Well said. There is a lot more to this.

Perhaps not the "hillbilly" bit, but the fact that your shots keep getting low ratings is result of the other side simply not liking whatever they don't like at the time. Your non-Joe shots, while good, catch heat from those here who don't like it when someone upsets their order of things.

does that really deserve trash talking people behind their back. i think i recieved 3 low ratings. one of which i thought Falcon posted. turns out i didnt understand what he was saying. things were starightend out, i apologized.
now these 2 have so much going on for them in life they bash people theyve never spoken to in anyway on their site and do not even tell the full story. these 2 are drama queens. they get their kicks stirring up crap obviously to make themselves feel important. good writtens to them. im sure this place will be far better off with out them.
as for low ratings, if youre going to give a pick a low rating. say why. dont be a coward.

My thoughts exactly. At least we still have Flickr Marcos.

Let's count our blessings. The rating system is turned off for now, and the drama is bound to decrease. Let's get back to making cool art!

Flickr is very cool. I use it and Picassa. But I have to keep my corner of the internet clean and safe for my members. If you guys think JD will suck now that we'll have fewer flame wars and spiteful things thrown back and forth, that's fine with me. I can live without the hate.

Trust me I hate flame wars. They are irritating. It's just sad that friends had to be taken off here.

I'm sorry that you getting your toes stepped on was a casualty of the bitter goings-on between RTG, Fireflyed, and their silent enemies. My point is and stands that there is a much bigger picture going on here.



You know they don't like it when you use that word. ;)
