I don't know if I just happened to stumble across them, or if there are actually more idiotic responses to posts here. This forum discusses photography and general topics. Although The Attic comes close, we don't have a section for attacking, criticizing, and name-calling. It seems that more and more people are having trouble getting through the day without trying to make someone else look like an idiot. They don't realize that they are making themselves look like idiots when their only purpose in posting is to tear someone else down. Truly pathetic.

Someone on a different forum said that "photographers are horrible." Maybe there's some truth to that.

Some are.
Some look down their nose if you don't do/view things the way they do.

Don't focus on them! Focus on the majority of decent people who subscribe to UHH. You'll be happier.

When I see the tone of the post, I skip to the next one. "Move along. Nothing to see here."

I've always prescribed to a realization I thought of a long time ago: Those who know understand, and those who don't, don't matter.

Maybe it's meant to be, to show us all who is kind and who is not. It's kind of nice to know that about someone.

Seeing the negative helps one appreciate the positive. When i lived in Southern California, nice weather days just became boring.

Because of the political meanness and intolerance in The Attic, I haven't stopped there in months.

Funny you should mention that. I was riding in a cab on the island of St. Thomas years ago, and an ad came on the radio from a travel agent. "Tired of having the same warm, sunny weather day after day? Travel and enjoy an assortment of weather every day!" I thought that was funny.

I remember a quote: You cannot make the light from your candle shine any brighter by blowing out the light from someone else's candle.

I think it actually dims the light of the person who blows out someone else's light. Makes them look worse than childish.

I don't worry about it one way or the other...surfing requires thick skin and self confidence.
Let the trolls troll...what else can they do?
All you can do is give them your pity...they pay the price...not you.
