That being said, we have a person on UHH that tends to make all who disagree with him, into a target, and keeps throwing out personal shots.
He started joining in our section (Wedding photography) with a few good topics, and wasn't attacking anyone. I nicely complimented him on the posts, and asked that he please keep his comments positive and there would be no problems at all, and if his comments became personal, they would be deleted.
Well, this well known person, flew off the handle and said that he would no longer look at, or join in our group. It is sad that it was taken so personally, as I thought I had said it in a friendly way, with compliments and everything, just telling him that if any comments were deleted, that would be the reason.
Well, the entire group sent me PM's thanking me that he "left" the section, because they were all nervous about being on the receiving end of that person.]
It's pretty sad that we give those people that kind of power over us. My aim in life is to not give anyone "free rent" in my head.
So, no matter who this Mr. B is. Maybe just a note from the administrator will make the situation handle itself.
Personally, I like getting differing opinions, but my hackles get raised when it goes from a disagreement on a topic, to an outright personal attack.

Quite frankly I sort of, "Can't stand it anymore either", my dear fellow-member, as I don't in turn have any idea who stirred up the soup in the wedding section.
These things are always painful to watch and those drawn into it or the target of it wind up hurt with injuries that thoughtless commentators could hardly be aware of. I note you are also a long term member of UH so will remember it as not originally having any separated sections to multiply the common disputes where the same basic thread runs through them all...the either/or, the you/me, the them/us, and especially the I,I,I,I.....
