It is wrong to "target" someone because they have the guts to share an honest opinion and we should all respect each others right to that end.

They remind me of each other. Same posting style.
BTW I know Photobod took this the wrong way, but if he had of actually asked he'd have found out that Steven is a mutual friend of ours and none of us were teasing or whatever.We actually like Steven... so no offense intended.
Now, I'm not sure if there was some other posts that have been deleted, but I just want to say, if you suspect teasing/insults going on, you might want to actually check and see before posting some thinly veiled thread about how badly others have treated you. It might turn out you were wrong... the internet is the wrong place to jump to conclusions.
Lets be real here... When you see these postings...

It's pretty easy to take this the way he took it (especially knowing your sarcastic condescending sense of humor, and especially when vipergts makes a little laughing face after his agreement comment). From the outside looking in, and nobody but you guys knowing steve, it didnt look good. You called him out to 2 different people w/out specifying what you were talking about. It shouldn't be photobods responsibility to have to ask how you meant it, it should be the responsibility of the person posting, at the time of posting the comment, to mention that who ever you are comparing him to is a good likable guy and you dont mean it in a derogatory way (if that's really how you intend it). He can't read your mind. You gotta understand in your original comparison comment, w/out an explanation of why you are comparing the 2, people are gonna look at that conversation as shady. It just looked bad and i know alot of other people took it that way also and for good reason. Your intentions may be harmless, but it's really easy to misunderstand people through text messaging and not pick up on how they mean things because you cannot pick up on emotion that it was said with. When i type something, i always re-read it and try to put myself in the recipients position... to make sure i worded everything correctly.
Big picture - It's all kind of silly.. There are overly sensitive people in the world and there are overly sarcastic people who will say whatever w/out giving a damn... We need to take everything w/a grain of salt and also be careful how we come off to other people. It's just basic forum etiquette.
I bet he comes back... his page is not deleted yet.

Good observation Karl. Hopefully he comes back. It was actually a compliment but i see how some could see it the other way around. Personally i would have made light of it by just saying "I hope the comparison is a good thing" and laughing it off.

The idea of a forum is that you can ask for any type of information. All he had to do was ask. It's getting be a little absurd.

I just got my big stopper in. Did Julian say anything about getting his LEE kit for his 14-24?
Finally! Ive heard the wait is rediculous! I havent heard him say anything about that yet. I know for sure once he does get it an announcement will come.
The wait is pretty crazy, i'm still waiting for the lee foundation kit to hold the thing on my cam.
Its insane how high the demand is and they just cant keep up with it. SMH
Im looking forward to the macbook or imac refresh coming up. Ill be purchasing either one depending on how i feel on that day
