^^ show me the words of mine that inspired your meme shopping. When you slap down childish, sweeping disparaging statements as I had done, that is not done from taking offense. I am not offended, I assure. Rather, I’m educating where its obviously needed.
ok...didnt expect to go this far, but if i post something, i will certainly explain my reason for it
NPS means National Park Service, so you’re disparaging Park Rangers in National Parks who know what they’re doing.
you are accusing a member on here of
disparaging park rangers when nothing in his post even mentions park rangers. he specifically referred to a "government bureaucrat" indiscriminately applying this as a rule. so, by doing that, you appear to virtue signal by trying to rally troops and shame the poster by claiming he is against park rangers when he clearly is not. if you have to add all that to his post just to try and make him look unreasonable or unfavorable, then what are you really doing? he never mentioned park rangers, so you are essentially upset over something that you added in...that really ruins any chance of rest of your post being taken seriously and just makes what you say look like a personal attack, rather than an honest discussion.
I’m sure you appreciate the special distinction of these special, high use public areas.
well...why not further assume what he appreciates since most of your post is also assumptions.
They do require a high degree if management. These aren’t lonely BLM trails.
both are government owned land and both are subject to closure and high regulation
You can’t have stuck Crosstreks in high use, highly managed National Parks.
now YOU are disparaging Crosstreks, which must mean that you are against all their owners as well as the manufacturers, etc . i am being petty here, but that is how you twist things earlier
Folks can take their cheesy blackout flag draped ‘don’t tread on me’ attitude and get stuck somewhere outside the boundaries of Canyonlands, if that’ll satisfy their childish disdain for ‘rulz.’
not sure what "folks" you are lumping into this discussion now. definitely dont get what cheesy blackout flag you are referring to and what people are you referring to that need to "satisify their childish disdain for rulz"? now you are shaking your fist at another imaginary group that you conjured up out of thin air.
i read the post you are referring to and the member who posted it, bgenlvtex (bruce), has a long history of good posts that are insightful and generally very accurate. i appreciate people posting like that because it gives me the occasion to read other peoples thoughts and ideas and then reflect on something outside of my own head. thats how we grow intellectually. i dont like seeing that being attacked like it was because that will discourage good people from posting in the future.
you are a member on here, so i will gladly give you the assumption of being a good dude that means well but just had an off post. this is a public forum...so those people that call out other people can and will get called out themselves. fair is fair.
i'm all for righteous indignation...trust me, but we really need to direct that at the people who actually deserve it. lets try and stick together...we, as a society, are already way too divided...
