Ah yes, sorry, I guess I thought that part was a given so I forgot about that point I made. Really, I had assumed/hoped that was just hyperbole on your part. That you actually think that this forum does not have plenty of good faith posting, and in fact stated that it has zero is...something else.

LOL, this is awesome. Now my musings about why I reply to you are also bad faith. But then, everything in this forum is apparently, so there's no longer a need for you to point this out.

Welp, I'd say Cuepee is here now:



And so I guess I'll try that holiday with jjjou. Any beer left?



The History of Byzantium is my current go-to for this. Yes, I'm a big nerd. LDO.

Please, hurry up and do it.

I never replied to Toothsayer's garbage because I wanted to engage in his gaslighting and lies after the fact. I engaged with it so I could contrast his garbage with facts, truths and accuracy.

The sooner we get to that, without you guys then responding with garbage that clutters up my reply, the better.

Its funny how bad his read of Tooth is.

A new poster turned up in BFI making universally agreed upon terrible posts, as everyone wondered if this new poster is a second account speculation grew to who the original poster was.

Most popular guess was Toothsayer. RickRoll can corroborate.

So make posts everyone hates in BFI people will think you are Toothsayer, poster child for QPs wont be attacked in BFI,

Having interacted with TS its clear to me this new poster isnt TS, but just some passing derp who likes the lack of moderation in that forum.

The point is that TS is attacked in BFI without even posting in it.

Ya, he lost his safe space thread and he stopped posting.

But me using a clear example of how the EXACT same dynamic is mirrored in both sides and the only difference in what is called out as right or wrong, is political cloistering and sides, is me having a number done on me.

For instance it would be a much more obvious argument I was putting forth if I never pointed out the comparison and people could then just deny what I am saying does not exist. lol.

the "dynamic" is you guys continue to argue using the same EXACT arguments they used in the BFI and are oblivious to it.

bahbah cannot be correct and right there saying the same words and wrong and an idiot when he posts here using the same words. The support he gets and the attacks others get who confront cannot be 'right' over there and 'wrong' over here.

You deep thinkers here do not want to consider what that then means and what it is speaking to and instead you would just rather hand wave it away as 'of course those guys in the BFI are all just wrong and we over here are just right'. And meaning while they in the BFI hand wave it away saying the exact same thing.

hmmmmmmm

And?

I point out my intent is to engage "so I could contrast his garbage with facts, truths and accuracy."


But in a separate post i acknowledge that when dealing with someone who is only trolling and thus is not trying to really make any point or engage honsetly then "As soon as i feel they are mocking or gaslighting then I just switch to doing same".


And i stand by that.

people say garbage things or wrong things and I will contrast that with truth, facts and accuracy.

People play troll games for trolling sake then I will give them back same.


Only to uke is that a "hmmmmmm"? moment as he never engages earnestly.

Going out for an eight-mile hike now.

nice! Still in maintenance running phase right now, proper half marathon training just a couple weeks out.

Good to get away from all the gaslighting and revenge gaslighting and gaslighting about whether one gaslights

Bobo, just grab one from the cooler.

Going out for a thirty-foot hike to the fridge. After I catch my breath, I'll hike back to my couch.

Damn! I'm only doing 2-3 per day; you're making me feel like the lazy guy that I am. That must be a 2 hour+ commitment. Well done!

Awesome! It's been about 10-15 years since I last ran (more like slowly jogged) one. I was actually trying to build up to a full marathon, but couldn't get past about 2/3 without a whole lot of leg cramping. Might try again one of these days. SO much easier to stop a regular routine than it is to start again, though. At least for me.

Oh, I've been shown the light on how to do this without leaving my computer. Of course getting out of the house is still the best and healthiest way.

Thanks! Sure is peaceful here.

It's a start!

Eight miles is a walk, not a hike.

He identifies it as a hike.

That sounds like fitness snobbery.

And even if we accepted that (which I don't), we don't know the terrain.

The most exercise I get these days is from jumping to conclusions.

Exactly. I've always thought of a hike as more of an "off road" thing, like a hike through a forest, which may or may not have been what Trolly was referring to. But if you're covering 8 miles, I say call it whatever you damn well please - stroll, walk, hike, march, whatever!

Hike shaming in this thread.

I’m indoctrinating my kid with woke terminology every time we walk in the forest for a few km and I call it a hike.

I actually agree - I was just curious to what degree partisan posters would bite on a non-partisan issue

Fwiw my personal distinction between a walk and a hike is if you need to take a backpack. I did a 15 mile hike at the weekend, and it's always prudent to take a few essentials over longer distances (water, plasters, ibuprofen, sanitiser, etc)

England much better for walks because ancient footpaths right of way basically everywhere etc, no one is going to shoot you for being on private property (well probably not).

USA much better for hikes, because actual wilderness and some huuuge national parks.

I never cared about the definition, but I consider it a hike when there is some elevation change. I 'hike' quite a bit and some of them are only like 2 miles. Even if its a short walk I'm bringing water with me.

Do you think people shouldn't have a right to express their dislike about something? Why are you trying to silence people?

6 miles takes me a little over an hour and I walk that most days in a singular outing as a minimum, outside days I am instead out cycling or doing another activity. It is about 11,000 steps according to my app.

I often accumulate across the entire day about 15,000 steps and on a busy day 30,000 steps which is about 3 hours of accumulated walking.

I will walk anywhere generally within 1 hour in any direction rather than drive if I have the time I can slot in.

I definitely judge it via terrain more than distance. I walk in the city. I hike on trails and in the mountains, etc.

I go hiking in the mountains here on the weekends and am not out always longer or for more distance than my walks.

This is my typical evening walk which takes me just over an hour to do. I walk much faster than google predicted speeds and times.
