No, it will never happen, that kind of logic will never work. I think the
expression you use over there is something like, "you're being taken for a
sucker".

It's a matter of practicality; and it's hopeless. Douglas has
demonstrated he can't resist posting tripe, jibes and worse, nor can a
few others either in response or just to get back.

Jumping on Douglas only makes it worse. Keep talking about the whole
thing makes it worse, and I swore a few days ago I was done. I hope I am
now.

Too true, but I get tired of hearing a bully whine when his targets
don't roll over and die... so I start bully-bashing. Most of the
words, and all of the logic, are futile, but once Douggie learns

Willa

You're crowing a bit early there Willa.
Not everyone is glued to their PC waiting for the next exciting instalment
of Willa's magic picture show. So... Seeing as you seem to be as big a kook
as the moron who targets me. I thought I'd invite some opinions from those
who know! Who knows, maybe I'm the kook for expecting the right of reply to
someone who has defamed me slandered me and posted lie after lie about me...

Mark Thomas - no, Hang on. It was ("Me? I'm just and always
will be") Charles Stevens in the beginning ...has been trolling me for
nearly 4 years with his lies and defamation. You seem to think I should stop
highlighting his disgusting bullying and let any newbie you and your ilk
haven't drive off, believe his bullying. WRONG! I'll pursue the ******* to
the grave mate. Block me in your killfile. You won't need to be bothered by
my return attacks on one of Usenet's worst bullies.

Of course you could always let it ride and get in for a bit of head kicking
yourself. You seem to have the routine pretty well worked out.

Just as a thought Willa, could you post a copy of the sale contract you got
when you bought the newsgroup? I'd love to see how you beat Google to the
punch and got to own your own personal thread in a public forum. Hi-jacking
threads seems to be something plenty of people do to me but something I
should shiver in my boots about when it's your thread. Read my lips,
Willa......................

Nothing I said about the ******'s photos was wrong. Nothing I said about his
disgusting behaviour was incorrect yet you and the Atheist MONKey seem to
think I'm the loony for defending myself by attacking him. Wrong again,
Willa. It's the only proven-to-work method of dealing with bullies. If I
knew who he was or what his gripe is, I'd handle it personally but he knows
as long as he stays a coward and hides his identity, no one will come
forward to collect the $500AUD cash reward I've been offering for 2 years,
for his real identity. Either his friends are all so incredably wealthy I
need to up the offer or he hasn't got any because he doesn't exist.

On more thing. When he posted a reply to you with his links to pictures that
are so bad, it just had to get a response from someone... *YOUR* thread, was
successfully hi-jacked and when I replied, it no longer was *YOUR* thread,
but his. You'll get used to his behaviour soon enough. You might notice he
doesn't post too many original messages, just does a bash up on people who
do. Typical behaviour of a bully.

Out of the mouths of slackwits: precisely the reason people keep
calling you out.

You're right, I haven't been in this group for 4 years, so maybe Mark
and countless others have behaved poorly in the past, and maybe if
you posted actual proof (not just accusations) I'd believe you; but I
*have* had my eyes open as long as I've been here, and I have seen,
repeatedly, how lame your behavior is. Even if everyone else is
being a ******, that doesn't prove that you aren't as well, and it
doesn't excuse your behavior. Can I stop you from behaving like an
ass? No, of course not. But everytime you deny acting like an ass,
I'll happily pipe up "Doug, you're being an ass again". Deny it all
you want, we've all seen it.

DYBAAA. Has a nice ring to it.

What "crowing"? I posted a link to some of my pics, some people
responded, I engaged in some pleasant conversations with those people
regarding my *and their* pics, and a good time was had by all. I
haven't bragged once, unless "crowing" means something else in your
idiom.

And now I'm a "kook"? Why, because I only bash people who display
poor behavior? Doug, for the time I've been in here, you have
consistently been the most poorly behaved person here (people, if we
count your socks). Have others said foolish things? Sure. Have
others said mean, or even downright offensive things? Yup. But you
have been, by a country mile, the biggest boor here. Sling all the
mud you want, I know what I know.

I don't need to killfile you, even if I *could* KF the multitude that
is Douggie (wasn't it a demon who said "we are legion"?), your posts
(sorry, "replies") serve as an effective reminder that many people on
this planet are ****ing crazy. Now, if I could figure out how to
"crazyfile" you...


"Hi-jacking threads seems to be something plenty of people do to
me but something I should shiver in my boots about when it's your
thread."

So, it's *not* okay when people do it to *you*, but it's a-okay when
*you* do it to *others*? In fact, you're admitting you hijacked my
thread. Funny Doug, I'm just asking you to interact with me by the
same rules you demand of others... yet you aren't able to. Don't
worry though, Douggie, I won't stop posting and run off to pout
because you hijacked my thread. I'll keep posting as if you don't
exist, and people will or won't respond as they see fit, and will or
won't look at my pics as they see fit, and will or won't enjoy my
pics, and I won't ask any more of them but polite behavior. So far,
you're the only person that's been rude to me. Fancy that!

In point of fact Douggie, some of your critiques were wrong: "40%
blocked up shadows" I believe was one phrase... ever heard of a
silhouette? Or a low key photo? Ditto with "40% blown highlights",
which is a high key photo. The artistic decision to blow the shadows
to make a silhouette is at least as valid as the artistic decision to
blow the highlights in a bride's dress. Doh! Did I say that out
loud?

And BTW Douggie, maybe everybody else here is hesitant to call you
out on your offensively bad wedding schlock, er, "photos", but I've
shot 2 weddings as an amateur, and though I don't claim mine are
professional quality, I can safely state my opinion that neither are
yours. You have posted some nice shots, don't get me wrong, but
you've posted so many dogs, you probably need a kennel license.

So, when Mark replied to my post, and offered a link to posts of his
own, he bullied me by stealing my thread?!?!?! Dude, Douggie, your
signature has a link to a lame "we're all bullied" site, which means
by the same logic, every time you post you take over a thread, even
your own OP!

It's called "conversation": one person speaks, another responds, the
first or maybe a third says something else, etc. There was no name-
calling until you jumped in, and the critiques and comments were
useful and interesting until you spoke up.

Even if all us ******s broke all of the top 10 rules of photos
(please list them), at least we didn't follow your lead and break the
#1 rule for wedding photographers: never make the bride look ugly.
#2 of course, is never make the bride's or groom's mother look ugly.
You rebel you, breaking the top rules with such abandon!

C'mon Douggie, put up or shut up: post more pics. If you're the
master, shows us plebes how it's done. I haven't seen many of yours
yet that I could learn a positive lesson from. Plenty of "don'ts",
though, certainly.

Yours oh so cordially,

Willa
(The bully-basher basher.)

Somewhat off-topic.. although it refers to high key and low key
imaging, along with the difference between blocked shadows and
silhouettes - something Douiglas doesn't understand.

Just curious - what sort of expert would say that a silhouetted, low-
key image has 'blocked shadows'? Guess it would be the same one that
said a high-key image had blown highlights (referring to specular
highlights anyway).

A reminder - this is the same 'expert' that posted these:

Fine examples of his exposure control skills - on images that are
neither silhouettes or high key.

Keep diggin', Dougie.

You should really stop at that point Douggie, because it's the closest
thing to the truth you've yet posted.

I'll pursue the ******* to
the grave mate.

'Course you will, tiger. And turn his world a pretty shade of pink
into the bargain since it's been well over 12 hours since he failed to
apologise for being a big meanie to you.

Block me in your killfile. You won't need to be bothered by
my ...

.... "petulant and inane foot stamping", I believe that should have
read.

And that will only work until you decide on a new name for yourself,
or make up another imaginary friend. Maybe your imaginary Samoan cook
can start posting in your defence?

Of course you could always let it ride and get in for a bit of head kicking
yourself. You seem to have the routine pretty well worked out.

Yes. Somebody posts the rather self-evident fact that you're a lying
idiot. Your head spins at 3,000 RPM, blood shoots out of your ears,
and you put finger to keyboard in a barely literate, much less
coherent, stream of invective. Sorry, ATTEMPTED invective. You see
that as a "head kicking". Everyone else sees it as someone who never
made a successful assault on Mt. Puberty via which MOST people learn
basic social skills.

Read my lips,
Willa......................

Allow me... "WIBBWEWIBBWEWIBBWEWIBBWE-DROOL-WIBBWE!"

If I
knew who he was

M.a.r.k. T.h.o.m.a.s, Douggie.

or what his gripe is,

Maybe he just doesn't LIKE dysfunctional, lying lunatics who change
their identities more often than they change their underwear, and who
take mediocre photographs yet think that they're God's gift to the
camera. Y'know, some people are just funny that way, Douggie.

I'd handle it personally

"I am Douggie, hear me meow..."

but he knows
as long as he stays a coward and hides his identity, no one will come
forward to collect the $500AUD cash reward

Uh, Douggie? If he hadn't "hidden his identity" as you claim, and you
therefore knew his name and address and so on, why would anyone NEED
to claim the "reward"?

I've been offering for 2 years,
for his real identity. Either his friends are all so incredably wealthy I
need to up the offer

Yes, because that's what true friends do in the real world Douggie;
turn over details of their friends to habitual liars and head-cases on
the Internet for 500 miserable bucks. Of course, that's probably just
an issue of perspective, since that's the only type of "friend" that
you yourself can attract aside from the imaginary ones.

or he hasn't got any because he doesn't exist.

Now THERE'S a disturbing thought Douggie! Could it be that in addition
to making up your friends, supporters and legal team... your fevered
brain is making up your "bullies" as well?!

I would have turned a little so the front and rear stamen were not
aligned with the pistil. (probably got those terms wrong...). A little
more DOF? A spritz of cliché, er, water...
