Growing Popularity of RFF

[back alley]

But sometimes RFF can get just a bit too chummy for me.
It's supposed to a forum, not a mutual admiration society...

Chris

what's your ideal forum chris?
just curious.

I guess, Chris may refer to cheerleading some people instead of stricter critique and blander comments. PhotoNet has such a ultra critical Leica Forum from which many RFF have migrated to. Insults and/or sarcasm are not abnormal "there". People are different, and it is better to have different types of sites to accomodate different tastes and endurance levels.

Maybe I am mistaken here.

Not trying to speak for Chris but there are a lot of threads in which we discuss how great we (RFF) are ...

It's been a while since the last "I'm done" thread 😀

 

[back alley]

i was just about to start one rollie as i think i actually might be done now!

😉

 

[FrankS]

Gee, I'm sorry if those threads bother anyone. Read what you want.

 

[back alley]

it's all in fun frank!

 

[FrankS]

I knew that. 🙂

Wholeheartedly agree. The heavy hand of censorship here stifles debate like a layer of sago. Controversy is not a sin. Lively debate informs and stimulates. This is a forum not a reading room. By all means nip personal attacks in the bud, but let other weeds come to fruition.

Bill

I agree with these notions, especially about the allusion to a layer of sago 🙂 So, Bill, I see you and I have similar set ups....you just need to lose that m7 and we'll be UK and Canuck mirror images gear-wise. Don't burst the bubble on this symmetrical theory and tell me you are going to hang on to body that has AE!!! 😉 good cheer, thomasw.

OK, Frank, I shall stay away from threads posted by the forum owner in the RFF News 🙂

It might be a cultural thing, you know.

After I moved to California, a German friend once told me:

He: Roland, so now you have to do it se American way
Me: How is that ?
He: Do good .........

.......... and speak about it ! 😀

Cheers,

Roland.

Roland: It would not be cheerleading to state that your contributions on RFF are "good" for the site. 😀

I think everyone on these photo sites knows the difference between respectful disagreement and The Jerry Springer Show 😉

Do you mean that statistics cannot tell the whole truth?

David

David,
Mathematicians never got over the fact that Statisticians are higher paid than Mathematicians. It simply refelcts the usefulness of the knowledge. 😀

Stewart,

Statisticians provide politicians with information; the politicians either use the information, use it, or "modify" it and then use it.

That’s good, the thought politicians got corrupt data in the first place…….well, I wouldn’t be able to sleep!

Ich glaube nur an Statistiken, die ich selber gefaelscht habe 🙂

So, how many statisticians does it take to change a light bulb?

1 +- 2 * sigma ?

Mein Lieber Herr Ferider,
Ich bewundere Ihre gefaelschte Statistiken!
Ja Ja und nochmals Ja!😀


Roland,

You're playing safe ...

edited: many people have a hard time saying the word "statistics".
Now say it in German.
