Gentlemen...

We have all previously agreed to the 'Terms and Conditions' -- For using this FREE, Forum space.

One of those Terms and Conditions is as follows:

Nobody of course likes having their hand slapped... And we all understand that.
But, sometimes it really is just best to: "Give It a Break"... And move on.

We were also given this FREE feedback forum, I wonder what we could use it for...

Last week I had a thread closed talking about the increasing dust in the American West. I plucked it out of a thread I started on dealing with dust when drying film. I knew it would lead to talk about global warming and I knew it would be quickly shut down. And it was. Asi es la vida aqui. I don't know of a more important discussion about the future and frankly about the future of photography. But that discussion will not happen here.

there is no such thing as manmade global warming
it is just a hoax put to us by people who want to further
their global agenda put forth by the pink-filled illuminati-clench
to divide and conquer slackless pinks until the x-ists comeback
( they got lost in 1996 )
to enjoy glorp and global domination of pinks .
or so the sacred text of the subgenii suggests ...

i do admit, it is getting kind of warm though.

I've deleted all of the non-photographic commentary posts from Richard's thread, so that they won't serve as an ongoing, gratuitous provocation.

However, the thread will remain closed. We have no problem whatsoever with members becoming aware of, following and supporting Richard's work on this project; we will retain the closed thread so that those who are interested can find and follow the link to his site to view more of it.

It's wonderful that you are so open "Mistakes were made, but not by the mods" that really makes us feel welcome as a community.

I can't connect your paraphrase with what I wrote, anywhere.

We are, of course, still listening, but invective makes doing so less easy.

Gosh this topic is so inflammatory User Taija71A called me a "fag" in a PM. I hope this is just his way of saying that he's sorry for being a terrible person and would like to make it up to me with a date.

It seems that we were right about at least some of the people coming down on the side of the thread being closed. Take a good, hard look at yourself, moderators, and ask if you want to be seen as supporting the position of people like this.

I laughed out loud. Hey, I'm not gay but you strike me as an interesting person to talk to over coffee.

The topic is science AND extremely political. Dude. Where have you been?

It only becomes political if you let it. Stick with the science and let people discuss and post images to their heart's content.

Who controls that? It NEVER worked before.
