The FRFM controversy was CREATED by a blog

EDITORIAL

4 April 2010

Debate/Jens: It is a shame that a blogspot blog has created a controverse between two highly respected leading climbers. It had NOT existed if it was not because of the blog who apparantely does anything in order to create publicity. 8a do NOT want to take part in such internet foolness. There was NO controverse in between the climbers before it was invented by the blog and now it is all over the place and here is a bad example from another one who likes to escalate the controversy. Nalle Hukkataival, "I don't think internet is the proper forum to be discussing this matter anyway and I would prefer closing this conversation." and "New comments are NOT allowed."
