The stagnation of Caving: A brief essay

[paul]

You have already had a warning. This is a discussion Forum and users can discuss whatever issue to do with caving they wish to. If you do not agree with someone else's view, then by all means put forward an argument against it. Swearing, calling names or other personal attacks will never win that argument.

He's *trolling*, not arguing. He saw the initial argument went nowhere, and now he's trying to get us worked up. If you want rid of trolls you don't feed them (Others continue to) or you let them know, in no uncertain terms, that you know what they're up to.

Feel free to give me a holiday if you don't like my reasoning, but I'm not pandering to the troll.

Fundamentally it is hypocritical of Kenilworth to argue that caving should decrease and then continue to go caving.

Is it? Is it hypocritical to argue that irresponsible caving should decrease and then continue to go caving as responsibly as I can?

Sorry for the stir moderators, I knew a bit of argument would be inevitable but this mess wasn't my aim.

Say no to the bad caving.

The fact that you posted this is enough proof that anyone should need to see you're a troll. Go away and bother another forum, you've been rumbled.

Consider this a report.

but this mess wasn't my aim.

You Have done nothing to steer the conversation away from "this Mess", all you've done is turn on autopilot and lane control, and effectively hands free let us run into this car crash!

Come on and Steer!



What Exactly Was your aim?

Yet again (and in an ironic turnaround from stances in previous 'conservation-related' discussions) I find myself entirely agreeing with NewStuff.

Kenilworth is an attention-seeker. He posts to get responses. If done maliciously this it 'trolling'.

it may be that Kenilworth genuinely wishes to propose a philosophy on conservation. If this is so, he's chosen a very convoluted and dense (as in Mervyn Peake 'dense') way of doing it.

More is less in a discussion like this.

[admin]No, this won't be considered a report. Please, as Paul quite rightly asks click on "Report to Moderator" and let the Moderators deal with it etc.

However I will be locking this thread to allow it to cool down. Kenilworth - if you wish to continue making your points, please do so in a more succinct manner and not in a way that could be considered as 'trolling', thank you[/admin]
