Some of my last photos taken in 2011 (Non Christmas)

[bazooka]

Have you given him any negative feedback on his pics?

 

[tirediron]

I've given what I feel is honest, objective feedback; from what I can tell, that seems to qualify. I'm feeling left out and un-loved!

 

[jake337]

yep. at first he was thanking me for being so helpful. and then, as soon as i said something that went against the coddling he wanted, he started pm'ing me about being rude and mean and that he was going to report me for not being nice, and he was going to put me on his ignore list. but he was going to give me one more chance before he took drastic measures.

and i was being helpful to the guy. offering him advice that had been given to me by others. and offering him LIFE advice.

but, as soon as i posted the video "why can't we befriends" to lighten the mood in his thread..

BAM.. i was the bad guy.


i have four or five ultimatum pm's from him. i won't violate the sanctity of a pm, but let's suffice to say they are a joke. they even had my 16 year old cracking up.


he CRAVES to be the victim. he needs it to function. it's his life force.

read any of his threads.

i guarantee you by the end of the first page, he is the victim under attack from the meanies.

and the first page always starts off with ADVICE.

but, it's not what he wants to hear, so he becomes the victim. and starts the drama.

and yes, childishly some gang up on him. myself included.

and what does he do.... he waves the flag becomes the martyr, and then when the smoke settles, he does it all over again.


he feeds off this. whether it's a depression issue, or just being a troll. he needs the drama. he craves it, he sucks it in like a vacuum.

Yes, and it's sad because others who are actually trying to get better, or are posting with mouch mroe intent are getting passed up because of the nonsense.

In most of these post people ask for advice, then recieve it, and then ask more questions.

Wtf, 15 pages. Really? REALLY?

 

[Ballistics]

I find it funny that the people who seem to have the biggest problem with this guy are all members who have been here for a couple weeks.
Too many people want to hop on the band wagon.

It is what it is, you guys are the solution to your own problem. Don't care for him? Don't post in his threads. That's all it takes. You complain about how he
is here for negative attention, guess who is giving it to him?

Look at my avatar and dance. It's all cool.

I'm one of many that have tried to help. Both in thread and by pm. I'm not sure that the length of time people have been on this forum necessarily has all that much to do with it. For what it's worth I think that the extra thread was ill-advised and unfortunate and was borne out of frustration I suspect. I think humility is required on both sides.
For my own part, I'd like to see PG come out with some great photography and many on here have given him advice. It's no good telling people what they want to hear as there is no improvement to be found that way. It wasn't just once or twice that PG ignored advice, he ignored it repeatedly. 5 or 6 of us suggested to him kindly that he take a step back from posting, which is the only way this will die down. I hope that PG finds his way on to the route to good photos but I fear he may be to blinkered to see the way.

I sincerely hopes he proves me and many others wrong.

 

[cgipson1]

Yep. He sent me a PM saying that I'm on the list of names that he will be reporting to the mods... over this post. Really?

Ditto.. I know I am on that list! He kept PM'ing me asking for help.. and would never respond to my replies.. claimed he wasn't receiving them. Whatever......

I've gotten some PM's too. Thanking me for the help. I must not have been tough enough!

Before or after he called you a gang member?

 

[cgipson1]

Oh that's such BS. He's been doing the same thing since day 1. If someone posts something he doesn't want to hear he goes on and on about everyone bashing him.

I didn't get a PM; does this mean I'm not one of the 'In' crowd? :er:

It just means you are one of the lucky ones!

This guy is not capable of doing more than pointing and shooting a camera and posting snapshots here as though they are art and worthy of high esteem. Similar to others who have insisted posting their work evidencing a similar lack of iniative and aptitude, I hope it all ends soon. I'd like to get to pay more attention to some offerings of serious work by others with some real talent and capabilities.

True, but let's try and C&C those that will listen and maybe help those who want to helped. I'm sure he won't be the last we come across like this but there will be some good 'uns I'm sure.

Been there, done that already...Time is up with this guy. He may be a hero in his hometown, and that is what he seems to insist on being here....seems we are at cross purposes...I just want to see decent photos. Not happening...

 

[kundalini]

As a somewhat "seasoned" member her, I was in agreement with MLeek the other day when she said.......

.....I have never seen any of the seasoned members here tell anyone their image sucks, period.

This ^^^

I'm beginning to re-evaluate that position and break rank.


Anyone remember Senor Hound?

Me too I just hope that people aren't too jaded from this experience to help people that are prepared to listen...
