Dolphin says he will no longer post. Dolphin's gokunming posting behaviour was better than that of most of those who responded to him. He complained of personal attacks in his last(?) post. My sympathies are entirely with him, although I wish he were not so sensitive. This has nothing to do with my own very frequent and very fundamental disagreements with him.
Gee, congratulations folks. My thumbs-down to all involved - ridicule rather than reason, information, or anything else useful. Personalities and egos rather than pretended topics.
And I'm not pretending to be completely innocent of anything.

Getting Away: Six days hiking in Sichuan's Yading Nature Reserve, part I

In reading the article I found myself remembering a few experiences I've had in similar mountain country decades ago (I hope this doesn't sound like boasting) and thinking the author and I had attained more or less the same plane, something we could share if we met - I could identify. Not everyone can express it this well.
