Would someone please take some time to explain to me why people are so inclined to insult fellow-posters on forums, this one included.
I have never posted anything where I characterise other people in this way. My motives for posting about the cropping are entirely
bona fide and driven by good faith.
Why, pray tell, do you find the impulse to insult a fellow-poster who means absolutely whatsoever no ill in this fashion???
Why do you need to characterise and insult in this fashion?
Did I insult Steve when I made my suggestion, the elaborated on it??
If I'm wrong - and I, as anyone else, may be wrong, at any point - why can you not point it out in a constructive manner?
Why do you have to resort to such nouns and adjectives?? 'Pedantry'. 'Ridiculous'.
Please, I appeal to fellow-Leicaphiles here. This is bordering on the absurd.
I raised a point, and Steve - with whom I don't exactly share the same opinions on a variety of things - had the gentlemanly decency to acknowledge a certain merit in my observations.
Why do you have to come a long and call me a pedant, and qualify my 'pedantry' as 'ridiculous'?
Would you mind being more courteous?
What is 'ridiculous' is that the internet seems to be spawning far more antagonism than broad-minded discussion.
I'm sorry, but that is a pity indeed.
