It is ridiculous. In fact it's so ridiculous, I'm wondering if the genesis of this post was fabricated for the purpose of observing our reaction.

In the interest of beating a dead horse:

If you encountered rapids that were unexpected, especially "sketchy" unexpected rapids, they you need to figure some $hit out before you saddle up.

As for attempting to file charges: that's ridiculous. Really, really silly stuff here.

In the interest of my own well being, I hope I don't encounter you on the river until you realize that what goes on is almost always a direct result of your actions.

Now now, you were over the top... and you have pages of good responses... and what post did you choose to respond to and how did you choose to respond? I think you are demonstrating your personality too well for your own good.



But, I am guessing you will continue on in your own reality where you are 100% right and everyone else on the river is wrong...

First off, to everyone here, I will admit that I underestimated the river at the level that it was running and I was confident in my abilities to run it in spite of the high water and such. I trusted everyone in my party to help each other out. The responses I'm seeing here sets in stone that people here have no heart whatsoever and could give a rats ass of lives on the river.

No, you have warped expectations.

Here is what is supposed to happen when you get into trouble:
1. Self-rescue
2. If holding your boat is endangering you, ditch it. Your buddies will get it if they can.
3. If holding your paddle is endangering you, ditch it. Your buddies will get it if they can.
4. If you are still in danger, then your buddies should be focused on helping you instead of your gear.

Here is what you expected:
1. SAVE ME RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!1111!!ONEONEONE!!!!!
2. YOU DIDN'T BABYSIT ME! I'M GOING TO HAVE YOU ARRESTED!!!!!

Now, your "friends" were not "friendly." You should find better friends, but you will have a lot of trouble doing that with your attitude problem.

The other guy didn't know you, so he was suspicious of your over the top story. Your story was over-the-top because of your reaction. I don't think you made it up. I never said you did. You are just an over-the-top reaction type of person as evidenced by your conduct in this thread.

PS I have the right to say whatever I please. Deal with it.

PPS You can get all angry at me because your "friends" aren't around to face your fury, but it really isn't going to help your situation. In fact, the only thing that is going to help your situation is for you to step back consider, and adjust your perspective on this whole thing.

Which is what I did and I have no problem with doing that.

Summit, people like YOU have the attitude problem!!!
