Tell me, Scotty: why won't you agree to meet at a police station, again?

Because it is one of the craziest ideas I have ever heard. *Insane.
Get help.

Dude - this is your BIG CHANCE!!! *Why won't you go meet him? *I mean,
he's willing to come right to Seattle - it should be like no problem
at all for you. *It's almost as if you really *don't* want to see
him. *Why? *What safer place can you get than a police station?

DUDE!!!! Why don't YOU show up. You're just an asshole, not a
deranged mentally ill asshole. And a dickless coward manipulating a
mentally ill asshole.
How pathetic. How ridiculous. None of you have ever shown up. None
of you ever will.
One thing for su it would be easy for one of you to show up. No
surprise why. I'm sure you don't want to see me, and I'm sure you
don't have the balls.
How disgusting. Another pathological liar and dickless coward trying
to take advantage of the mentally ill.

Just to remind you, "Mr Anythyme Anywear," you are the one too gutless
to meet Alan at the POLICE STATION, surrounded by police officers, in
your own hometown. Dude, please, just don't answer him, watching you
humiliate yourself like this again is very... unbecoming.

You schooled me? They teach lift and trust in elementary school nowadays.
Do you think you'll ever ski well enough to advance from your entry level

Yup. You're one of those fools who thinks that an aircraft flies without
deflecting air downwards, and I schooled you.

They teach lift and trust in elementary school nowadays.

What has that to do with aerodynamics?

I already do. I would have simply taken the Level II right off the bat,
but the CSIA no longer allows that.

Have fun,
IS

At this point in the year, any skiing would be great skiing. Looks
like a late start for the PNW. Nothing on the ground at Whistler,
either, or Sun Valley, too warm most of the last couple weeks to make
snow.

Just another thing for you to be wrong about...

http://www.whistlerblackcomb.com/weather/gallery/index.htm

http://www.whistlerblackcomb.com/weather/snowreport/index.htm

...but you should be used to being wrong by now.

Yeah, OK there is *something* on the ground -- a solid 12" --
probably at Whistler Peak. Maybe not nothing in the strict sense but
in the "I want to go skiing" sense, it is as good as.

Nope. There's 12" at mid-mountain.

"Snow depths are measured at Pig Alley Weather Station - 1650m
(Mid-Mountain) on Whistler Mtn."

For reference. Whistler Village base is 675 metres and Whistler peak
elevation is 2205 metres. Summing and dividing by two, you get 1440
metres, so they're pretty reasonable on the "mid-mountain" designation.




Yes, I see that now, sorry for missing it.

Had he phrased it as "Nothing on the ground at Whistler Village" would
you still have jumped all over it? If you had phrased your response as

No, of course not.

"there is 12" on the ground" would you have been surprised if he
jumped all over that by suggesting that there was nothing on the
ground at the villageat that point (since it is 3C there right now, I
suspect that therestill isn't much if anything on the ground there
even with "snowline reaching the village earlier toda. But maybe it is
a sign of good things to come.) or that 12 " is only a point estimate
and there may be actually more or less as an average across the eitire
mountain? Would you have been annoyed if your lack of precision
precipitated a big hairy response about how wrong you were?

My reply wasn't imprecise. There is snow on the ground at Whistler. We
don't ski in the village and there are lots of times where we ski on the
mountain when there is no snow in the village.


So, with all the other things to pick at or even rage abou tin this
NG, I still feel that this seems quite a small nit that you chose to
pick so ostentatiously. I suspect that were someone else to say the
same thing that you might engage them in some discussion about the
state of the snow pack, present, past or future at Whitsler/Blackcomb
or beyond. I would not expect that in this case for lots of reasons
but your response is simply tedious in my estimation since I managed
to suss out his meaning ndespite the ambiguities that are present in
both your post and his.

I just don't care much for Scottie's blowhard style, so I showed him
up...

...again.


Saying "Whistler" has or does not have something is a bit ambiguous
anyway and you just wanted to jump on it. Cool, but pretending that
you are right and managed to catch someone out on something that is
arguably actually true is sort of silly and probably beneath decent
conversation (not that I actually expect much of that here anyway).

We don't ski in the village.

Yes, I got that from the first time you said it and also from having
skied there on lots of occasions - not so many now since the inlaws
sold their condo despite my pleadings and protestations.

(although to be fair, I have actually skied in the village so...
maybe a more precise statement would be in order? Maybe something
like, "most skiers normally prefer not to ski in the village" would
work better? Or maybe just a more precise definition of "we" since in
this context it appears that you might mean me which is not actually
accurate - though I did manage to (again) suss out the meaning. I know
that precision is one of your hallmarks.)

But, you might recall that he did not say that there was no snow at
mid mountain or that there was no snow "where we ski", he said that
there was no snow at Whistler, to paraphrase. Isn't "Whistler"
inclusive of the Village? your statement that there is snow on the
ground at Whistler is (was) true but so is (was?) his statement that
there was not snow on the ground - for some values of "Whistler" (and
leaving aside my previous assertion that can be easily understood in
the context of skiers and skiing that 12" on the ground anywhere might
as well be naught). Your statement, or at least your impication that
there is snow on the ground at Whistler is (was) also both correct and
incorrect for some values of "Whistler" unless Whistler Village is not
Whistler - but I think you can't make that assertion with a straight
face.

I don't care much for blowhard styles at all.

This conversation has already become tedious as your responses seem
wholely tendentious as have mine now. So, I'll just quit now and go
back to thinking about snow.

Please, back to your regularly scheduled NewsGrouping and please
pardon the interruption.

Dave M
(but the rain did stop)

His statement was in the context of saying there'd be no skiing there.
For that to be true, he must be referring to the state things where the
skiing takes place.

What's more, he's accused me of stalking over and over. It is nothing
less than his civic *duty* to swear out a complaint!

Insane. Utterly insane. Typical stalker rationalizations. Get help,
freak. And go **** yourself.


For me and others, it's a safe place, but Scottie doesn't want the
K-9 dogs around.
