Yes Annie Girl it may just be a little more than ego in some of us males - more like "Macho Male Egos" LOL

I'm female. There is a large number of males on this forum. There are a few forums that are geared toward female photographers that are hugely popular and very well received. I belong to two, I find them to both be more encouraging and more geared toward growth than ones that have a high population of males, maybe due to the male egos involved.

No agenda on this - just curious.

Male, past 40..50..60..70 and counting, lots of hair on top but no facial stuff, lots of grins and giggles, and I can spell "it" as well.

I think more enthusiast photographers who spend time on forums fit this category more than any other.

A photographer with a proven track record needs to be the senior Admin and offer direction (and NO I do not want the job, I don't have the time).

You are not a photographer, or a proven nothing plus you got a bad attitude.
Yet you implicated you could prove you are. :?
You can not even prove you are a female. :lol:
Much less a photographer.
(I'll subscribe to the track marks & records) :roll:

You publicly post your 'self admitted' guess's at others ability's, procedures and polices.
Sometimes to the point of Slander!
You can't prove your accusations to yet your never held accountable for your actions because your a fake.

How do you know the senior admin is not a photographer?
And the admin position is not that of a teacher BTW but to mediate the mediators.
