This is the laugh of a most vile Hyena.

A fiendish laugh indeed.

This hyena roams the wastelands of the farthest reaches of the internet in search of impressionable new trainee arborists that he can influence in a hideously negative way.

This hyena resembles a dog but it hind limbs are shorter than its forelimbs - a strange beast indeed.

The hyena is proud of its despicable work practices, including one handed chainsaw use and lowering branches using its climbing line.

It feeds this information to hungry newbies eager for information about treeclimbing techniques.

This hyena is a arborphilistine - who grunts and shuffles its way around the arb forums looking for new prey to capture.

Arb Trainees and people new to treework! Beware this hyena wants your soul.

To keep at his festering lair - The Treehouse.

This hyena goes by the name of MasterBlaster

Wherever there is space to discredit MasterBlaster I will do it.

The guy has an extremely negative view on issues of health and safety in our industry.

How can highlighting a person in a self appointed position of responsibility in the arb industry openly advocating unsafe work practices be poisoning the board?

Alves you are in danger of becoming a passive sheep.

Better check yourself

You are one of the best contributors.

No wonder you had forgotten, all you ever think of is you.

Highlight what you want, there are places for discussions of those things, but there is a proliferation of negative personal posts that are pulling this board as I see it to a more negative place then it is intended to be. I view it as disrespectful, not to MB, but to Tom and Mark, and all the other people here that want to use the board for its intended purpose. I am an admin on my own site not related to trees, and I do not allow for personal insults to proliferate out of what i would call the Free fire zone. If there is something pertinant to discuss in the topic go for it, but here i dont see how it is.

 

[AxeKnot]

Point taken.

 

[PUClimber]

Very well put Alves. Even though Mark and Tom have the site it's like it's OURS and it's good to see someone taking the forefront on something they are about. So Alves what injuries did you sustain?

 

[Alves]

My ground guy shock loaded a piece, and i got flopped around by my AFC and Lanyard, broke 3 ribs tore some muscle off the fourth, and generally screwed the back something fierce.

I am healing nicely, ive been climbing for about a month and a half now.

 

[Colin]

Good to hear!
