You're confusing me with Trekchick. Prod this bear enough and eventually, I'm going to bite. Doesn't mean I don't like you. Just irritated.

no - I knew who I was talking to...

Bears usually just walk away and hide when you f with them... Unless they are defending..

I don't seek out flame wars. I have enough drama in real life--don't need more of it online. There's just something about the methods that's rubbing me the wrong way.

So focus on resolving the real world drama and stop worrying about Andy's "evil memeber poaching tactics".

HDP you really are a nice guy. IMO the mods dont deserve your hospitality. Well More to the point. Sev, p-vert, and Sally. I would like to see them up here though for my own selfish reasons.

And what would your selfish reasons be? Quite frankly TJ, you're far from the most friendly person and you don't exactly make me want to come to Whiteface to ski with you. The last time I was hoping to get up there, I left you a voicemail to let you know I had to bail cuz my daughter was sick. Might have been nice to call me back to let me know you at least got the message, and maybe ask how she was, but I shouldn't expect anything like that from someone like you. I'll probably get up there someday and maybe I'll ask HPD to show me around.

Sev - let it go.

If Andy wants to promote his site and gain membership, sure, put ONE link in your siggy and have at it. The list whenever the opportunity seems to remotely present itself? Overkill. Annoying. And the fact that the whole idea was mentioned in a thread to increase membership just seems fishy. Sorry that you guys don't see it that way... Regardless, that doesn't invalidate my point of view. I doubt I'm the only one who read it this way.

We need snow...

The fact that it came out of a thread about increasing membership means nothing. It was not Andy's idea and he didn't post it here. Would you have actually felt differently if it was posted in a different thread? That is just silly.

As far as listing the links, Andy does so only when Greg refers to the site as andyzone. Personally I don't blame him. If someone is interested in visiting the site, whether hearing about it here or elsewhere, he doesn't want someone searching for andyzone, because they will never find it. Many sites have been mentioned here by you and others, and it seems you are holding Andy to a different standard.

Perhaps you don't seek out flame wars, maybe you just see the worst in people. I don't know, but anytime there is a flame war you are front and center. And in this case, you essentially started one. This was a fun idea that people were joking about and discussing light heartedly until you introduced the controversy.

I think it's a woman thing---hard for them to do.

I am certain HPD will show you around he is nice like that, me not so much.



You posted a trip report from Sugarbush the next day. Using your you daughters illness as an excuse seems a bit fishy to me... That's OK though I did have fun skiing with others that came.

The way I see you treat people in here who used to be or are your friends shows your true colors.

I propose Ragged Mountain as the competition site......for my own selfish reasons of them having to actually develop a bump program. ;)

Actually, it was from Okemo that Sunday. My daughter was better by then and my wife insisted I ski Sunday since I missed skiing Whiteface that Friday. Nice try though.

True colors. Okay.

great woman you have there. my wife's pretty good too but she doesn't get my obsession with skiing (and other things). If i miss a day due to unforeseen circumstances... well, then i missed a day for unforeseen circumstances.

probably part of the unwritten rules of trade-offs between the two of us as she's a non-skier.

I'm still trying to figure this out. 99.9% of the people on Andy's site post here. Isn't this like having the AlpineZone "Skiing and Snowboarding forum vs The Trip Report forum". It's all the same people?

What's douchey (and my apologies to 2knees as I know he's not the one who conceived this notion) is this ploy for increased membership. Don't believe me? That's where this concoction resides on Andy's site.

It's one thing to say, "hey, let's bury the hatchet and have a little fun!" It's another to think devise a ski-off simply to attempt to siphon traffic from another site. :rolleyes:

Andy--Sometimes you're a really cool guy... but really. This is getting old.

I posted it, not andy. It was HPD's idea, not Andy's. I thought it would, at the very least, make for an interesting thread.

and i explicitely stated that there were to be no comparisons to a ski off!!!!! NO SOUP FOR YOU!

still love ya though.
