New Count Down

I personally have become disappointed with the people on these forums. Ive come on here now because i love mammoth more than anything and skiing is hands down my favorite sport/hobby. However, once one person comes on here and solely states his opinion and gets BASHED by the "mob" that is all you regulars on here i draw the line. This is not the first case either, someone stating their opinions or making a mistake because they're new to this thread doesn't warrant a "YOU'RE IN THE WRONG THREAD " towards people. As to those saying "retard" is offensive, i agree it is offensive and i try to avoid using it but there are tons of inappropriate comments made on here and go unnoticed. I'm appalled when i come on here and someone asks "how much snow are we going to get?" and when you can see their post count is 1 and havent been on here before, and to get a response "LOOK AT THE SOCAL SEPTEMBER STORMSSSS " pisses me off. It would be great just to see everyone talk about their favorite memories of mammoth, or that beautiful blob 2 weeks out we all hope would dump 4 feet, but everyone is quick to jump on an opportunity to prove someone's wrong. As to the current lack of snow(i hope i dont get yelled at for posting this on the winter activities thread) its only november 2nd. it's always darkest before dawn, there's a nice cold storm somewhere out there forming for us that will open another Mammoth season as usual.

well if someone is politely directing them to read a thread i personally don't see anything wrong with that but what is bad is when someone says something like "duh everyone knows mammoth blah blah blah," then "read that other thread dummy!" is when the line is crossed.

I don't think it is polite to direct someone to another thread. One way to look at it is, that the person(s) doing the directing might be percieved as a self proclaimed Know-it-all and it using a new poster to proove it. I do think the poster above has some valid points and I am as guilty as anyone else, well maybe not AS guilty as I take a pretty good beating on here, but there is some validity to what they say.

Before I begin my sermon I would just like to remind the congregation of my unfailing perfection and humility.

That's kind of true, but there are a few exeptions i think... you kind of made me look at that in a different way.
