[QUOTE="AC016, post: 399563, member: 9619"] I read the article and do like what he said. He has some good points and i could not agree with him more. The internet can be a brutal place. I think a lot of it has to do with people who feel all to comfortable behind a keyboard. These same people would most likely not voice the same words in front of other people. With that being said, this forum is rather tame compared to the Fuji forum i sometimes frequent. It is really brutal over there, with a lot of photography snobs who think they are God's gift to photography. But as i said before, it is so easy to type words out. Yes, you do have to develop some thick skin. Furthermore, at times, you just have to choose to ignore people or just look from the outside in at times. Seeing that photography is very web centric nowadays, it is hard to avoid the masses. You put your photo on a website, that website can be viewed by hundreds of millions of people and only a very tiny percentage have any clue about photography. This is what we face, a world were anyone can post up their "opinion", no matter what and there are some people out there who just get off on being negative and critical. As he says, take every critique for what it is. In the end, you will know which ones are genuine and which ones are just windups. [/QUOTE]
