Does this mean you're leaving us????

Don't let the door hit you in the fanny on the way out.....you might get a black eye :XD:


Hmmmm....FOTOSTAN just sent me the following PM:
"I suggest you close down your silly bullshit answers to me. Dont fight with me, you cant win."

Oh dear, oh dear, what shall I do? :shock:

Did you notice that in FOTOSTAN's posts he claimed to have received two purple hearts? I wonder if it was because of "friendly fire"? :roll:

SoHillGuy,

Comment noted but these colors don't run.

BTW: I meant to comment earlier re: your post with the link: http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol56/photography.htm

Not a bad place to visit and learn if you want to migrate from a hobby to a business. Thanks

Robert-photos & Weddingguy you are just making matters worse and two wrongs do not make a right. I also got a PM from Fotostan however mine was not nasty nor insulting. I think instead it contained a compliment of sorts.

Add me to the list of privately admonished for daring to question FOTOSTAN's authority.

Dr. RAE, it appears that your only approved course of action is to beg FOTOSTAN to allow you to intern for him for the next 20 years, free of charge of course, then TRY to go out on your own. At this point he will, no doubt, rail to one and all about your audacity to take all he's taught you and stab him in the back.

Just got my registration form for fall classes at Rhode Island School of Design.

Thinking I need to submit course synopses to FOTOSTAN for approval before wasting my money.

Prior to dissing FOTOSTAN I took the trouble to read his other posts and came to the conclusion that he is a disruptive troll without a saving grace.

In his over 200 posts I did not see one which was constructive. He is a self proclaimed "graduate professional" and expert but shows no evidence of being one. His posts are generally abrasive and his people skills leave a lot to be desired. No doubt he has suffered some trauma or major disappointment in life but that does not excuse his vitriol or his lack of common courtesy in this forum.

I called him out because we should not allow the trolls to rule.

As this conversation spirals downward, I now find myself vacillating between anger and pity towards FOTOSTAN.

I thought it was I who was insecure...
