[QUOTE="Comet, post: 781562, member: 15944"] LOOOONG: :rolleyes:It's not what we think about any wheeling pics and whether or not they are or "look" legit. It's what John Q. Public thinks about it. And if the greenies are good at one thing, it's taking things out of context, whether it's words or pics, and supporting their story with it. Fortunately there have been a couple well publicized cases where they were caught with their pants down trying to make people think one thing, when something entirely different is actually happening. Their credibility is tarnished a bit and some decision makers are now asking questions they never used to. However, the sympathetic public is still way over on their side. My personal opinions of posting pics is that I don't particularly like it. Again, just my personal opinion. But here's the conundrum for me. I am the moderator of the trails section. Crash made it very clear to me and I share his belief's that no offending pics (tree climbing, wheeling in known closed areas, etc) were to be posted on his site.
