VERY DISCOURAGING

cgipson1 · Apr 10, 2012

We are just communicating to you, that in the real "Adult" world... you are expected to act like an adult. Communicating like a twelve year old girl with a cell phone does not enhance respect! I am not trying to be a jerk.. just trying to help you see that if you want respect, you need to show yourself worthy of respect. Spelling and grammar has little to do with that.. but your communication in general, and your attitude have a lot do to with it!

I don't even judge people on their photos unless they claim to be a pro.... but I do look at how they present themselves and how they communicate! Not much else to go on, on the Internet!

I am sorry DScience that my post was misread. But I did not accuse the op of being illiterate. Actually, my direct quote is this "The way I view it, if you are not literate it will be very hard to understand how to use a camera." If read in context one would see that it was meant as a general statement in response to the original question (something like) "why don't my photos get many c&c".It was not meant as a label to the op.

Actually I did not make any direct insults to the op and constructed my response in a very specific way to try and get my point across without 'name calling' or insulting. I spent time to try and explain my immediate view of a person, when the first thing I see from them is typed in such a lazy fashion. I think you are the one who is name calling and judging me after you misquoted and misrepresented my post. Shame on you.

And yes, I do know that this is the "world wide web". But I also check the op's location when I see extreme typos like what is seen here on this thread.

LOL! DScience... you nailed it! Thanks for having the balls to call it like it is. :thumbup:
You're a glimmer of sunshine in the abyss of stupidity.

This is all it comes down to most of you have proven what I said.. Read what has been posted . You are all supposed to be professional adults. Well at least I thought so. It's very petty how you couldn't and haven't broken me down that now you are looking at something to pick at. Shame on all . This is where our kids learn to be bullies and treat people the way they do .

Thank you, for making the effort to communicate clearly. :thumbup:

If you consider someone so offensive that it brings your forum experience down, here's something you can do about it:

1. Click the offensive person's user name.
2. Click "View Profile".
3. Click "Add to Ignore List".

Instantly you get a better forum experience.

For the so-called "pros" who feel a need to lash out and be a$$clowns:

1. You aren't required to respond to every noob post there is. If it's just plain dumb in your opinion, you can easily move on to something that would be more worth your time and effort to help with; Something you could answer or help with without being driven to be a jerk about it.

2. Your excuses for being jerks, usually centered on blaming your victims in some way, are just that: Excuses. Own your snotty reactions and stop blaming others.

3. Feel free to tear me a new one over this. I probably have you on ignore already anyway. :lol:

P.S. Keith, you make plenty of spelling and grammar mistakes of your own, so your near-constant berating of others over their spelling and grammar is just plain hypocritical, and you really should knock it off. I've noticed that even simple stuff like whether you should use "to", "too" or "two" is often beyond your abilities. In short, you think you're all that, but you're not, so stop pretending to be an English professor and the site's official spelling and grammar Nazi. It's a ridiculous shtick, especially on an internet forum, where lots of people of all backgrounds are sharing their thoughts with one another. What counts are the thoughts and ideas conveyed, not the minutiae concerning how they were written.

Also, everyone please keep in mind that there are always two opinions on everything: Mine and the wrong one. Let's try to keep that straight, mkay? :mrgreen:

Can't tell you how many times I had to edit my posts....damn you beer!!

KmH · Apr 10, 2012

I at least try Buckster. I edit my posts when I see errors, I appreciate when pople point errors out to me, and again edit when appropriate.

That is not the same as when people just flat out ignore trying to get it right.
