You know what, just hold on a minute there. I was just about to write a scathing response to Kahr about how I guess he didn't learn anything the last time around and how he's still putting himself before everyone else and basically sending a big "F--- You" to the rest of his team and this community...
But you're coming in here blanketly accusing all AP of complicity, and that's starting to bother me. There are a few facts that you should take into consideration here. One is, there are tons of people on AP who have opinions on subject but don't feel like they can express them, because everything gets blown out of proportion and people get told "Who are you?" etc... and I am here to speak on behalf of those people. The second is, what can we actually -do- to a person who is not behaving by Aerie Peak standards? We only have two points of control... access to chat, and invites into groups. Kahr never talks in our chat, and he's a P2P so he can make his own groups. Just because a person is on Aerie Peak doesn't make him part of our community (Kahr singed that bridge before, and is working on burning it now) and just because another person on Aerie Peak doesn't immediately burn him at some virtual stake, does not mean that they agree with his practices.
I'm upset at his actions, and I'm upset at the image and effect that it's having on AP's reputation, but honestly I think at the moment I'm more upset about you throwing the whole baby out with the bathwater. I don't think you have much justification to lump all of Aerie Peak in with one already-half-ostracized botter.
