has that person actually attended any events? ugly logs often mean an anti-social cacher is behind them. too bad though.

one time I dnf'd a cache that was a micro in the woods and didn't make a big deal about it because the cacher was new to the game. instead it just sent a short note to try and help encourage him to hid some caches with a lower difficutly rating untill he has a few more finds under he belt. he snapped back with a snarky response and then proceeded to try and hide some caches on a military installation. they were somehow approved (mostly in thanks to some crappy google mapping images) and I got the same response from the guy after i pointed him to that part of the geocaching hiding guideline.

As someone who has hidden over 400 caches I have seen a lot of interesting behavour by other cachers out there. I wont say it does not sting when someone leaves a nasty long on one of my caches, but I have learnt that in a game that the only requirement to play is an email address and the ability to follow an arrow we sometimes end up with the least common denominator which with humanity is not always pretty.

It has tempered my logs over the years though, it does not matter what I thought of a cache at the time I will always thank the owner for the time, money and effort he/she put into placing the cache. Many "finder" often forget that without people hiding there is nothing to find.
