Ime out of here

Glad to see everyone approaching this situation like the adults we are- hate to see anyone leave due to discord. Thanks Alex for intervening. Thanks everyone else for understanding. I will go to bat for anyone of you at any time - it's just how I am.

I'm actually shocked at this post and wonder where it came from. I thought we were all getting along. I think someone has read into things a little too much.

I could say more, but it's pretty pointless since what ya gonna do?!

I just hope he reads this and decides to stay. If he doesn't, everyone loses in that situation.

Wow I missed alot while not posting during the weekend. I hope photobod comes back, but I can understand if he doesn't.

From what I can see, everyone has identified this was a misunderstanding, they have made this statement publicly. So what's the problem? Now I'm a pretty sensitive person myself (I'm allowed to be, I'm a daddy's girl ), that's why you won't find me playing with you all in the back and forth banter. I can sure dish out smack, but my skin is way to thin to take it back. Growing up my mother and aunt would tease me and say I had "diva syndrome".

I really like this site so just giving my honest opinion. I like the lounge area for the fun, and the rest of the site for shop talk. I just wish I knew more to answer more questions!

The time will come when you are the one offering advice.

Really? Lets get this missunderstanding taken care of. If photobud would go back and see all my posts it has nothing to do with trying to up my count on this forum. Im actually providing helpful comments. Now the refrence that was made was taken way out of context. Should we have explained what we were agreeing on? Probably. However, because we thought it wasnt a negative comment but actually the complete opposite we didnt say why. We though it was a great thing to have someone on this forum like our good friend steven. Someone who brightens up the place a lot. In review it should have been said what we were comparing to but it didnt happen. That was our mistake but it is a two way street. One should also ask what the refrence is about. In this situation it was taken in the complete opposite. Our friend Steven is a good friend of ours and in such a refrence we were extending in that compliment.

She seems to have made a unharmful opinion, your response is a tad over dramatic

What he meant was that in due time she will know more so she can answer more questions as she said she wish she could

Exactly. The whole situation seemed to implode before anyone knew what was going on. It's actually kinda surreal.

You are absolutely correct. I was referring to her last sentence. Thank you.

Our experiences and areas of expertise vary and the collective whole is a great resource for beginning shooters. I am glad to get back to sharing our knowledge of photography. I am glad that we respect each other to this end and our opinions are held in mutual regard.

I haven't been here long enough to know what's going on, but I hate for anyone to feel they're forced out of a site. That's not right. Perhaps you will reconsider after awhile. If not, at least you were very honest about why you're leaving and perhaps your words will have some effect on those who have upset you. In public forums people should be respectful and consider what they write carefully. Humor and sarcasm are two of the hardest verbal communications to carry across into the written word.

100% agree. First round of beers on me!
