In general I'm a pretty easy going guy...but I do like to play devil's advocate. The most fun I've had on this site was the debate we had last spring/summer over the ASC type discount pass approach vs the premium pass pricing approach...really enjoyed the banter with JimG. As someone said, the debate helps keep you sharp.

Thanks powhound...I enjoyed that thread too.

I wish I had the time to get as into it this year but work has kept me really busy.

But all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy...work now and play when the snow flies.

To some... I'm a pot stirrin' ass... And personally I could care less....

To others.. I'm kind... Shirt off my back kinda stuff...

I just have a low tolerance for some stuff people say... And tend to step in when I hear something i believe is completely incorrect or stupid....

I've pretty much given up the political rants... Debating and arguing really does nothing... and solves nothing. and is nauseatingly circular....

Plus it opens up the possibility of downright hurtful behavior... :(

Totally agree.

But, you gotta admit a few of the political arguments some of used to engage in on Kzone were pretty entertaining at times.

It all becomes totally circular, as you said. People start attacking the messenger instead of the message. you get it in your head that someone is pre-disposed to think in one way and then its just a free for all of name calling and personal insults. Not that i was innocent of any of that but it became beyond stupid.

yeah... it was enjoyable until Shitski came after me and started altering my posts as a moderator...

Maybe, but I never really start up with anyone. If someone starts with me I defend my turf. Then when it’s over it’s over.

I like threads like this cause they can lead to interesting discussions.

Yesterday I started two roll call threads, a ski sticker and a season pass just cause I thought the forum was kinda slow. People like to respond to roll calls, but can you tell me anyone’s sticker or season pass if you didn’t already know it?

That said on here I guess I am what you perceive me to be. I’ve kinda perceived you as a GSS want-to-be. Although why anyone would want to be like him is beyond me.;-)

Uh, Paul's sense of humor is quite a bit different from GSS's. And I'm not saying GSS's is bad, espcially after he donated to my PMC ride, I just don't share GSS's sense of humor, but I do share Paul's.
