I apologize to all my fellow Nikonites in good standing for going off the deep end last night but I couldn't help it.

It is difficult to think of others as "Friends" when maybe you haven't even met them in person. However, when you read their posts and see the photographs taken in this forum, you are, in a sense, looking at them through their words and seeing what they see through their photographs. It is very revealing.

Yes, you can fake it. You can steal photos, and claim them for your own, for whatever reasons. However, you will reap what you sow. Maybe not immediately, but it is certain you will receive back what you give. Not from any certain religious view, but from the natural law we all know. And I am speaking of all of us, not you, Jeff, in particular.

You were guilty of being a friend, and standing up for another friend. I like that a lot. A whole lot.

From what I have read in your posts, and seen in your photography, I believe you are a very knowledgeable lover of all things concerning photography. And a gentleman. In everyday life, and on this forum.

I hate it when a friend of mine is insulted by another, just to goad him to anger, and as a result, get him to act like he never would normally.

I apologize for "Liking" some of what you were posting. I really did like it, but should have not encouraged you by doing it, if that makes sense. So I am guilty for my part in what happened. I will try not do it again.

This is the first forum I have ever been on. Don't do Facebook (tried it, hated it) or other types of social internet things. But I really like this forum, and I like to read your posts, Jeff. Someone mentioned a while ago to me, that they would like to see more of my photos. (As an encouragement...)

I think everyone would like to see more of your photos, Jeff, if you have the time and inclination. I know I would.

I will resolve to be a gentleman with regard to encouraging others on this forum, so that we all can continue to have fun, and grow in our love of photography, and even Contaflexes and Contarexes.

Thank you, Jeff for your apology and being the kind of friend we all like to have.

Well I don't know about all that but if your first post here is a picture of someone else's that you are using without permission or even crediting it to them and then you come on here pushing about pictures of Greece and espousing political crap which a recent crazy member that stole a bunch of pictures from people boldly used to like to talk about then I am going to say something about it.

Well, I have only been a member here for a short time, the atmosphere here so far has been very welcoming and friendly.
Then we had the photo stealing issue, which for me, seemed to rob the forum of its "innocence" (for want of a better word).

And now just of late, I notice some posts ( which I assume also initiated this thread ) which serve no other purpose than to stir the pot.

I came here to learn, and find help to become a better photographer. I am on my way to achieving both those goals thanks to the selfless and helpful attitude of the members here.
To those that are responsible for making this forum what it is that keeps me coming back every day, and sometimes several times daily, I thank you all very much.

The trolls come and go, but the members who make this forum what it is will keep on doing what they do. Sharing their work, and helping others along the way.
Keep up the good work Guys and Girls.
