41n 93w, I admire your fortitude. I am not a drain-type person, and seeing your photos has reinforced that resolve. While I know I would never care to see it for myself, I'm unsure if I find those formations fascinating or horrifying.

dude don't start draining, stick to those awesome boulders and demo'd places. No one else covers those as well as you do.

I haven't met Rescueme, I don't talk to him, and heck, I barely bother to read what he has to say. That said, I have little to nothing to base an opinion of him one way or another, so don't get me wrong here; I am by no means sticking up for him or anyone else. I just can't be the only one bored to death of these types of comments.
Frankly, I was enjoying the respite from this kind of nonsense that this week has brought. We have plenty of dickwaving, grandstanding and bashing going on in the PSW as it is without another Region being heard from.
It's just so disappointing to see so many relevant threads go by the wayside unrecognized because everyone is so busy getting their drama fix and puffing up their egos by trying to flatten someone else.
Is that what we're all here for? I guess I'm doing it wrong if that's the case. I thought we were here to share our passion for the hobby, our interpretations of what exploration is to us through our stories and photos -- if not for their skillful capture of the beauty that is abandonment, but even just as evidence that we were there doing our thing. I thought we were here as members of a community, to support and encourage each other in this endeavor at the very least. Obviously, I am mistaken.
MonkeyPunchBaby, I apologize that you were the proverbial last straw because you're barely a blip on my Annoying Asshat Radar but it's this kind of petty, unnecessary needling of other members that really takes the shine away from what more productive members of this community are contributing.
Yes, this could have been a PM, but it seemed more appropriate for a broader audience. My apologies to anyone that disagrees.
TL;DR - I am so sick of this shit. Grow up.
