental and a good group of dudes and dudettes.
. I actually know real people who HATE powder, and that's OK with me. <snip> Having fun is really what counts. After all, aren't we all just playing in the snow?????
friggin' idiots.....
+1 and I don't care if I'm a 'moderator' I will say idiot from time to time
All of us except for 2knees. He's an asshole...
:razz:
We don't have secret club meetings or big patches on the back of our ski jackets. And this group you envision as the CLITS doesn't look down on anyone and is far from cool (;-)).
That's just what they told you to spare your feelings.
Yeah, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or at least what you're comortable with, or, more importantly, what you enjoy. I actually know real people who HATE powder, and that's OK with me. There are so many different places, methods and conditions, that I say ski and board any way that makes you happy. I may tease but I honestly believe there is no right and wrong about skiing. Get out and do what you love, no matter how good or bad you might be at it. Having fun is really what counts. After all, aren't we all just playing in the snow?????

thanks for the pep talk!
That's Senator Al Franken!
