Recent Wingfoot quotes (full URLs below):

"I have nothing in common with your view of the Trail, and do not wish to
associate with you or seek compromise with you."

"...the 21st century definition of wilderness should be "anywhere that
Bryson hasn't visited and written about..."

"There is nothing except resignation that George [Bush] Jr. could do to
favorably change my mind about him. He is a mediocre mediocrity and proves
it every time he opens his mouth. I am ashamed of him daily. I will do
everything in my power to thwart his agenda."

"I no longer feel kinship with the country of my birth, so it is necessary
for me to turn elsewhere, since I don't see any prospect that the nation
will change. I am actively looking at alternatives."

"I won't even bother with your views, except to say that on the reworked
Trailplace they would never be aired, since they go entirely against what
this website is and will be about. The new format will not present you that
opportunity."

"Why don't you issue a public apology here so that I won't remove you [from
ATML] for that remark?"

"I will be making Trailplace much less interactive. The reason for this is
... because we have too many people who don't know what the Trail is about."

"I will take you to court if you continue to harrass this forum"

"I don't want you here anymore."

"...made impossible by the interference and politicking of the Appalachian
Long Distance Hiker's Association. It's one of the dirty little chapters in
the history of long-distance hiking circles."


And comments about Wingfoots filtering system:

"The [ATML] word filter is very aggressive and doesn't like words containing
the current president's last name, or the name of the competing trail guide
by ATC, nor does it seem to like the name of another Long Distance Hiking
Association which co-authors that guide. Avoid those and you are okay."

"It's the *&^% "word filter." You've typed something it doesn't like. Try
rephrasing your message (as often as necessary) until you get past the
filter."
