"no that is ok. I am good". Possible scenario....JR worked on a photo for someone....that someone sees it and is content with it. To which JR replies..."I can do more if you want.". Enter the quote, "no that is ok. I am good.". Meaning..."No, I am happy with it. No further work needed or wanted. Open & Shut.

Not all the members, I assure you, are happy with the outcome. There are still a lot of members who think the same as I do. The chequered past you have had, should have lead to you being suspended at least. Just to remind you, I'm English so you should be able to understand this. I will use as many single syllable words as I can to make it easy for you. "NO" is the opposite of yes. Get it! Any confusion in the language or translation from English to English. I hope you have stopped crying now you got your own way.

JR1 Loc: Tavistock, Devon, UK

I used to live in Yorkshire.

I lived in Pontefract for a year, I started the Pontefract computer club, we had 60 members, we had weekly meetings, I arranged the venue, talks speakers etc, it was great.

A year on the members voted in "the new committee" After all the work was done, I was not even considered, in fact I was treated very badly, and left.

THREE months later it folded, just three months, took a Southerner to start it and , and well the rest is history.

I have now unwatched this topic, once again thank you all for the emails and PMs I have received.

JR at times you are extremely rude, very opinionated and you can be just an ASS.
As Paul would have said, "Now for the rest of the story"
At times we all have been that way and no one individual should be persecuted because of it. So much depends on our attitude when we come here, in a sense we all have our demons that we fight every day but they don't belong here on the Hogg.
Real simple, if we could remember to talk to as we want to be talked to this shouldn't happen again.
Glad your back JR, it would seem strange not to have that burr under my saddle! :lol: :lol:

I said I was "out" of this thread. Then you open your mouth unnecessarily, Graham. For a 72 year old guy, and having lived the early life you describe on your website, you ought to be ashamed of making such a public comment. You have no real idea about JR1 and the kind of homelife pressures that he goes through every day to look after and bring up his family. All you "perceive" of him you glean from his contributions to this site. You admit on your website "how (my wife Jeannie) has put up with me is nothing short of courageous". Would you feel good about the negative perceptions that I could, if I so wish, draw about you from reading about you on your website, and then make public? I think not. You do yourself no favours at all chiming in with such a comment, and at such a late stage when JR1 has publicly apologised for any misunderstanding caused by him, AND the original poster has acknowledged that she is dyslexic and might not have expressed herself clearly.

This is not a site on which to "hang others out to dry". There is always the danger that you, too, might one day be "misinterpreted" and hung out to dry in public by folks who don't really know you. No need for this, Graham, absolutely no need, especially in view of the magnanimity with which JR1 has responded to your comment.

This topic for me too is now "unwatched".

What was the question that the OP responed to with this phrase?

Whatever are you talking about. Iv'e been here on this forum a few months and Iv'e all heard all about his hardships the sons he brings up singlehanded time and time again. Other people told him he wasn't the only one in the world who brings up kids alone but they don't make such a song and dance about it. I think he's a big boy and is able look after himself, so really it's nothing to do with you. He's OK when he's bragging and bullying and degrading others. He touched up a picture of mine without permission and it was someone else who said there was no improvement. So your JR1 cuts no ice with me. Didn't you realise when I mentioned my wife it was a joke, after 40 years I think she'd have gone if there was a problem don't you. I have crossed swords with JR1 before so he knows the score with me. Everything on my website is public so I'm afraid youv'e lost me there. I don't want to fall out with you but you or no one else will tell me what I can and can't do. If he hasn't been a pratt in the past why is he Mr Nice Guy all of a sudden, it's quite funny to me.

PS. "No that is ok. I am good", means 'NO' dont's do it.

Let's not get all tied up with innuendos

it basically means "go ahead post it or go ahead do it" without knowing what context this refer,s to i,d be inclined to say he said FINE DO IT .

I think in reality the moderator jumped the gun on this one. Mayhaps he, the moderator, is having a bad day. They are quick to jump us if by accident we leave the cap lock key on.
Perhaps this time he "leaped before he looked" at least he, the moderator, brought it before the members for others opinion and clarification. Don't understand why he excluded those of us on this side of the pond, I think we all have a pretty good grasp of the English language.

Hi JR,
Nice to see you back, to be fair hadn't noticed you been away.

You would have been missed if they had of kept this up.

They need folk like you to keep posts going,

Some peeps are not interested in photography, all they want is a row.

Just saying.

Gifted One Loc: S. E. Idaho

Since I am the only one that I. D.'s myself from S. E. Idaho I believe that I am the injurded party! No, Yes about it! Posts had nothing to do about the issue at hand!

Lesley65 Loc: Surrey UK

Yes I think a reasonable person in the UK would assume that the statement actually means "go ahead and post"
that was how I read it.
