What an utterly feeble response. Earlier in the thread, I got similiar abuse for daring to post a contrary point of view to the majority. It amuses me that for a group of people who like to see themselves as individualists, free-spirits, and iconoclasts, anyone who dares to express an opinion that demands a bit of self-analysis and swimming against the tide is instantly insulted. Pathetic. Turns out the majority on this board -- like Guick -- are just as much a bunch of sheep as everyone else out there; just fell running sheep instead.

Two things struck me further as this episode has unwound. First, the partner with whom I would have run OMM until injury caused me to drop out went ahead with a new partner. Just for the sake of provenance, between them they have BGRs and Mountain Trial's galore. Their view was that a). the OMM should never have been started, and b). once it was started, there was absolutely no reason to call it off. Not saying
they are right or wrong...simply that there is a debate to be had with informed viewpoints on ALL sides.

Secondly, while the likes of Guick Dotto are mouthing off and insulting people who don't agree with them, I note that the viewpoints of people whose opinion I would actually respect, and who are the most qualified to speak here are keeping their own counsel (Yiannis, John Fleetwood, etc.) No surprise there. Go stick your head underwater, Guick.
