Helen Hill finally says Ciao ... it's been Fun

[helen.HH]

A note of Thanks to ALL, time for me to move on for Good
Lots will be Happy, Lots will be Sad 😉

Putting it in writing and sharing so no silly gossip ensues...

Sent this to Stephen today...

"Funny You Can ban Huss ... a good contributor overall
and Ko.fe too
But keep Bart Bart an out right racist
who is selling his gear today in the classifieds
and Suggest bringing back Ned who can be quite rude and not nice to women (me in particular)

I will respect your decisions , this is your site and You know what’s best for your business ...


Time for me to move on happily
This time for good ~

Have lost respect for You.

Cheers & Best ~ Helen"

What a sad loss to RFF, Jesus!

Oh no, this is a very bad news, RFF without Helen is no more the same place.

Not sure what happened and not clear why, but even respecting Helen's decision I do really hope she changes idea...

Is there an announcement about Huss? I wasn’t aware. He always answered my posts and I valued his thoughts, eg on camera scanning, and of course on C200!

 

[Mr_Flibble]

Sorry to see you go, Helen.

I wish you happy photographic travels, and perhaps we'll meet again on another photography related board in the future.

 

[xavyr]

Well, this is depressing. Words fail.

Entirely justified, mind, when enough is enough - but depressing.

Hope to keep seeing you on Flickr.

 

[valdas]

And I was wondering were are those developed negatives of new Lomo Babylon that Huss was about to post...
That’s really sad about Helen and Huss... And if that’s because of his Pixii comments then I am completely lost...

 

[robert blu]

When active members of this community are banned it would be interesting to know why...or am I wrong?

Helen and Huss have always been propositive not only in terms of photography but of ideas as well.

 

[Dogman]

I'm at a loss....

 

[CharlesDAMorgan]

Words fail me.

When no action was taken against a neo-Nazi, I thought actively about whether continuation here was consistent with my principles. I can see today that it isn't, and I'm off too. I can see no reason related to the rules of this site that justify removing a member like Huss.

Thanks for all the help and support and friendship, but no more.

 

[pyeh]

Gee this thread is all bad news. HH, Huss, CharlesDA, the rehabilitation of Ned, the continued forbearance of Bart Bart, incredible.

 

[helen.HH]

Out of town till next week
So keep your eyes open on The Classifieds
some leica Gear will go up next week, Cool

 

[retinax]

I have no idea what happened. The impression that this community isn't stable and that banning could happen anytime to anyone can't be in anyone's interest. No matter how legitimate such a decision may be, that's the impression created if there's no official statement from you, Stephen. It would be great for this community if there was transparency about this banning business.
Helen, if your decision is made, ok, if not, do consider that this place is the community more than anything else.

 

[Out to Lunch]

A few moments ago, you'd left RFF, never to return.

This time for good ~

So keep your eyes open on The Classifieds

Apparently, not.

 

[Benjamin Marks]

Awwww, no. Helen: always enjoyed your whimsy and every one of your posts I have read. I will be very sorry not to "see" you around here.

Ben

 

[Guth]

This hurts.

 

[Guth]

do consider that this place is the community more than anything else.

I believe that is exactly Helen's point.

Haha, so typical of You Dear
Know wonder why Stephen has banned You in the Recent past, oops did I say that

Always the prankster OTL

I just did this thread
So there are no misconceptions, gossip
and when I return Home next week will shoot gear and put up for sale

Then Gone . 😉
Unless Stephen bans Me ... I will take my chances. :angel:

 

[retinax]

Well the community can't ban anyone here, for better or worse.
