oh... i see what you mean. i didn't mean it like that. i meant happy ending in the terms of the dead sherpa's families getting the money, duh. i mean its a sad story, but at least the ENDING can be happy. i mean come on, i obviously am not like, rooting for dead sherpas. i care enough to actually have read a story about the sherpa strike in the first place.

edit: i didn't realize that was a big story! thats a lot of dead people. anyway i thought it was a sufficiently unrelated anecdote, maybe i should watch the news so i know what is actually news and what is me clicking randomly.

I'm pretty sure that his post says that while the deaths of the Sherpas is a tragedy, at least it seems that the exposure of the conditions they've endured at the behest of tourists might bring about much needed social change, thus the silver lining. As a family man I am not offended.

oh no, the silver lining was totally about how EVEN IF there was a happy ending to the sherpa story, there would never be one in HD, which once again reinforces how unrealistic HD is (see, the silver lining for etta... forget it, i should have stopped posting a while ago). anyway, that is the silver lining. no silver lining for the sherpas. except maybe that thing you said, but i wasn't getting at that. i really wasn't that informed on that sherpa story, i just thought it was cool they were striking for money for the familys of the dead sherpas. they should get more money.

The real crazy part of that story is how much private companies make from selling individuals those Everest packages and how much the sherpas actually make taking those people to the top (not to mention bringing down the vast majority that can't make it). They should have gone on strike a long long time ago.

hahaha, thanks billy, even I surprise myself from time to time.

Just throwing it out there, but during the previously mentioned thread on pages 4 through 11, nobody cussed at or threatened to report etta...dac did swear, however the only user to cuss directly at another coach on the boards was etta (the proof is on page 10 of the previously mention thread).

This is a lie. I did not curse at all on the board. 

And both dac and gillispie used profanity in posts more than once. Whether directly at someone or not is immaterial unless you can cite some distinction of that sort in the rules. It's also easily arguable that the use of profanity was intended to provoke a response, given dac's stated desire to see me banned. 

In short, jerk veterans are being jerk veterans again, and then trying to absolve themselves of responsibility by closing ranks as seen in the above post.

You want to ban me, go ahead. I really don't care, I'm out of here in a matter of days I would imagine. But it would be an incredible act of hypocrisy and favor-playing to ban me and not ban the other two. 
"Maybe you're not as smart as you play yourself up to be."

ok, i may be guilty of mentally adding an S in there somewhere... i could have swore you called us smart ases. not that i cared. anyway, i am at least 20% sure i did not swear until AFTER you complained about it, as some sort of reverse mental block. except those stupid swears that you count that nobody else counts. whats up with those? anyway, my gut tells me theres got to be an exception in the rules somewhere for that... 

but can we get back to the point of how ridiculous it is to complain about swearing on a board THAT TURNS IT INTO *********, when you are a guy who was supposedly in the armed forces?? and after that... how bout you post them recruiting histories you are complaining about making no sense, lol. demanding specifics and won't even say what he did....

the crazy part of that story is that suddenly america cares enough to turn non-americans dying into a news story. i had no idea it was on broadcast news and stuff. shocking.

seems odd to me that this thread includes a debate about whether various people cursed.  Quoting what was said is the way to answer that question.  Is there a reason there is doubt about what was posted?  Maybe I am not following this fascinating soap opera closely enough.

agreed, unless the fascination with mount everest wasn't wrapped up in it I don't think this would be a story.

Hypothesis: Billy G. and Etta are the same person.

Reasoning: Billy G. wants to get around the rule about multiple teams in the same world.  What better way than to create an ID and then argue vociferously with it?  It would also explain the mutual fascination that the two seem to have with each other.

Degree to which I am convinced that this is true: 7.4 on a scale of 10, where 10 is absolutely convinced.

We now return you to the official topic of this discussion, which has segued from "Who cursed? to "Those poor Sherpas..."

hmm, my only team is on break, so arguing with myself for like, 2 hours, would seem like a good waste of my time. but if you look at the rate of posting in the heat of that other thread, there was no possible way, even as a very fast typer, i could have played both sides. unless i pre-typed everything i guess, but good lord, im not that bored!

Billy - there are medications for your condition, although I saw a commercial for one of them that says you can't take it if you eat grapefruit.  So this might make for a difficult choice for you, depending on how much you like citrus.
