MarkČ, you have an incredibly short memory, don't you? Trying to make out I'm a nutter because I prompted you about this moth you claim to know zero about. http://www.pbase.com/markuson/image/47903081/original. Didn't know about archives? Tell me Mark... Is this one of your pictures or not? Answer yes and I'll open up a whole vista to any readers left in this thread to a psycho who make a habit of baiting people and then attempting to make out they are somehow mistaken about who you are, what you said and when you said it... and your motives. Nice try moron. You the MarkČ who wrote me (in 2005) pointing out spelling mistakes on my web site. Yet now you say you never did. Worse you are attempting to create an impression that I am the nutter when it's you who are on the fringe of losing your grasp on sanity. You really do need to have a good memory to be a liar MarkČ. You need a far better memory than me to try your mind games and have any hope in hell of succeeding... "Artist Mark" Bull**** artist Mark perhaps. What about this lot? Boy, you must upset a lot of people mate. Quite a controversial fellow. -------------- Thread starts off with this classic... "This individual has a (not so) hidden Pbase gallery with photos of little kids in very suspicious poses. This man is a pervert, and he is not to be trusted." ------------- Your response? " Kids being kids...captured on-camera at their school as a favor (sic) to their teacher and their families/relatives around the country. I'll be taking this innocent gallery down shortly anyway--since the gallery doesn't seem to be viewed by their class/families anymore...but for you idiot trolls out there... .....Here's to egg on your face!! Totally innocent pictures of little kids at their school. --Nice try. -Mark" God man... What were you thinking when you decided to post pictures of other people's young (female) children on pbase? You really are danger to yourself and everyone you come in contact with. How about this for an informed response? From Mat Clara "You were completely guessing what my setup is". Your reply when caught out on this? "Well excuuuuuuuse (sic) me! What the heck?! Are you in a bad mood today or what?? " -- Very informed and apologetic reply from Mark Morgan, eh? You have a very long history of being a loud mouth and when you get caught out... Behaving very badly as if it somehow excuses your disgusting behaviour... Nothing excuses your stupidity or your behaviour. Floundering around in a sea of whiskey trying to outsmart me is going to bring you grief. Stop it now. Get off my case or I'll open my archives on you to anyone who is interested in deciding which of us is the lunatic. ----------------------------------------- |

But you said Maui. Ya, that's a moth. So what? Tell me Mark... Is this one of your pictures or not? Answer yes and I'll open up a whole vista to any readers left in this thread to a psycho who make a habit of baiting people and then attempting to make out they are somehow mistaken about who you are, what you said and when you said it... and your motives. Nice try moron. I really don't see what you're worked up about, Doug. It's a moth picture I took in near darkness. So what? You the MarkČ who wrote me (in 2005) pointing out spelling mistakes on my web site. Yet now you say you never did. Uh...No. You said I correct usenet posts, which I do not. If you have the silly notion to go back and check (whevever the heck that was), I think you'll find that I made the suggestion of a correction on your site as a favor to you. NOTE: Anyone who runs a business-based web-site should ALWAYS be glad to discover mistakes like that. Your first interest should be making a good impression, so if anything, Doug, you shouldn't become angry when someone alerts you to that kind of mistake. Sure even you can appreciate the difference between a commercial web-site...and usenet. Worse you are attempting to create an impression that I am the nutter when it's you who are on the fringe of losing your grasp on sanity. I needn't "create that impression," Doug I call it like I see it. You don't have to agree. You really do need to have a good memory to be a liar MarkČ. You need a far better memory than me to try your mind games and have any hope in hell of succeeding... "Artist Mark" Bull**** artist Mark perhaps. I've never referred to myself as an artist, and haven't even applied adjectives to myself that would imply that. What about this lot? Boy, you must upset a lot of people mate. Quite a controversial fellow. -------------- Thread starts off with this classic... "This individual has a (not so) hidden Pbase gallery with photos of little kids in very suspicious poses. This man is a pervert, and he is not to be trusted." That was posted by a troll, Doug (as you well know). You, of all people, shouldn't be promoting the actions of trolls--perhaps the same troll who you took issue with. ------------- Your response? " Kids being kids...captured on-camera at their school as a favor (sic) to their teacher and their families/relatives around the country. I'll be taking this innocent gallery down shortly anyway--since the gallery doesn't seem to be viewed by their class/families anymore...but for you idiot trolls out there... ....Here's to egg on your face!! Totally innocent pictures of little kids at their school. --Nice try. -Mark" Actually, what I did at that time was to simply remove the password from that particular gallery. But the whole idea would have only be believed by a person such as yourself...who is apparently so gullible that anything a troll posts...is believed or taken seriously. This helps me understand why you went after some guy some troll some time back...offering rewards, etc., **because you apparently think everyone who reads usenet is as gullible as you. Pbase offers passwords for just such a situation--to help parents limit access to their kid's pictures, or whatever other reason people see a need for. It's interesting that you like to mention your dislike of being tailed by that troll some time back, and yet here you are promoting the actions of that same (or similar) troll. So you've taken offense at me...and what do you do? You point to troll posts implying illegal things about me. I would suggest that if you want to combat TRUE trolls...that you avoid posting things like this. God man... What were you thinking when you decided to post pictures of other people's young (female) children on pbase? When they ask me to...as they did. You really are danger to yourself and everyone you come in contact with. How about this for an informed response? From Mat Clara "You were completely guessing what my setup is". Your reply when caught out on this? "Well excuuuuuuuse (sic) me! What the heck?! Are you in a bad mood today or what?? " What's your point...and what on EARTH do you hope to accomplish by hashing through years-old posts? -- Images (Plus Snaps & Grabs) by MarkČ at: www.pbase.com/markuson |

So...
You have another approach for someone targeting you with insults over a long, long period of time because their feeble mind cannot comprehend a process I helped pioneer? Let 'em do it, possibly? Not likely. What if I told someone publicly that you had no credibility in your occupation? How would handle the prick when he's on the other side of the world? It didn't matter that I sent example prints to people who participate in the groups. He just changed his tack and kept spouting insults because HE didn't have any qualifications to pass judgment and never got any examples enlargements. He is like way too many cowardly people on Usenet who carry on with appalling behaviour, comfortable in the knowledge their insults and jibes will never prompt a confrontation in person. If this moron said to anyone in a face to face conversation what he says from hiding, he's spend more time in hospital than on his computer. I'll happily leave it be but I'll never put up with the likes of him heaping **** on me. He has no qualifications to do it, no right to do it and no brains doing it either. Tell me an alternative way to handle him and I will. Otherwise... This is how I respond to feeble minded morons who insults me because I once made a claim he didn't believe. How pathetic. Every day (now that it's common practice) people enlarge postcard size images and print them on canvas. When I said a few years ago I could do it and refused to elaborate on the algorithm, he and a equally idiotic mark got on their soapbox and began what has become a tirade of belittling insults because they didn't believe it possible. It is and every day of the year it's done by other canvas printers all over the world. You have a problem with that, suggest an alternative. Nothing else has worked and I'm not about to give up my right to participate (and provide useful process information) in these groups because of the actions of three zealots with no brains. Mark Morgan is just one of them. "J. Clarke" wrote in message news : On Sun, 21 Jan 2007 23:47:00 GMT, "Douglas" : wrote: |

Let 'em do it, possibly? A *collection* of people have criticized you over the years. If you're legitimate, then your work will speak for itself, and the comments of a few dozen usenet posters won't amount to anything more than the same opinions all professionals must take in stride. You jumped down the throat of the OP here in this thread, and I stuck up for him. Big deal. Not likely. Why not? What other professions are immune to criticism? I don't know of ANY. Do you? What if I told someone publicly that you had no credibility in your occupation? Every profession is subject to criticism, Douglas. If you keep making "questionable statements," then by definition, you shouldn't be surprised that some question them. Surely you don't think the way you're carrying on here lends you more credibility...do you? -- Images (Plus Snaps & Grabs) by MarkČ at: www.pbase.com/markuson |

Off topic.
Douglas wrote: So... You have another approach for someone targeting you with insults over a long, long period of time because their feeble mind cannot comprehend a process I helped pioneer? I suppose this is yet another reference to Douglas' magical interpolation 'algorythm', that our 'feeble' brains cannot comprehend. It is the algorythm that: - he lied about (he showed 'results' that he claimed were enlarged when they were demonstrably *reduced*) - he claimed added *real* detail (see quotes below), using the analogy of CSI-type processing that would bring up those satellite image number plates all nice and clear..(O: (but he showed no examples, of course...) - he refused to demonstrate or have tested on *any* sample image (because, of course, he said it would result in it being reverse engineered!) (and no, not even a scan of a print..) - he misquoted and/or misrepresented comments by people like Gisle Hannemyr, Gordon Moat and even our local Colin D, all of whom have had to post 'corrections' on Douglas' wild claims. Some of these people were quite positive about his large prints, but none saw original files, nor any evidence of the 'algorythm's 'magic'. I don't dispute Douglas can, occasionally, do a nice print - I've seen them at his market stall. Some were ok, but he (or his photographers) clearly have problems with dynamic range, colour balance and focus, and he needs glasses if he thinks they show more than about 150 dpi real detail. They are exactly what I would expect (or worse) from the sort of 6-8Mp files he uses to create them, and they are mostly printed on quite roughly textured canvas - eeurrgh.. By the way, I think Colin D is still waiting on an apology from Doug - see "20D LIKES IT HOT !" And Annika and others are still waiting for Doug to prove he has/had a 1DS MkII - see "D-Mac, I'm calling you out!" What if I told someone publicly that you had no credibility in your occupation? How would handle the prick when he's on the other side of the world? First, I would refrain from the gutter language and angry insults.. And what do other *credible* people do when people question their claims? - they prove them wrong. Mike Chaney (QImage), Gisle Hannemyr, Bart van der Wolf and many many others simply post *verifiable* samples. Douglas knows you can't reverse engineer from a sample crop, but he needs an excuse. It didn't matter that I sent example prints to people who participate in the groups. Douglas sent one to Colin D. He said it was nice, but he had no original image to test and disputed many of Douglas' comments - and he is now waiting for that apology. He sent others to Gordon Moat. He said they were nice too, but then made it very clear that you could not manufacture detail as Douglas claims. Gordon posted here to clarify his statements and point out Douglas' untruths. - see "Enlarging digital images - examples". Anyone can check these threads (in rec.photo.equipment.35mm). Doug can try to pull his *webpages* quickly and pretend they never existed, but these threads are archived in many locations. Douglas promised samples to others, including Gisle, Annika, Avery and some others I believe, but they never happened - he claimed that addresses went astray, etc... A request from Mike Russell (Curvemeister) to get an enlargement done of one of his images also resulted in Douglas disappearing rapidly. Uhuh... He just changed his tack and kept spouting insults because HE didn't have any qualifications to pass judgment and never got any examples enlargements. Then why didn't Douglas just ignore him, and why hasn't he ever posted proof? The reverse engineering claim has zero credibility. He is like way too many cowardly people on Usenet who carry on with appalling behaviour, comfortable in the knowledge their insults and jibes will never prompt a confrontation in person. If this moron said to anyone in a face to face conversation what he says from hiding, he's spend more time in hospital than on his computer. How apt - note that throughout this thread, the insults and threats are all coming from just one very hypocritical source... I'll happily leave it be but I'll never put up with the likes of him heaping **** on me. He has no qualifications to do it, no right to do it and no brains doing it either. Tell me an alternative way to handle him and I will. Otherwise... This is how I respond to feeble minded morons who insults me because I once made a claim he didn't believe. How pathetic. Every day (now that it's common practice) people enlarge postcard size images and print them on canvas. Yup. And they *look* like over-enlarged postcard images, they show no 'added real detail'. And on some types of images (large macro shots of flowers are a good example), they might be quite passable if you don't get close. But what exactly did Douglas say? These are Douglas' words, quoted exactly: ===== Quote from "Enlarged digital images with more detail than the original", comp.graphics.apps.photoshop Pictorial evidence that it is indeed possible to enlarge a digital image which has a normal print size of 6.5" x 10" at 300 dpi, to 24" x 36" poster print with 720 dpi and still maintain the same sharpness and detail - even adding detail which was never there in the first place. ===== Read that carefully. He claims that a 6x10 image at 300 dpi (a big postcard!), becomes a 24x36 at 720 (?!) dpi with the "same sharpness and detail", and even clarifies it - "adding detail that was never there.." 6Mp becomes 447Mp, with *new* detail. Uhuh. Now if you read what he said carefully, you *could* possibly interpret "the same level of detail" to mean he has added nothing but interpolated pixels, but isn't that stating the absolutely bleeding obvious? Remember, it's in a thread that is titled "Enlarged digital images with more detail than the original"... Noone disputes that he *can* enlarge something to ridiculous sizes - anyone can. What we do argue about is what the result will look like. And of course none of the samples he has sent around have been enlarged from a postcard.. have they, Douglas? (O; When I said a few years ago I could do it and refused to elaborate on the algorithm, he and a equally idiotic mark got on their soapbox and began what has become a tirade of belittling insults because they didn't believe it possible. It is and every day of the year it's done by other canvas printers all over the world. Repeating a straw man (just like the other one about me thieving your images, or Mark2's moth - like what the heck is that about??) doesn't make him any less flammable. If Douglas read the paragraphs above again, and again, until it finally sunk in, then maybe he might actually start to debate the real issue. Nobody said he couldn't do it - it was the added detail and level of sharpness that was at issue. You have a problem with that, suggest an alternative. Nothing else has worked Being truthful, and posting real verifiable examples would work fine. But Douglas cannot seem to do either of those. and I'm not about to give up my right to participate (and provide useful process information) in these groups because of the actions of three zealots with no brains. Mark Morgan is just one of them. At last count it was significantly more than 3 who dispute Douglas' claims, which have run the gamut from enlargement, to perspective (and more non-existent algorythms to control it), to depth of field calculations, to dynamic range, to comparisons of prosumers to medium format... and on all these he has tripped and fallen over his own words. Since his return about a week ago, I see Douglas has *already* had arguments with at least 6 different people. Thank heavens he has me killfiled! Douglas of course has every right to participate and make his comments, *as does everyone else*. (O: |
