Being right or being smart?

... if you want to attack me ...

You made a provocative statement and got the reaction you were seeking; you're not being "attacked," you're 'encountering disagreement.' 🙄

I said "Sally Mann, who cares," and "Nan Goldin, whatever."

In addition to being rather nonsensical, your statement is just as rude as the rudeness you decry on the forum.

Matthew 6:2

who is matthew?

 

[Al Kaplan]

We have all sorts of religions represented here. Let's not start arguing about which translation from ancient Hebrew to Aramaic to Latin to English means what. We also have a few different sects of Jews, a plethora of Christian beliefs, Hindus, Muslims and no doubt an atheist or two. Save it for a more fitting forum.

Who's the rat?

Hey! in the spirit of Pitxu starting a new give a way thread let's bury the hatchet on this & let this thread burn up & die!

 

[dexdog]

Pitxu, this is good news-Thanks!

 

[gb hill]

I am most happy to tell you all that Raid has PMed me with his promise to return.🙂




(He did give me permission to say publicly the contents of his PM)

Best news I have read all day. Thanks Pitxu.

 

[P. Lynn Miller]

I hope that is true...

Best news of the day.

 

[MickH]

I hope that is true...

Best news of the day.

Why on earth would you doubt it?

I, for one, am very chuffed.

Forgive my lack of knowldege regarding the English language... but is this a good thing? 😕

 

[35mmdelux]

blah, blah .. In addition to being rather nonsensical, your statement is just as rude as the rudeness you decry on the forum.

chill out man.

 

[MickH]

Ed,

I do apologise.

Let me be clear on this. Most of my contributions to this Forum tend to fall into one or two categories: Jokey one liners in any thread aiming for cheap laughs, or appreciation of the high standard of photography exhibited in the Gallery which prompts me to post regularly in the Gallery Picks thread. I respect many of the contributors here. Raid for his open hearted and knowledgeable approach to photography, Pitxu for his artistry and friendliness, Jon Claremont for his wit and many others for their artistry and enthusiasm. So, when I say I am chuffed I mean that I am very pleased that Raid is to rejoin us and that Richard is the one who informed us.

Ah, now Mr. Rogers can take off his sweater again. All is happy in the neighborhood.

 

[splitimageview]

All's swell that ends swell.

Interesting... a term I haven't heard before. Thanks, that made my day. I try to learn something new each day!

 

[MickH]

Chuffed = very pleased.
Dead chuffed = very very pleased.
Chuffed to bits = very very very pleased.

 

[RayPA]

Just a minute.

That WAS my thread.
I opened it in the "Members only" forum to share with my friends.
I asked for shipping cost and no more.

Those were all the rules necessary.

My error is in being a socialist.
I forgot about capitalist, consumer greed and avarice and jealousy. Sorry, we don't have that over here.

....

Thank you,

Richard.

...and yet you start another give-away thread using the evil capitalist greed-ridden forum! :bang: after calling your friends greedy jealous capitalists. 😕

[Fred Burton]

Oh, come on, this is getting silly. Perhaps we should all join in a round of Kumbaya.

 

[RayPA]

Call me a fool Ray, I'm just a hopeless romantic and natural giver.

I was actually more reminded of Homer Simpson endlessly walking into the same wall and repeating "Doh!". 🙂 A lack of foresight and common sense (and accountability). Nothing wrong with being a hopeless romantic, and the spirit of giving is obviously coming from a good place. 😉 Have fun!

[Fred Burton]

That's the phrase I was looking for. Lack of accountability.
