Unbelievable... DavidP to be banned...

[Paul Pope]

I just get soooooooooooo turned on everytime I see the pin up ;-)

Hmm, I may be more of an equipment junkie than an experience
photographer, though. But thanks for the kind words, anyway.

Icon? Protected? Blessed by the Pope? A man could let this go
to his head.

Thats a absurd situation ...the amount of moronic newbies in here
since the 10D and their stupid off topic idiot posts has driven
this forum to the depths of mediocrity ...experienced photographers
(as opposed to experienced equipment junkies) who are prepared to
post in this now difficult enviroment are fewer and fewer ...the
established posters here who have been here for many years such as
David P should be protected rather then chastised ....I didn't
think his post was off topic anyhow... whoever complained should be
drummed out of here with a dunces hat on.
David P is a Canon SLR Forum Icon and should be afforded more respect.

I have no idea if Phil warned others via a personal email or not.
He did post a "reminder" message here, though, about it. Probably
on page 20 by now.

Or maybe it got moved to "Open Talk" since it was clearly off-topic.

I'm a huge sports fan and I've seen the same thing happen on football message boards.

There are those who whine about what someone else posts incessently, the same old whiny "off topic police". Well you know what, I DON'T OWN A 10d and couldn't care less about the topic, but... do I complain about the tidal wave of 10d posts? No, I skip those posts because those folks have EVERY RIGHT AND REASON TO COME HERE TO DISCUSS THE NON STOP 10d FRONT FOCUS THINGY. That's cool!

Why are some of you so anal? DavidP is a heck of a photographer as well as contributor to this board. GET A LIFE! I come here to learn from the REAL PROS, and I skip the topics that don't interest me. Why can't some others do the same?

If this board loses the likes of DavidP, it loses the interest of the likes of me. Some folks need to quit micromanaging and just take pictures. UGH!

Wow, a genuine direct attack against me.

First off, I did not report anyone.

Secondly, by commenting on what I believe is in the spirit of the forum rules, you label me as a control freak...and yet you are declaring a boycott of my posts based on a false assumption...hmmm, no control freak behavior there!

So let me get this straight: It is okay to try to censor someone and call for a boycott against someone who is asking (politely I may add) for people to go with the spirit of the forum rules Phil set up.

And let me get this straight...You really believe that anyone has "control over this forum" ???!!! LOL! No way.

So do you think it is appropriate to have flame and attack me? Does that part of what Phil intended for this forum not apply to you?

I await your apology.

Thanks.

Either koalafarm or KiranP complained to Phil about DavidP's post
about his Epson 2200. Phil even went so far as threantening to ban
DavidP unless he behaves and then moved his post to the "Open
forum" forum!!
Unbelievable!! Neither koalafarm or KiranP have contributed
anything of value to this forum except their requirements to censor
the subject line and/or the content of every post on this forum.
How dare they!! How is it that the anal rentative types have any
control over this forum. I advise all to boycott all post from
these two control freaks.
DavidP, you are a learning process, keep posting!
I have sent a complaint about koalafarm and kiranp to phil. I
encourage all that feel the same to email Phil as well.
Don't let this forum be controlled by those that wish to censor
this forum. Please send an email to Phil expressing your feelings.

Maybe if I start posting there, he figures I'll start a trend?

I guess I should quit RESPONDING to off-topic threads, then. Or maybe with just "take it to Open Talk" ?

Hmmmmmmm.

There are a HUGE number of OT posts. Here's a sample of OT posts

General photographic equipment questions, such as

Good circular 67mm polarizer for D60?
Gitzo 'geared' tripod query
Camera bags for travel

General Stuff
world's biggest digital camera 324mp, build by canada
I have been to the mother ship - B&H

[koalafarm140687]

for all those people looking for expert advice on the Epson 2200, wouldn't it be cool if they could go to a forum - just for kicks, lets call it "printers" and get what they need...rather than go to Canon DSLR and do a search, and "Nikon DSLR" and do a search...etc, etc.

Can't believe people wouldn't see value in that

What did the post on the printer contain that was so offensive? I
think I read it, and never noticed anything. From what I remember
DavidP was just saying how much the printer kicked butt...

First, to repeat, I didn't complain to Phil.

Second, as we all know, this forum moves really fast, so I missed a lot of these.

Third, I did comment on the post about whether someone should rent a car to drive cross country - that wasn't a DavidP post - although there was an amusing "I am taking my Canon DSLR with me" disclaimer?!

Geez, after all the posts about the war, peace, George Bush, democrats, politics and religion, one would think that having OT posts moved by Phil wouldn't get much attention!

So is Mishkin gonna be your official spokesperson next week?

You KNOW there will be some "Where's DavidP" posts after a day or so of your absence....;^) So...you'll be contributing to off topic posts even when you aren't around ;^)

I'd say make an announcement...but then again that would be off topic.

He may have been just cleaning house. But he got tired after 20
threads, I guess. LOL. Can't blame him there.

The REAL fun is gonna start next week, when I'm gone. People are
now gonnna assume I got banned.

post a thread about Canon DSLR's, maybe that will have negate your
post about a printer in this forum and your warning will be
rescinded.
Actually, I feel for Phil that he has to respond to (fill in the
descriptive word) that complain about such trivial things. I'm sure
he has much more important thing to do.

Sure...

People who stick there heads up will always get wacked by someone or something.

It is amazing to me at the vile that can get spewed based on nothing more than a post. And people have trouble understanding why there are wars and such hostility...they need only come here to see human nature at its finest.
