poser-basher

A poser basher is someone so absorbed with there own image of cool, that they believe anyone who attempts to try the activity the poser basher is good at, must either be hardcore about it 110% or is a poser, and should therefore be ridiculed. Yes there are posers out there, but not everyone that say, "goes surfing once a year" or "wears a certain type of clothing is a poser, and if they are, who cares, only the poser basher. (perhaps the poser basher is really inside the poser him-(or her)self.) If you love something why not be happy for someone who tries that very thing, even if only so they can feel a small part of what you feel enjoying that activity. the majority of the people that say surf, or rock climb, or skateboard, or snowboard, ski, or whatever activity could care less whether your a poser or not, there out there doing there own thing. Im sure you come across poser-bashers everyday. im not pointing fingers or anything, just saying my piece. But seriously everyone, give the new kids a chance, if someone's having a hard time on a tough problem, or just can't send a wall, or cant paddle out through the surf, or even if they just have the tools, but just dont know what to do with them, go help them out, dont just sit back labeling them, that type of behavior does'nt help anyone out, if you love a sport or activity, introduce others to it, share the love. but hey thats just my piece.
