Default I'm out of here

This isn't really directed at any one person or thread but this is one of the most unfriendly forums I've ever been on. I have better things to do.

Really? That's surprising coming from you since whenever you post your photography lots of people comment on how amazing it is. That seems pretty friendly to me...

I'm sorry to hear that. I have never found this forum to be unfriendly as a whole. I have just found that posters here are less likely to sugarcoat things that they say. Couple that with a loose modship, and the fact that one never quite comes across the way they intend on the Internet, and it isn't really a surprise that it does appear to be unfriendly. Wherever you end up, good luck. Keep your lenses clean.

Couldn't agree with you more.

This what happens when you get into fights with people on the net...

You take your ball and go home....


Like any forum, the best way to not take offense to other humans...Don't get involved with the topics more then you need to.



Kinda like having sex with a hot girl that you met in Old City....

What did he think was going to happen?
Some people are down-right mean - and some people are down-right nice too.
We all have different opinions - of course!
We all have better things to do ( I hope) but a little time for PB is ok too.

The most puzzling thing I notice on these boards is how people say that these forums are "unfriendly" or that the people are "downright mean" or even "downright nice". I always approach message boards/blogs in this matter: if they agree with me, they are the enlightened and educated people of our great city, and if they disagree they are ridiculous and ignorant. And when some of these ignorant bastards throw in an insult, they are like that elevated wasted dude at a freind's wedding...such a shame they look like an ass.

Obviously none of my perceptions are true, but I think thats the fun of these places. What, you go to the Starbucks at 3rd and Arch??!?!? Get a life, you anti-neighborhood corporate pawn!!! What, you are a member of the neighborhood dog owner/walker clique?? You're my best friend!!!

Anyone that takes bloggers or posters too serious, needs to make an adjustment. We all probably passed each other on the street 4 times in the last week; I wouldn't hold a grudge on anyone on a stupid message board.

Unless you were a Dallas fan. Then you might get jacked up in front of the Ducks and get a kazoo in the ear.
