Always seemed weird to me how people get into hiking (or cycling or whatever) to push themselves and exercise, and then spend thousands on gear to make it as easy as possible.
Edit: I think I offended some hikers.
More than the actual message, I have a different issue with this comment.
It's how it's one of the most incredibly Uncool things to do to make fun of someone caring too much for their hobbies when you're an outsider. The moment it implied that this user is not an hiker, it instantly corrupted everything about it. That edit carries malice.
There's a word for it, and I refuse to do anything but downvote those people on sight.
I personally have a pet peeve with commenters who edit their posts to complain about having "offended" others when all of the replies are reasonable and calm. It always makes it seem like the commenter was actively trying to upset others, and when they noticed no one was actually upset and people only gave reasonable replies, they pretend everyone was upset anyway so they don't actually have to engage in a conversation.
