Oh well, I have red through this entire debacle. I was gonna keep my trap shut, but decided to put my 2 cents worth of synopsis in, anyway.
What do I see here? One sock puppet. Several members complaining about new members. Complaining about how it's too hard to give C&C and the new members do not accommodate them.
Complaints that one can't teach anything, unless the new member shows them a willingness to learn, and bla bla bla on and on.
I won't lie in that I agree with some of it........but certainly not ALL of it.

I'm wondering if those of you with this attitude think these new members are coming to this forum, specifically to annoy you?
Here's a newsflash, They're new members with cameras. They don't know what they're doing. Here's another revelation, get this, it's a photo forum.
They probably found the place surfing the net after they got their new cameras, decided to join up, maybe make a buddy or two and get a bit of friendly advice.
Some of them will even start to look up to some of you, ever think about that?
This condescending crap makes that awful hard to do. I mean how dare they come in and ask silly questions about photography, in a beginners photography forum?
That's just absurd. How dare they post pictures and ask for my C&C in a photo forum.....in the beginners section? That is just down right unacceptable.
Now how silly does that sound? Be for real. Seriously.

I went off on AMOMENT for over posting the same stuff. I made a mistake when I did that because I wasn't thinking the way I should have.
Not the first mistake, and it damn sure won't be the last. But this doesn't have anything to do with me or my mistakes, now does it?

Disclaimer: I made a few buddies here. They know who they are. And they should know where this post is directed.
It's not to insult anyone. I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, or make any enemies. But I am making light of how self centered, egotistical, and overly self righteous some of this crap is. Obviously no one else was going to do it even though they may have thought it.
I'm sorry Keith. I like you, I think you're a wealth of knowledge when to comes to photography but this is one of the silliest threads I've ever seen.........In a beginners forum , no less, right after Christmas when they got their new cameras, stampeded the Internet in search of, and found a ....a..well, a photo forum. COME ON!
Even though, I agree with some of it.

So I wrekon I'll get blasted for using a little common sense. Oh well.
Happy times again. lol

12 pages - - nothing resolved! Sigh.

Did you pay heed to the counts KmH mentioned? Out of 40 threads, the 26 he counted had 76 total photos. That's an average of three photos per post. Three photos per post might be more than is reasonable to expect C&C on during a busy time of year. As he pointed out, the flood of C&C requests has meant that many people were not getting much (or any) C&C.

With all fairness, one of those pages was just me trolling.

Yeah, off the the gallows with them.
They did it on purpose in a concerted effort to disrupt the beginners section of the photo forum, in a diabolical plot to take over..............and piss everyone off, whose been here for more than a year.
Come on Derrel, bro.

Plus most of the regulars are just letting of steam/trolling/filling in time whilst they should be working/waiting for the kettle to whistle.

We get these threads from time to time, and whilst the debate can get a little heated its generally a pressure release for many to let of a little steam.

Hey LightSpeed,
I like your spider, bee and moon posts much better than the ones in which you admit to using "little common sense" (you said it, bud!)

Generally speaking if a conflict is not resolved within three pages it never will.

It's the internet what can you expect? Things work differently here. lol

OK as someone who doesn't post much (the forum and some of the regular members can be a little intimidating at times), I recently posted for some C&C, I was going to hold off until some of the "Christmas Newbies" fell away but I figured if I waited to long I might be instilling some bad habits that would be hard to break later so I threw caution to the wind and posted. I got 15 replies to my post (5 were mine thanking everyone for taking the time to give me feedback, so really 10). I got some great feedback/correction as well as some postive feedback. So even thou the forum is busy, people are giving C&C and some of us really appreciate it.

Ya... that sounded really like a suck up job but I've had 3 cups of coffee in the last 45 mintues and my fingers are really just typing away............ohhh more coffee??? YES PLEASE!

because ultimately it doesn't really matter. we just like to hear ourselves pontificate, we like to feel outrage in our boring, overly comfortable lives.

If any of use truly had something to be passionate about, we would not be here yammering about whatever we're yammering about.

I still have no idea what this thread is about - and neither do you or anyone else for that matter.
