You should be flattered, that anyone even bothered considered using them for
anything. I send people to look at your photos to show them what not to do if
they want to become a credible photographer some day.

"I sent polyvore a bill for $39,600 for use of the image for the last 3
months."

I hope you contacted a lawyer *before* sending that bill, didn't you?

It's the only way that Roger will ever get paid for his photography. He's been
hoping for something like this for years now. He can't get any buyers through
the continuous spamming of every newsgroup and forum in existence for the last
decade or more. Events like this are his only options to make his hobby finally
pay for itself.

He'll have to find a shady lawyer though, one that doesn't know anything about
photography. Any reputable lawyer who has ever held a camera would just laugh in
his face and tell Roger to pay polyvore for trying to improve his images. "What
damages? You weren't selling any! To top it off they improved your photos! Go
look up the word 'improvement' in relation to 'damages'. Now quit bothering me."

When he finds out that throwing away even more money on lawyer didn't get him
recompense for his hobby do you think he'll finally give up and accept what he's
been told all his life? "You have no talent!" Don't count on it. People like
him believe that all you need do is buy the most expensive camera to become a
photographer. They'll then believe all they need now is to buy the most
expensive lawyer. Same mindset, same failure rate. Same clown.

Usenet doesn't get more entertaining than this. Go Roger! Go! LOL

The intelligence and wisdom of a Dr. Proving yet again that even the most stupid
people on earth can claim that title, and often do. You do your title proud
Roger, reinforcing what everyone already knew. At least you are providing
another data-point on the graph, one that clearly puts "Drs." in the very lowest
end of the common-sense spectrum. What a nice legacy that you'll leave attached
to your name, "Here lies Roger, Just another Dr., Of non-cents and nonsense."

Still jealous I see.

I didn't post this to be about my images, but to alert that this site
is stealing from many people and people may want to check the site
to see if their images have been stolen.

For the record, since this troll posts this same crap often,
I am not in business to sell photos, and this is stated on my
web site. Unfortunately, people like my images so they request
them often, so I put up prices for such requests. I also
supply images to researchers and for educational purposes
at no charge.

From the above troll rant, if you are wondering what is going on,
(for those new here), my images and a lot of information about
digital cameras, scanning, and sensor performance is at:
http://www.clarkvision.com

Perhaps the troll, since it says it steers people to my site to
illustrate how not to do photography, can point out the award winning
photos, including national best in show, and international awards.
If it knows my work so well, maybe it can list the books and calendars
where my images have been published, or the galleries where my
images are on display.
In reality it is just so jealous it can't stand it. It has
even made threats on my life. It changes its name often (e.g.
the post from TheTruth is the same person) for two purposes:
to circumvent filters, and to make it appear more people
share its view. It is very angry and jealous, and when its
true colors are shown, it gets angrier and spews more hate.
Get ready....
