Sobolik says goodbye

I just got done reformating my hard drive for the 2nd time in 3 months. I was again greeted by the Firefox warnings about The Photo Forum being an attack site and a malware site. There were threads discussing this as you probably remember.

I am rather sick of having to wipe out my brand new Windows 7 computer (Oct 10) and reload for several hours (with data losses.)

So for now I am not going to participate on the site other than this time to say good bye.

It's been fun. Have a great new year.

This gives credence to my theory that removing warning labels off of products will result in a drastic reduction of the idiocy plaguing the nation. :lmao:

I ve never had an issue with mine, of course I have decent anti virus software and a few other monitoring programs running that keep me safe.

Avast will actually not even load the site if malware is found. Great program for free

I love how Georgie Girl is going around accusing sobolik of being the perpetrator of this warning....nothing is more high-school-like than a girl spreading rumors about somebody who she thinks is uncool...she even began her very own thread to whine and accuse like a little bi....er, a little girl...

http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/general-shop-talk/232520-another-warning.html

Derrell you are such a hater... Shall I share your pms to me about Jew hating????

WTF are you talking about???? The lawsuits I mentioned regarding B&H Photo are factual and matters of public record...it's not about "Jew hating"..it's about the fact that B&H Photo has had two separate lawsuits brought against them; one for for discriminating against HISPANICS, and a second for discriminating against WOMEN.

You sound like the type that sees anti-semitism behind each and every utterance, like the Woody ALlen film where he said, "DId you hear what she said to me? she said, "d'you eat yet?" She said 'did JEW eat yet'!"

You're a slandering biatch Georgie. Share anything you'd like to....the facts do not change...B&H Photo has settled one lawsuit for millions of dollars...the US Justice Department has seen fit to sanction them for their actual actions. I could care less who runs the store--but their discriminatory policies have cost them millions of dollars in penalties.

I don't hate Jews....maybe you do??? Aren't you an anti-semite, Georgie Girl?

B&H Photo Video Sued For Gender Bias - Gothamist
In 2007 B&H payed out $4.3 Million Dollars to Hispanic workers:

"New York, NY – B&H photo and electronic equipment store has agreed to pay $4.3 million to settle a discrimination case.

The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which enforces laws prohibiting discrimination, alleges that B&H Photo and Electronics Corp. paid Hispanics working in its warehouses less than others, and failed to promote them or provide health benefits.
In its complaint, filed in Manhattan federal court, the EEOC said the discrimination was based on the employees’ nationality.
Under the agreement, B&H agreed to equalize the wages of its Hispanic employees to those of non-Hispanics, and to distribute $4.3 million to individuals who were paid less, not promoted, or denied benefits because they are Hispanic. [AP]"

and from late 2009, from New York's own the Village Voice newspaper:
B&H Photo Sued for Talmudic Discrimination Against Women - New York News - Runnin' Scared

B&H Photo Sued for Talmudic Discrimination Against Women, by Roy Edroso
"B&H Photo Video, the famously well-stocked, reasonably-priced, and knowledgeable-staffed midtown store, employs a large number of orthodox Jews on the floor and in management, but plaintiffs in a lawsuit say they're not so good about hiring and promoting women. Naskinsha Cushnie and three other female job-seekers claim discrimination. Cushnie says she was told she couldn't move from cashier to sales clerk because Jewish law forbids it...
The ladies' lawyer, Richard Ancowitz, cites not only civil but religious law: "I have consulted with leading authorities, and it is quite clear that there are no tenets of Jewish law that require the sales force to be male-only."
B&H strongly denies the charges ("B&H has a policy of not discriminating against employees and applicants"). In 2007 the retailer settled a discrimination suit brought by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, alleging underpayment and underpromotion of Hispanic employees, for $4.3 million."

Ouch! The truth hurts, don't it though?

Derrel trollling again.. eh..

usayit, masturbating over his 4/3 camera photos again...

laughing at you, you little troublemaker. You're one of the nicer character assassins I've ever met. The typical east coast Leicaphile who acts all cool, but is really just a prick inside sheep's clothing. Sorry I got back to this thread so late tonight usayit, I would have preferred to biatch-slap you right when you shot your mouth off, but alas, was too busy "getting a life".

<previous passages removed Did I miss something?>

Up until now, it's been a perfect day. Don't bum me out guys....

​

Please watch.​

Hey there, Georgie Girl...

 

[Overread]

Far better musics

As for all the drama - geeze guys do you ever sort these things out like adults? :er:

 

[DerekSalem]

You know you don't have to reformat your harddrive - virus scanning software - firewalls - malware removal all works rather well and takes far less time

Plus the whole fact that its a false positive at TPF rather than an actual attack from the site

This. All this.

I don't use a firewall, I don't use malware protection, I don't use antivirus protection, etc...

and I haven't been hit by a virus, spyware, or malware for...6 years? I used to use stuff, but truth is none of it is useful if you're an idiot. If you have a brain...none of it is required. Strange, the irony.

Every night! You should try it..... and maybe you wouldn't get so pissed off all the time.

What else do you call someone who posts "get a Mac" knowing very well what it usually turns into? A person trolling for a flame war.... I call it how I see it.

btw I wasnt personally attacking you..
