1) Have you formally apologized to the forum member you recently attacked by accusing him of being a ''pedophile''?
(The moderators quickly deleted that disturbing post and I think we should continue to respect the members anonymity for obvious reasons)
2) Have you surrendered your other identities to the moderators yet?
3) If any objective assessment was made of your own past behavior based on the criteria that you outline above where do you think that that would leave you?
Look forward to hearing your answers
Sincerely

A: It is possible, with the afformentioned users suspended or banned from this forum to have civil, intelligent discussions in a lounge about any topic.
B: I had posted my thoughts in this thread for many pages and not one person attacked me until I brought up the root cause for the Lounge being a certain number of users. Those users further proved my point by, you guessed it, attacking me.
C: If anyone were to research their posts, they would see I am not their only target. They have targeted other users as well. One such post told someone to "go masturbate somewhere else."
Plain and simple: These people need to be removed from this forum. If the moderators feel I've caused any of the ruccus, I would be more than happy to discuss that with them and would subject myself to whatever appropriate action they would feel necessary.
It's quality. Not quantity. I don't have many questions that need to be answered. When I do, I will post them.
75 of those post pertained to politics.
That is my point. If you have nothing photographic to say or talk about, why come here?
you wish it would just go away,
and then you hit 'submit reply'
doh!
In the thread you started about "Contemporary v. traditional", I asked you specifically to give us your opinion in the subject, and I don't think you have provided any significant contributions, which is a bit surprising for the publisher of a magazine dedicated to photographic art. I suggest that the thought you (and others) put into extraneous subjects be put to use in those kind of dialogs. Instead, after you joined the forum, the number of gratuitous political threads increased dramatically. Those threads, by human nature always turn hostile, so by starting so many of them you were part of the problem.
Well, nobody posted any waterfall pics. How about trees and rocks? Anyone got a few of those to show?
Seriously, folks... I thought this was the Large Format forum, not the Get in a Fight forum. If I want to get in a heated argument I can just walk across the street to the construction site and say something disparaging about some big guy's recent matrilineal ancestry. I don't go looking for fights at a photography forum, for crying out loud.
I can't believe I am taking David Spivak side.......
QT are you saying that the person who is insulted is also to blame because he is the one who started some of the threads?
What about the responsibility of the people who offend?
What do you mean gratuitous political threads?
WHat about this thread http://www.largeformatphotography.in...ad.php?t=41053 that might have offended deeply some people and was allowed to live and show how low Human nature can go?
But my real question is: why not get rid of the offenders instead of banning political and religious topics in the Lounge, when we have seen in this very thread that an aggressive mind will be so at any occasion it finds?
perhaps this thread should be moved to The Lounge.Seriously, folks... I thought this was the Large Format forum, not the Get in a Fight forum.
