It was Dog that brought this to the forum instead of keeping it to private emails. |

No - not dishonest. Naive perhaps. Foolish maybe... ....but my annoying comments are honest, if nothing else. It keeps me off the streets. Why?

I'm on the streets every day, with a camera in a pouch on my belt... in my hand if a scene captures my fancy. If you don't like reading my tussles with Doug then - here's an idea - don't read them. No-one's forcing you. Hey! I admit this is a less-than-noble fight. That doesn't mean I should have to give it up and concede the high ground to a low-life. -- Jeff R. (annoying usenet since 2004) |

The problem with rolling around with pigs in the mud is that eventually one begins to identify with and behave more and more like the pigs. These s-slinging sessions are harmful to the group and it is the good of the group that should be on everyone's minds. Ignore the trolls and they have a habit of disappearing and people can discuss more relevant and useful things. And learn more about photography and equipment. Certainly nobody is learning anything _useful_ in the endless battle with D-Mac. |

Time to trot out some relevant doggerel: 'Twas the pig fair last September, the day I well remember I was walking up and down in drunken pride When my knees began to flutter and I sank down in the gutter And a pig came up and lay down by my side. As I sat there in the gutter, thinking thoughts I could not utter I thought I heard a passing lady say "You can tell the man who boozes by the company he chooses" And with that the pig got up and walked away. -- Found--the gene that causes belief in genetic determinism |

For years now Douggie has been posting outright lies about his pics, his equipent, photographic processes, his businesses, his galleries, me ..... not to mention posting them under 100s of aliases so he cannot be killfiled. And you accept all that Who says I accept it? I don't give a **** about how many lies Doug tells, what his business interests are, or what equipment he does or does not own. It doesn't affect me - or anyone here - in the slightest. It's not like he's Bernie Madoff asking you invest in his schemes. The only reason anyone should be concerned about what Doug writes is if something Doug is doing directly affects them...and that's not happening. and object to Jeff trying to expose him for his lies? You think Jeff is on some crusade to expose Doug? Are you that ****ing stupid? Doug's been posting in these newsgroups for quite some time. People have already made up their minds about Doug. Jeff isn't some sort of investigative newsgroup journalist that is going to turn up any new revelations that are going to expose Doug. Jeff's posting to amuse himself until it gets dark and he can lock himself in the bathroom wank off in a different way. Well **** D-Mac. He needs to be exposed for the fraud that he is Needs to be exposed? Do you mean you're still not sure if he's a fraud and you want some further evidence? You still on the fence about Doug and want him exposed so you can make up your mind? Are you afraid that if Jeff and the others ignore Doug that you'll start to believe him or invite him over for 'possum stew? and I applaud Jeff, Athiest Chaplain, Colin, Mark Thomas, Charles Stevens, Helen, and everyone else who does so. Fat lot of good they're doing. The people who *don't* mention Doug in any post and don't reply to Doug are doing far more good. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |
