I go on several forums every day - various topics. I posted on the others how nice the people there are, compared with many people here. I was surprised at the replies, "Photographers are nasty people." I didn't realize that, but it makes sense now.

Probably spoken by "Selfie Pic Takers" that jump in front of me just as I press my shutter release button . . . .

Most probably not, but could be if provoked.

Not sure but some of them have very annoying know-it-all personality's and this type of photographer usually don't shoot high quality images.

Then there are those obsessed with perfection, who strive for 150+% quality in many respects.

First off Jerry, I hope I have never given you that opinion of me. If I have, I apologize in advance.

As for others, I can’t speak for them. Often I will see a thread head into the nether regions of name calling. I will always remind others that name calling is childish. While I’m not an Admin, I do my best to follow their rules.

Also, the anonymity of social media, lends itself for others to be rude. I do my best to be polite even if it maybe excessive. I certainly don’t want to get a spanking from my mother or the Admin.

I do find it shameful the way other people can behave. Best of all, don’t have anything to do with them.
