Hypocrisy??

1. I am anti-bolt.
2. There are places where bolts are appropriate, for instance some places in Zion, and places where bolts have been well-established, and places where bolts are a preferred technology to prevent greater impacts.
3. When bolts are placed, they should be placed well.
4. I respect the right of everyone to place bolts as they see fit. I ask that you respect my right to remove bolts as I see fit.
5. Generally one should respect the rules of the land manager.
6. While I have an opinion on when bolts are appropriate outside of Utah, I am a visitor outside of Utah and do not think my opinion should carry much weight. In Utah, I consider myself a local in most locales.
etc.
As an example - where you see hypocracy, I see nuance.

When is an agreement not an agreement? When pictures and beta are given publicly to the community with the goal of bullying, flaunting, taunting, and/or manipulating, it breaks the agreement.
Half of the ‘A team’ unique to the Dante’s has broken the agreement. It is null and void. I no longer feel bound by an honorable agreement. I will not stand by and be part of bullying, deceit, and manipulation. It is against the moral standards by which I guide my entire life, not just the recreational sport of canyoneering.
I wonder how the other ‘hundreds’ are feeling, having bargained in good faith.

That's perfectly describes hypocrisy!!!
bullying, deceit, manipulation?? Speaks highly of "your" team....
