Canon Rumors (Page 3): That was exactly what I was alluding to. I was hoping someone would pick up on that! I think I said someone more wise..I was hoping someone would pick up on...

Not a criticism, just a follow-up. The phrase "the better angels of our nature" was used by Abraham Lincoln in his first inaugural address.

That was exactly what I was alluding to. I was hoping someone would pick up on that! I think I said someone more wise..I was hoping someone would pick up on that...it was the last sentence, I believe. I an reading the Zealot and the Emancipator right now...which goes deeply into that...in fact, I had just read his address when I came across this post.

Bottom line, maybe I should have given credit up front, but kinda figured most people of our age would "get it." The term seems appropriate for this...people losing their minds, forget their civility over photography? Threaten family members?

To steal another phrase, if someome were to threaten my family, my response might be, "I'll be your Huckleberry."

Good catch and happy shooting.

Not to be too offensive, but I would ask the Ass??? if they can run faster than 1300 feet per second.

What are you talking about? What does “changing hands” mean? Who attacked you over what and where did this happen? Why was the last 24 hours horrible and what does any of this have to do with UHH?

If you had read this post from the start, you would have seen this link that explained the situation, that several people put on here.

How sad. The Ugly side of social media, where all the “little people” can express their inner demons. Disgusting.

I wonder what happened.

"However, yesterday they came at my children and my wife. They came at my family….. little fanboys of certain YouTubers that have obviously been raised horribly. What was in my inbox I won’t even show my wife. I’m tearing up writing this with absolute disgust for how horrible people are becoming. All of this is created by the personalities (I refuse to call them creators), they feed off of it, they profit off of it and they don’t care.

I have over the years had to deal with blowback from things said on OTHER websites and on YouTube channels. Yesterday was the tipping point. There are so many liars, grifters, and generally awful people polluting this niche little industry."

His article linked elsewhere is worth a read. It is truly shameful that a small minority of people are permitted to be so toxic online. I don't believe in "the good old days" but I do miss my father's era which demanded honesty and scorned vulgarity.

Hmm. Bitter arguments over photography? Perhaps we should take a moment to reflect on the purpose of photography forums and, as someone far smarter and greater than me said, to seek the angels of our better nature.

Sad deal.

Amen!

I read that but of course I am still at a lost because he doesn't say what was said to his family or who the youtubers are so I can find out what they said on their channels. Without those information I still don't know what's going on.

In this day and time it seems many think their thoughts are important to others. And more to the point, they believe whatever they have to say, whether true beneficial or helpful, or not, needs to be said. Until such individuals assume responsibility for their words and actions, the situation won't improve.

The guy that runs NikonRumors is covering this and has been very supportive. Yesterday he posted a bunch of vile messages he has been receiving, saying they are all coming from the same person and promising to reveal the bozo's identity over the next couple of days.

I saw that today on Nikon Rumors.
