carstenw Posted July 6, 2007 Share #161 Posted July 6, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) What a mess. Mods, how about making a decision on the posting of images, posting the decision here, and locking the thread. Nothing more is getting accomplished at this point.

bill Posted July 6, 2007 Share #162 Posted July 6, 2007 Oh good grief. It's a camera, not the Holy Grail. It's the Interweb, not real life. I suppose we were due a thread like this. It clears the air. Probably predictable that it should arise in the M8 ghetto. Suggest this thread is closed now, before the sound of spitting dummies rises to a crescendo.

plasticman Posted July 6, 2007 Share #165 Posted July 6, 2007 Sorry folks , I am just done with the insults however cleaverly disquised . i really don't have the time for this stuff and it is extremely rude to hammer me when i do more than my share of helping others and i don't bother anyone else. Can someone clarify for me what part of my post was so extremely insulting? In the original Germany thread I took exception at the way Guy attacked imants for questioning the placement of the thread and possibly (i can't recall, because the posts were subsequently removed) the merit of the images. I don't think any of this is so extreme - but I'm not going to get into a fight about it, by any means. Gonna be a weekend out with the M7 for the first time! And another try with the 21 elmarit, which I didn't have time to use last weekend, after all. Have a great weekend everyone! and Guy, just shrug it off and put us on your ignore list. EDIT: by the way, when i re-read my post i realized that others might not understand what i meant unless they'd read the whole thread. This quote from Guy is why i reacted: so the pissing contest goes on. i really don't give a shit anymore and mani is right behind him on the pissing list. These guys need some help if you ask me, they have no respect in my opinion for any one here and most of the forum feels the same way.Now i won't here the end of this one and frankly who the fuck cares anymore I'm really sorry he feels this way, but personally I don't think it's a fair reflection of my contribution, and I certainly hope that I'm not as universally despised on the forum as Guy thinks I am, just because I've had a couple disagreements with him. Oh well... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted July 6, 2007 Share #166 Posted July 6, 2007 Guy, I certainly would not blame you if you never looked at another thread here but the community as a whole would suffer I feel. Personally, it would help my pocketbook because I would not spend money on stuff you keep trying and recommending Lets all move on!!!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mods, how about making a decision on the posting of images, posting the decision here, and locking the thread. Nothing more is getting accomplished at this point. Hi Carsten - I quite agree - it's getting steamy! Still, it would be worth remembering what Tim Ashley's original post actually said. It wasn't advocating abandoning the Photo Forum (or anything like it). I think that it lightens the atmosphere to have a few photos posted, and as you pointed out earlier on, there could be a convention about a warning in the header.

norm_snyder Posted July 6, 2007 Share #168 Posted July 6, 2007 I went away from this thread for about a day and a half, and couldn't believe the amount of reading it took to catch up! I agree that, for some, it seems the air has been cleared, but wonder whether this issue can really be settled. I agree with numerous posters that this subforum has been a source of a good deal of information for photographers at all levels of experience and focus in their photographic efforts or enterprise. I would prefer to see it remain an "open" forum, and that perhaps, as one person suggested on a [much] earlier page of this thread, notice that photos might be posted on a thread would give folks an option to ignore it, and move on. Finally, as I often find I've posted just before a thread dies, I thought I'd help this one reach its only possible conclusion--nothing will really be settled to everyone's satisfaction--maybe it is time to lock this thread.

andybarton Posted July 6, 2007 Share #169 Posted July 6, 2007 Since this thread has degenerated into yet another slanging match, it's probably best if we draw another fine example of peace and harmony to a close. Thanks for an interesting discussion, folks. Some food for thought for us all there, I am sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
