All,
Just an
opinion here, but we all should expect to receive the same respect, or lack thereof, that we give out.
Some of us habitually show little respect for those who disagree with us. How you disagree is usually more important than the fact that you do disagree.
There are hundreds of examples of folks disagreeing on this site. Here are just two:

Oro,
Someone did find a treasure on the Stone Map trail. His name was Harry LaFrance. One man, that I know of, is still alive and he held the LaFrance gold bars in his hands. My Uncle did as well.
Don't know how familiar you are with the Superstition Mountains, but I made my first trip in forty-eight years ago. There are monuments everywhere! Most of my exploring was done in higher elevations with no trails at all. There were still monuments everywhere.
Everyone will now claim how "easy" it was to figure out the maps. In thirty-five years I have never met a single person who had a clue. Most of them were following someone else's ideas. By all means, I would encourage everyone to seek the end of the trail on Herman's Mountain.
Mike says he probably knows more about those maps than anyone alive. Perhaps that is true.

I have crossed the line many times, but there was a huge crowd over there.
We should all try to be a bit more civil, but it's not always easy........as you well know.
