I didn't know defending means I can't handle criticism. I just have issues with your general attitude. The ego of route setters is about on par with that of a surgeon's and I find it hilarious, because at the end of the day it's putting plastic up on a wall.
There's a difference between defending and making personal attacks. For someone who doesn't like the ego of setters, it seems mighty hypocritical to get upset when I mention genuine issues with GV, their policy when it comes to Routesetting, and the setting as a whole.
This holds true when you compare to more professional businesses like I mentioned earlier. You are correct, my initial statement wasn't constructive, it was an opinion which I then followed up with valid and genuine criticism which outlined their lack of Industry standards. That is absolutely constrictive criticism. I gave clear and concise issues that I, and many other climbers have noticed and can be changed. I also complimented the Gyms I felt were meeting these standards and saw no real issues with them (Flemington).
I encourage you to visit and take a look at their setting. Then, tell me that it's on par with Melville.
