>>2369238Nearly 20 years ago on another outdoor forum I posted about hammocks. This was back before they where a thing, and you really had to DIY or figure things out for yourself.
One old man in particular would always chime in about how they don’t work, how terrible of an idea it is, how “you have to find trees the right distance apart”… you know all the tropes. Probably five years after I started posting there, that same old man started to change his attitude about hammocks. One instance really stands out; he was claiming that in all of his years using a hammock, he never had an issue with water intrusion on his suspension (something that’s mitigated with drip lines or by using hardware, which acts as a natural water break).
I flew in an autistic rage, and spent way too much time bringing up all of his old posts where he had denied the viability of hammocks. I linked a big list of his past posts, and was quickly kicked off the forum. He never answered, and in fact never posted again. I don’t know if he was booted out as well or what.
