I forgot how they started arguing against leave no trace as well lol. It was honestly infuriating.
I remember someone going "I just don't think it matters if I mess up a flower bloom or stack some rocks" and then they were told that it did matter and how it mattered and they just went "yeah I just don't think that makes sense." mao-wtf
Lot of "well but what if I wanna stack rocks?" And "what if I'm terminally depressed and stacking rocks is my only outlet?"

It was a real low point for the site

I remember reading that thread when it happened, and thinking how ridiculous that all was. Like, it was something I’d never really thought much about but I was just like oh ok, that makes sense, I’ll be sure to remember not to fuck around with rocks. The responses were baffling. Do you have the link so I could revisit it?
