Some twit put a comment on the post I had written for Dartmoor. This person's comment was 'the tor you are talking about was not a settlement.'
Not a problem, but the irritating thing is that (1) they told me essentially that I had no idea what I was talking about, and (2) they left no fricking name! I am well aware that I am not always right, but have tried to consult maps and many other reference points to make sure that the information that I post is actually accurate. And I had in fact looked at many different guide books indicating that this was an old settlement, and even went with 3 historians to the tor. That and if you are going to try and make an ass out of someone, at least have the decency to leave your name!!! So, in a moment of supreme irritation, I deleted the comment.
Then spured by more irritation (because I knew I was right), I found an online map to make sure that in fact I was right. Here is the map to show that I am correct. Just keep on clicking by Princetown and eventually you will see Merrivale. There are two blue 'P' signs. Just under and between the two signs, there is the word 'settlement' on the tor we hiked to and took picture of. So, whoever you are, I was in fact correct. It was a settlement.

Oh my goodness, were you channeling Steve??
Good for you tho, what a jerk to say you're wrong and not have the guts to leave a name!

GO Trisha! I love that you take a stand and defend it. You are right, if you are going to question the information and try to make someone look "less than informed" be brave enough to put your name on the post! You go girl. I love reading the blogs! Makes the lonely evenings go a little quicker. Love you both! Aunt Sue
