Don't feed the troll. When he doesn't get what he wants (which is us paying attention to him instead of exhanging darkroom techniques and information) he'll go elsewhere. Meantime, you're helping him bypass killfiles, and making things worse instead of better. I never could stand it when I saw a group picking on orphans or cripples, I have to say there has been a lot of humor generated here. Perhaps there would have to be a tip of the hat to the instigator, in that he has showed some grasp of a portion of the field. He is persistent in his thrusts. In the end, he is wrong. His crusade is to turn an overwhelming majority, including real experts, against themselves, or, at least, their former beliefs. Talk about a no win effort! I'd put my money on Don Quixote first. Beliefs? Then you admit Zonaziism is a belief system, not a photographic system. The big problem for him and us is that he is so irrational in his neediness that he can't get enough. Feeding him just makes him expect more. So, starvation my be the most humane procedure we can apply here. It will, at least, give him the option to cease and leave intact, rather than get into some serious trouble down the road. You do realize, of course, that I am on a crusade against Zonaziism. |

The place where every idiot with an internet-capable computer can post stuff. I think your expectations are just a wee bit too high for this venue.

I've never relished picking on runts or social outcasts- Hey I am one and I do maintain a sense of compassion_ and humor (most important). I think I could be convinced to make an exception however. I any event I suspect you will hear screams of agony from Ur-(OUR) anus commie, if people post around his drivel. Never the less some will feel the need to address him direct out of pity. Last year when it was suggested to kill file him in unison a lot of negative feedback, seems like times have changed. The question is, will it be for the better? -- ? ? ? ? LOL |

Ovens huh;
To make light of so much suffering openly and without sense of remorse. You truly are a piece of human crap. Maybe you just need a good shrink. -- LF Website @ http://members.verizon.net/~gregoryblank "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918 |
