The thread drift debating the societal cause/effect was pseudo political and not hiking related and thus off limits in trail talk regardless of how civil.  The thread served its purpose to alert users to theft/vandalism at the Dickerman trailhead.

You're strict, Tom, but right.

Well, this thread led me to the break-in thread that I might have missed so thanks for that.

I'd have to agree that while that discussion was interesting, it was definitely political.  Not really a close call in my view.

I wonder if people at the social discussed human nature and how to optimize social interactions like we have here at NWHikers which quickly get rough?

Hard to say since those those with a proclivity to discuss the finer details don't seem to have the time to show up to the socials.

It's hard for us hiking bots to take physical form.
