Camping Swanking - June 28 - July 3

Apparently it was the bookstore thread. I am flabbergasted.

If everyone who ever picked a fight with Alex on this board, or posted something stupid to which Alex took offense were to drop out of this camping trip, the bears would have to eat the crickets.

There's a difference between being a person I've argued with and being a person I don't want to spend that much time with. At some point I've argued (sometimes heatedly) with just about every regular here but I'd happily spend time with most of them.

And for the record, I have very rarely taken offense at what anybody has said. I have frequently disagreed, but they are hardly the same thing. You, currently, I find offensive. I'm sorry if that makes me a humorless boor incapable of seeing the bravery of saying what you did or the wit of what you did. But better that I step out now than put myself in the position of having to pretend to find you amusing for four days.

My apologies to anybody else I am inconveniencing or disappointing in some way. I hope you all have a great trip and the bears remain a respectful distance away.

And since this should be a happy, drama-free thread, I promise not to sully it further.
