A lot of you need to grow up.

This isn't the first thread Khothead-o has threatened physical injury to members. That's about as grade school play ground as it gets. After reading all of his posts the last few months, I'm thoroughly convinced he thrives on confrontation and negative attention. Mature, right-headed adults use the ignore function, or simply refuse to take the bait. He, OTOH, runs freely and willingly into the fray. Who needs to grow up?

oh really? Who set the bait in the first place. Adults don't try to start fights they avoid it. Yes I'm an idiot for falling for it all the time but I shouldn't have to keep adding people to the ignore list. The fact is how many of you have fought over portrait and landscape orientation. At least my fights are started by insults not by idiotic things like whether a camera should be sideways or not. Where else was I threatening another person? Yes I do need to grow up but I'm only 21. I'm supposed to be young immature and restless. Whats their excuse for trying to start fights.

Put it this way if someone in real life kept insulting and putting you down what do you do? You ignore them right? Now what if they followed you everywhere you go and kept doing the same thing. You eventually snap and yell.at the guy or worse. They use the same tactics as neo nazis do today. They march in a parade provoking people. The people get mad and attack them. then the nazis play the victim. In the end the ethnic people end up looking bad.

The great thing about the Internet compared to the nazis is that you have an ignore tool and anonymity. I can also choose to ignore the nazis (which I do). I'm also not a meathead. That means my first reaction isn't, "Im gonna bash in your teeth for making me angry!"

Do not EVER blame your childish, testosterone driven aggression on ANYONE but yourself (which, by the way, is what you just did in the post I quoted). Many people have made me angry, annoyed, made fun of me, etc. throughout my adult life and not once have I ever resorted to or even threatened violence. There is absolutely no reason for it. The only time it's appropriate is to defend yourself from bodily harm. Not because someone gave you some advice (albeit, sarcastically) on some random photography forum on the Internet.

Like I said, own up to your own actions. Don't justify yourself. Man up. Doing that makes you much more of a man than someone who believes violence is the best way to react to people who upset you.

I'm not taking anyone's side here, it's a bloody photography forum and you get what you put in to it. I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to photography so I am greatful to anyone who takes the time out of their day to give me pointers on how they feel I can make my images better. I take everyone's advice and decided which pieces I'm going to use, I always try to thank everyone who responses to my posts, even if I don't agree with them. I don't agrue with them, show disprect or question their own photography skills.

I do agree it's a two way street, some of the comments toward you have been mean in nature but have you asked yourself why that is? Have you shown respect to those that taken the time to respond to you or have you acted in a way that has shown that you don't value the time they took to give you feed back?

The answer really is pretty simple, if you feel that they are following you from thread to thread insulting you and putting you down then ignore them. Click on their profile and add them to your ignore list. There is no point in reading their posts if you feel they are not adding to your learning experience.

or you were just too scared to stand up for yourself.

I do thank those that contribute without snide remarks. Doa, ron and a lot more people are awesome and even when I don't agree I look up to those guys for their patience towards beginners. These few individuals act like we would sacrifice a goat before we ask anything. We have to watch the difficulty of our questions and our grammar or else they jump down our throats. They hang out at beginner forums getting mad at people asking beginner and easily answered questions. So what if we want things spoon fed to us. You go into any class and the teacher spoon feeds you everything. All you have to do is listen take notes and answer questions. they would rather write a wall scolding you than right 2 lines answering your question.

Hey go right ahead. If there is one thing I'm good at it's getting attention. Everyone derails my topics anyways at least this way I'm helping.

 

[shortpants]

I hate the attention but I'm going to keep bumping my thread to the top. Weeeee!

 

[Vtec44]

This thread reminds me of radio commercials for Reputation.com. lol

Do you mind me asking... how old are you?

Easy to anger, thinks violence is the answer, jump down everyone's throats that are trying to help you, never wrong, never to blame, thinks fighting and name calling shows how much of a man you are. I'm going with early 20's.

you never read the whole thread did you. If you did you would know my age and who jumped down who's throat first. I bet like the rest of the people here you just assumed I started this fight. To be fair I have never fought outside the ring. Im just telling kmh what I would like to do but I have more self control than that. Like I said I have a reason to be the way I am, I'm young. What's kmh, bitter and derrels reasons to be so grumpy all the time. They attack anyone asking simple questions. Kmh was trying to help me but he also tried to lecture me. Would you like a lecture about your character everytime you ask a simple question.
