It wasn't a stupid question, just a general opinion question and wow, such anger. A simple yes or no would have been adequate.

Maybe this debate was going on over there and OP wanted some other thoughts he could recylce in that forum...I dunno.
You asked for a general opinion. Opinions vary wildy. If you don't want opinionated answers, then say " I just want a yes or no ". I think everyone answered your question. Sure some people may have been a little smart-ass about it, but if you can't handle that, then stop whining about the forum and hit the road.
You also don't understand Photoshop because it is mostly the computer version of darkroom techniques that have been used for over 100 years.
Film developing is exactly the same as post processing, just much more difficult, expensive, dangerous, and time consuming. Many of photoshop techniques are based on things photographers would do in a darkroom. To answer your question, no it doesn't make a bad photographer. If you have a really cool landmark you want to shoot but have tons of tourists around it, should you just never EVER shoot that landmark, shoot it with tons of people just to feel like a legit photographer, or do you do multiple exposures and stack them to remove the people?
I think you have a misconception of what post processing is and also what cameras are capable of.
Do you consider a photog "good" when they use photoshop on nearly every photograph?
Hello Just wanting general opinion here. Do you consider a photog "good" when they use photoshop on nearly every photograph?
to answer your question:
if a photographer HAS TO use it evertime, then they are most likely not a good photographer. a good photographer should be able to take the pic he wanted to take with the camera.
so i do not consider myself a good photographer yet

So any use of selective coloring, dodging and burning, HDR makes you a bad photographer? ( I mean if its done well )
I think the problem is there are two distinctions as someone else said on here. Those who use photoshop to "fix" poorly taken photos and those who enhance ( contrast, color correction, dodging and burning, HDR ) photos.
