    Nick, do Dgrin and yourself a favor and post your images as embedded links from your SmugMug account, these look horrible as attachments. Trust me on this. If you need help on how to embed, there's a link in my sig that will guide you.

    Andy, I thought I asked you to stop stepping on my posts.

    Hello All,

    Some pics just to show you how amazing Mother Nature can be.

    Please read the brief image captions for the details of the shoot:

    Ouch, I'm terribly sorry you are offended by my trying to help you show your photos off in the best light possible. My post, above, was intended to encourage you to embed the photo, vs. attach it, because the attachment on Vbulletin won't look as good as the embedded photo from your gallery. I think the seagulls would show better - and since you're showing off the pics from your new camera, folks would want to see the best possible pics, I should think.

    As to the last post of mine, in your prior thread, all I can say is "wow," Nick -- I was genuinely paying you a compliment on that photo in question - after having spent some time perusing your galleries. headscratch.gif

    I'll move along now, as you request - I hope you have a better day!

    Lets see here. Andy gave you good advice on how to link your pics so they look their best. Then in an earlier post he went through your galleries found one of your pics he like and complemented you on it.

    Your response to these actions is to call him "vile". :crazy ne_nau.gif

    As Shay has already pointed out personal attacks are no acceptable here. In addition if you are going to make a post here anybody, including Andy, gets the opportunity to respond to your post. You can't determine who can or can not respond to you.

    Hey Nick,

    You know that I've been one of your supporters in the past when others were trashing your s9000.

    BUT, you need to play better in the "dgrin sandbox". Everybody's just hanging around playing with their cameras and pictures. Don't get so upset over casual comments and people's simple opinions.

    Wholenenight,

    If you read Andy's remark above :

    " Nick

    Went poking around in your galleries, took me a while but I found this,"

    From where I come from this is a major insult, which I ignored until Andy decided to step on my benign post as he did in the past.
    For the benefit of others: "took me a while..Nice" needs no explaination.

    And I restate that i ignored his remark when originally posted.

    You mention a sand box. Andy threw sand in this case, and as this thread shows, he doesn't even know it.

    Nick, you skin is way too thin for this gig. If Andy's post offended your delicate sensabilities I hate too think of your reaction to a serious critque.

    You may recall that in that thread you only received two responses. One being Andy's, praising another shot in your gallery and Steve's response where he said you did not capture the time passage well in your shots.

    Except for Steve's and Andy's responses you received no other responses. I didn't respond because I found the shots to be dull and uninteresting. Your post had 137 views and only Andy and Steve responded. That's usually a sign that your pictures failed to ignite any interest.

    Now you attack one of the very few who responded to your post and he praised one of your shots. Very strange. ne_nau.gif

    This thread is really not accomplishing anything people. Before mob mentality takes over and Nick is ganged up on, over a misunderstanding, I think the subject should be dropped.

    Nick - You took a compliment as an insult and Andy has already apologized for the misunderstanding. Carrying on in this manner will get you nowhere and only lead to more hurt feelings.

    Lets be adults here. This is one of the most friendly forums I have ever been on and would like to keep it that way. It is pretty clear that neither side is going to "win" this argument so shake hands and walk away.
