BC Etiquette

I am not sure what driving has to do with BC etiquette. This thread seems to have become a useless joke when it could have been helpful to some of the newer folk’s out there or at least useful exchange of ideas from those with more experience.

Please move it to the spray section of cc.com.

I wrote that myself when driving  first came up, however threads have a life of their own and go where they go. If you don't like it, don't read it or start a "helpful" thread of your own or lobby to get the moderators to edit for content not just behaviour and then TAY will have become sanitized into irrevalance.
Threads ebb and flow between seriousness and humor and the laws of entropy demand that they eventually decay.
You can always bring them back by injecting your viewpoint as you have done so here.Bravo.

Well said Dave -- if folks really want to talk about driving, feel free to fire up another thread.  Brad's original post got a lot of good information before the derail, it'd be nice to pull it back on track.

For my part:

Don't ski in upslope of the people at the bottom of the pitch, swing in underneath them if there's space.

Practice regularly with your beacon.

Practice shoveling techniques with various partners/numbers, to make it more efficient when it counts.

Actually I think your points are more about safety or avalanche rescue rather than BC etiquette if you want to be pedantic so you should take your own advise Marcus and start an avalanche or safety thread.

Plus for the record, I object to moderators and adminstrators trying to control content rather than just behaviour. Thought police and you're definately the worst of the bunch in that regard.

Do you really think that's not clearly on the record already?

You can keep making this thread about driving if you want to (it's clear some folks are right there with you) -- I happen to agree with Dave and said so. Nobody's going to have anything deleted because it's not about BC etiquette, however you wish to define it. Feel free to PM me if you want to tell me how bad I am as a moderator.

i'm going to disagree with you there.  I believe it is incumbent upon the notion of etiquette to bring your game as best you can, and that includes being prepared for eventualities..

Scotsman,
I understand that and you do not have to defend yours yourself. From past experience, when voicing my opinion that is in disagreement with yours, it has resulted in an inappropriate PM from you. That said, I choose not to comment as much as a may have otherwise because you like to push other people buttons and dominate the content.

mmmmhhh...I'm kinda on the fence with that but a good point as indeed I did bring up the low battery and metal shovel as being part of etiquette so I'll concede on that.
