PM sent to you and him.

I stopped caring about that site when some shithead called me a coward and they wouldn't let me retaliate. My post (very politely worded, BTW) got pulled, his accusation of cowardice remains. Fuck 'em.

in case some of you didn't notice:

all you epic fags ruined this site.

That's exactly how it works over there. Buncha scared, stupid sheep who like to read ten page threads about senseless 'technique' for skiing flat groomers--and they still suck at skiing those flat groomers.
It's a joke. Highway Star is actually a welcome relief for them.

What he said.

That was way too easy.

Gonzostrike/Uncle Crud. He posts here now, but not nearly as much or with as much emotion as he used to. We were told that he threatened legal action against admins at epic, both personally and as a unit, and that he threatened to sue if his name was even mentioned there. Thus, the ban and the gestapo attitude toward mentioning him. He's a lawyer, and an extremely good one from what I've been told. (Care to chime in gonz?)

edit: Rasputin is right, this could be wrong. Paging gonz, please tell us the real story of what happened.

I've always liked him, as he was never afraid to call people out for faulty logic or shitty inferences. Yeah, sometimes it was over the top, but we can all be guilty of that.

Yeah, venus=bonni. He was the first to help her when she crashed and broke her leg.

Yo DD thanks for the props. Not sure I'm a great lawyer, might want to ask some of the people I've worked with. Who knows. But I can say for sure I'm a better lawyer and speaker of the truth than the Epic Ski Nanny Patrol.

Here's the deal on what happened. This will surely open up some peoples' will to flame me but fuck them if that's their sincere wish. I'd ask any of them to do me the courtesy of meeting me in person before they continue in such pussy-ass tactics. On with the show...

About a year ago I was in a pretty rough depression. There was a poster over there named FRAU who was finishing her residency for her MD licensure. She asked me some Qs in a PM about my mental health. I shared some info on the strict limitation that it was for health related assistance. The PM exchange got increasingly bizarre with her attention drifting away from medical assistance and toward a personal romantic angle, which I wasn't looking for and wasn't encouraging... I'd never met her and was interested only the medical stuff. I asked her repeatedly to cut back to the medical discussion and she wouldn't. So I simply stopped the PM exchange.

Anyway she kept pestering me so I called her on it through some situation in a regular thread discussion where she started hinting at some loony romantic stuff. She got embarrassed, I suppose, and spoke up about my mental health issues, talking about stuff that I said was personal and revealed only in confidence. I blasted back at her and in the process got pitched from EpicSki for being too blunt/brash/abrasive/honest/direct/whatever.

After I was pitched she continued to post more shit about the mental health issues and in addition started posting purely defamatory stuff. I politely sent emails to the EpicSki owners asking them to stop her, reminding her of the obligation to keep confidential information as such. Also I told them she was defaming me and that was improper too. The EpicSki Nannies, who were so quick to bounce me, said they couldn't do anything about it.

My response was to tell them that as publishers of her defamatory statements and invasions of privacy, they were as guilty as she unless they did something about it. They said they wouldn't, so I told them that if they really thought I was kidding about this, that if need be I would sue them for their role in the privacy invasion and defamation.

The threat was limited to FRAU discussing me and my health. That's all.

EpicSki's "in house lawyer," a meek timid cat named Dwight Cramer, is the one who misread what I told them. Whether he did so intentionally or not, I don't know. I do know that he's not accurately conveying what I told them.

++++++++++++++++++++

Whether any of y'all wanna call this a "drama queen" scene -- hey, if that's how you see such stuff, and if that's how cavalierly you treat mental health issues, honestly, I pity your immature outlook, and I can only hope that you never have to wrestle with serious mental health problems.

++++++++++++++++++++

As to EpicSki, they have some rather obvious problems, the biggest of which is the 'fraidy-cat perspective that won't let anyone post in any tone or use any language that isn't "Christian". And by "Christian" I mean that phony false-front fake politeness of people like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. You can belittle anyone you like as long as you use phrases that your Sunday School Teacher would use when reprimanding a wayward young proto-Christian.

Yeah, they get way into technique nuance. Yeah, that's really boring to someone who is a top skier with a strong ski racing background like Gordy Peifer. Maybe it's boring to others as well. Me, personally? I'm humble enough to know I can always improve as a skier, and so I'm always trying to look at my skiing to improve it. That might be really boring to some of the Maggots. But it makes me wonder how many Maggots who constantly deride technique discussions really are at the very top of their game, and how many of them are covering up for lame skiing by mocking those who want to improve. Look, there's shitbird poseurs on TGR just like there are asswipe paternalist jagoffs at EpicSki.

This place has better policies regarding moderation, and the discussions here are more interesting and always a lot funnier than anything at EpicSki. But that doesn't mean EpicSki is totally without value. There are some good discussions over there sometimes. They just get a little boring with all that starched-shirt "Christian" attitude that's running the place.

[RootSkier]

Soooooo....did you give it to Frau in the poopenhausen, or what?

[uncle crud]

No, but if you are renting your dick out like a stunt cock, I'll contact her to see if she'd take you on in stud service.

[Wild4umlauts]

UC - I was totally pissed when you got banned from Epic (I post under a different screen name over there). They need to make room for more people who shoot "straight" without so much "namby pamby" I don't want to hurt your feelings crap.

Anyhow, I wouldn't want TGR to ever be like Epic and I don't want Epic to be like TGR - there's room for both in this world.

[LeeLau]

UC - I'm glad you're still out there and kicking. Really hope to ride bikes with you sometime.

[Viva]

Gonzo, never knew you were in such a downward sprial. Been there myself and it thoroughly sucks. I'm happy to hear that you're doing okay now.

Still buildn' bikes?

[Nobody Famous]

Anyhow, I wouldn't want TGR to ever be like Epic and I don't want Epic to be like TGR - there's room for both in this world.

So true.

[GoldMember]

UC- Interesting story. I assume since she contacted you under the guise of dispensing medical advice that doctor/patient privilege would be attached? Seems like Epic's lawyer would have seen that coming and cleared out those posts. Pretty lame actions on their part. Glad you're better.

[ddsnake]

all you epic fags ruined this site.

Exactly , this place has turned into an Epic dorkfest.

Yep, that privilege would have attached and did attach as far as I was concerned.

That was one of the main reasons I was so pissed that she revealed the stuff -- I told it to her because of that privilege's assumed security.

One of the things I told her after she revealed the info was that she ought to be barred from MD licensing if she couldn't honor that privilege. That's probably what sent her off her rocker and made her start into the defamatory stuff.

Thanks for the well wishes. It was a truly shitty time in a truly shitty headspace but it's good to be back among the living & functioning.

+++++++++++++

Viva -- Thank you, too, for the well wishes. Nope, I quit the frame gig. That was a contributor to the depression, the business attempt. It sucked to learn that I couldn't succeed at something that I felt so passionately about, mainly because I don't have much of a mind for the business-oriented / entrepreneurship side of being my own boss in that arena. I'm working for myself as a lawyer and writer right now, it's going pretty well.

[Venus Flytrap]

what the fuck is up with Epic's ghey shit? they have a fucking points system for infractions? who the fuck thought that up and what are the damned details? how many piece of shit points would this horse shit post get me at that fucking asshat site?

No points, immediate banning for being YOURSELF.

[snapshot]

Amongst the long bullshit threads at Epic, there use to be some good info to be found, especially for those of us who aren't fortunate enough to ski 50 days in a season. Then there was Gonz, & a few others, who made the Epic sight a lot more interesting place to visit.
I was injured last year, stayed away for a some time, & returned to find one very boring Forum. Sorry, thats just mho.

[cloudpeak]

Is this the scintillating repartee many of you pine for?

Posted today to L7:

I see you're still the pus-dribbling whorecunt you always were. Nice move!

Oh, and that "asshat" comment? How very creative. More proof of the continued infected gash attitude.

UC Attacks powderchick and L7

I wonder how UC would represent this exchange. "Oh, they were Soooooo mean to me over on the fly fishing thread, especially powderchick. She was like stalking me, man."

You know, you're still a rancid cunt. Even though you try to sugar coat that pussy with liberal claptrap, it still reeks of weeks-dead fish. And yes, I know that the EpicSki folks are over here visiting. Like you. Still thinking the world is all sweetness and light, still superficially friendly while behind the scenes they are cunts and dickheads. I guess it really sucks for you to deal with someone like me, who throws mean shit at you on the internet while I would be the first person to help you out in real life. It's just not something you can compute with your tiny NPR brain, is it Peaky? Say hi to that femme husband Joel, eh? Tell him to rip off that skirt and grow a fucking spine.

That was all just for you, Little Miss Cloudpeak. I'm sure it's what you wanted. Happy to oblige, as always. And yes, I hope you go "tattle" on me to the EpicSki Nanny Patrol. I'm sure they'll be eager to send me emails reminding me what a mean person I am on the internet.

[doublediamond223]

WTF gonz, is that really necessary? Yeah the "starched shirt" attitude is why I spend more time over here now, but that is beyond the usual TGR bullshit.

[doublediamond223]

Exactly , this place has turned into an Epic dorkfest.

Don't read the damned thread then, for fuck's sake. It says [gap] EPIC right on top, it's pretty obvious. Keep whining about it, it accomplishes a lot.

[bklyn]

I'm not missing this crap at all.

[RootSkier]

Wow, you seem like a real cheery chap.
