wrote: While many consider the flood of spam the only threat to the group, I think the flamers and foul-mouthed posts are just as much of a threat. It got pretty bad a few years ago but then people cleaned up their act and things cooled down. Can't we just disagree with folks in a civil manner? After a Lifetime in the photography business, I am NOT going to let anybody *question my credentials.* I studied at the best schools, and worked for the best companies, and was rewarded with steady employment. I am the Real Deal. Now someone comes along, the *hobby* type, and questions my judgment, that is fine and dandy. But I won't take ridicule because someone else is jealous. Lg |

I spent 60 years perfecting my performance in my chosen profession, and you throw the book away because you don't like the style of writing. This speaks VOLUMES about your intelligence (or lack thereof). So now the NEXT generation, YOU and your cohorts, will go about reinventing the wheel by yourselves, making all the mistakes your forebearers made, AGAIN, and the cycle will repeat itself. I'll leave you all to die in your own cesspool of ignorance. Pity to waste what I've learned over the years on people such as found here. Lg |

Here's what makes a photography discussion group work: People share what they do, and provide constructive criticism to each other. Thanks to all of those who have chipped in on my photos. Here's what doesn't work: People with no known professional name showing up and announcing that they are the world's expert on a topic, providing no evidence for their assertions and no samples of their work, and then being nasty to anyone who questions them. For all any of us know, you could be a 13-year-old posting stuff here, and it's up to individuals to accept your assertions of superiority to all of us. Because frankly, none of us know who you are or what your work is like. |

After a Lifetime in the photography business, I am NOT going to let anybody *question my credentials.* I studied at the best schools, and worked for the best companies, and was rewarded with steady employment. I imagine many that read this newsgroup studied in the best schools and worked for the best companies, even if not in the field of photography or design. We aren't bragging about it here, though, or posting our resumes* as if it were important to this group. If you want to link to some of your work, fine. If you want to compliment or criticize someone else's work, fine. However, someone who is the real "Real Deal" accompanies that compliment or criticism with helpful or informative comments. I am the Real Deal. Now someone comes along, the *hobby* type, and questions my judgment, that is fine and dandy. But I won't take ridicule because someone else is jealous. You are being ridiculed for your pomposity and overweening egotism, not your photographer's eye. No one is jealous of your accomplishments in making the trains run on time in a film processing facility. BTW...you posted a narrative résumé, not a CV. A curriculum vitae, in the US, is a summarization of an academic's experience, education, and papers/books published. You are not an academic, and do not seem to have published anything except some rather vitriolic newsgroup postings. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |
