[at-l] the new trailplace...

[David Addleton]

TrailPlace was the first place I found and joined when I started hiking
again. I met some neat people there, among them Orangebug. While discussing
things, its owner's intolerance to views other than his became apparent. I
watched as he excommunicated a number of people. I left before he could boot
me, losing an opportunity for that particular badge of honor which many here
earned the hard way.
Meanwhile, I guess that parapackers must enjoy something of the same
ontology as leprechauns . . .

I did go over there and sign up, mainly to watch and wait and see what
happens . . . when the urge happens to strike . . .

Is it ok to step on parapackers the way I step on cockroaches?
