The thing is, it's not one or two comments. It's that 80% of his comments are incessant nitpicking or are designed too tear down the photo, it's not "I would do this to improve your photo" it's "Meh your custom isn't any good since you didn't paint the gloves" or "The Storm Shadow you used is terrible his eyes are blue, asians don't have blue eyes"
It's being overly critical. Also there are a few instances I've seen where someone has been critical of his photos (in a way similar to how he is) and all of a sudden, it's being mean and the person making the comment isn't entitled too. Let me know if you want proof.
While I agree Jay shouldn't have been ganged up on (Though it really didn't look that way to me) I do not think anything said in this thread was out of line. My first post in this thread was interpreted as being harsh which wasn't necessarily what I intended, I wrote it with quite a sardonic tone, but this isn't a verbal form of communication so it was almost universally missed.
Trench Viper, I think your a great poster and that you take very good photos, so I'm not happy we're on opposite sides.
Also to Otto The Otter, while "Don't say anything if you can't say anything nice" is a very nice mantra to live by, the problem with that by doing that, when someone doesn't play by those rules (In this case Jay) those who bite their tongue, allow it to continue.
