i just paged through the tgr thread.
My thoughts are: who gives a damn. Post and read where you like. epic seems to be a better tech forum and tgr seems to be a better big mountain forum discussing terrain more than technique. Who cares? i dont, i want to start posting on both since im into both, groomers and techniqeue and skiing big mountain and finding better terrain. not to sound like a hippy, but why cant we all just get along, or leave eachother the hell alone.
As far as the personal attacks, i hate my neighbor here at school, so i avoid him, i dont go looking for a fight or even a conversation.
these are forums, posted on by humans, we are not always right, and not always wrong. I take EVERY post with a grain of salt. No one has all the facts.
as far as the sale forums: since epic and tgr are not affialiated with the seller or buyer. So tell the members to think and do research before buying. If someone wants to sell me some AT bindings for a sick price ill look at their posts. If i get screwed its my problem. And if the 20 post rule stays in place, fine, then those with fewer than 20 posts cant sell their gear here, theres tons of other places to sell it.
