I try to keep my geocaching stats accurate so that my milestones are where they belong. I generally use GSAK and run the "Check Multiple Finds" Macro. Whenever I find a discrepancy I go looking for it and correct it.
Recently I was emailed and informed that one of my caches had a duplicate log on it. Now I want my own caches to correctly reflect their finds as well so I went ahead and deleted the double log and informed the cacher what I had done and why.
Apparently this was the wrong way to go about it. I get accused of a hatred so deep I delved into the bowels of the cache logs until I came up with someway to screw up their stats. Said cacher hides his stats so there was no way of even knowing what I had done. Yes, at some point I realized that it was a possibility but by then it was too late. Said cacher decided to try to roast me in the forums once again. Once again said cacher did not receive the support that he felt he deserved.
On that note I did download and run the "Duplicate Found Logs" Macro. I discovered a few more and proceeded to delete them as well. Now I have discovered that there is another online program called Project-gc.com Wow even GSAK has missed some of my duplicates. Something to work with over the next few days to make corrections and inform the cachers.

A New Year
So much has happened in the past year. Some cachers took exception to my views on geocaching guidelines and how they should be approached. Well everyone is entitled to their opinion. I believe we must strive to be the best we can every day. It's hard and sometimes petty thoughts and deeds come to mind but I do try to squelch them as much as possible.
So here is my caching to do list for the next year:
1. I will smile and greet all those I meet on the trails
2. I will ignore being ignored, the stares, the whispers, and the glares
3. I will not make any comment I feel is inappropriate on your cache page
4. I will answer any email I get regarding my caches, it is up to you to take me off your ignore/block list and answer in a mature and calm manner
5. If I have a concern about your cache I will email you first, it is up to you to take me off your ignore/block list and answer in a mature and calm manner
This is pretty basic stuff and I am hoping all that I meet and know will do the same
