Yes, I'm an American. And all I wrote above applies to you too. I'm tired of low-value users, who do nothing but post crap in the Attic, taking turns shitting on me.

So the same deal goes for you. When I kick you out, it will be made clear to you too. And the reason will be: "because I don't like you". No need to invent stories about political bias.

And when you have created something I'm using daily and have been using for years, then we'll talk about me respecting you and your work. (Although, there won't be a need for such talk as unlike you I wouldn't be shitting on someone whose work I'm using.)

And that goes for all low-value users.

If I open up your post list and all I see is the Attic and no challenges, no pictures, no tutorials, no attempts to help others with their gear or composition questions, no discussions about photography at all, then guess what, you are a low-value user to me.

I could take some crap from the good users we have here, those who provide value to this forum (and those who are sometimes driven away by users like you), but I won't be taking crap from you.

If you lack the intellectual capacity to understand any of that, it's really not my problem.

One more peep and you are out. (Or, just leave and find yourself another forum. That works for me too.)

It may be my last post on any Hogg section, and I don’t mind terribly, but I have just been deleted from the chit chat section. For ever having mentioned the word America or government or even the WORD “politics”, I was WARNED BY THAT SECTION’s administrator a number of times for it being determined that my posts were somehow. Political. I never besmirched either party or any candidates, and really didn’t getactually POLITICAL . The administrator of the chit chat section just deleted me from chit chat. ... dare I tell you what I replied to him/her? The. Mind police and any RAdical power monger can do what ever their little twinkle brains dictate. So this may be my swan- song, but I’m HAPPY TO SING IT! RJM
