Okay, I see your point about the hung-over hiker story. It wasn't the essence of the Merc story, but it was the sole example in my post, so that wasn't ideal. It did stand out for me though, because it struck me as so absurd.Aimless wrote: ↑April 15th, 2018, 10:20 amI must say that Chip's summary of the article was entirely misleading and unfair, and his sarcasm was misplaced in my view.
As an example, the hungover hike Chip highlighted happened about one decade ago and was used as the lead-in because it provided such a stark contrast to how that hiker thinks, and what she does NOW
I didn't think my very-brief sarcasm was all that awful. I mean, in the rest of my post I did raise some genuine questions, so it's not as if my primary reason in posting was to snicker at Jenny (Hangover Hiker.)
Yikes! Sorry if anybody read my post wrong. I would never refer to somebody as a fat queer hiker, unless they identified as such (which they did in this case).
