[Deja Q]

25. All of this is getting WAY out of hand.

Plus, valid questions are not being answered... and in ways that silence speaks even louder.

[MrCoffee]

27. well, it's ohiosmith...so, ya know...

and the guy complaining about the copycats needs to chill the hell out.

[Deja Q]

30. JeffR?

(he's also picking on certain copycats and not others... and has yet to explain why; I have asked where his correlation between a subject line and the contents within is and it's a valid question. He does himself discredit by not answering.)

[MrCoffee]

31. i can't explain why he chose to pick on some innocent copycatters

:shrug:

penis envy? i mean, if i *had* to guess...

[Deja Q]

32. OW!

[MrCoffee]

34. you made me guess!

i'm blameless here.

[BarenakedLady]

38. Sure sure

You are just an innocent bystander.

:hi:

[MrCoffee]

41. now you, on the other hand...

yer a rabblerouser. you rouse rabble.

[BarenakedLady]

44. "From you Dad! I learned it from watching YOU!"

:rofl:

I love me the rousing of rabbles.

[MrCoffee]

48. STANDING OVATION!!!!

:applause::applause::applause::applause:

[BarenakedLady]

58. *bows gracefully*

Thank you. Thank you. I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress on the way out.

[JeffR]

42. Spare me

:eyes: There's funny, and there's over-the-line.

[KitchenWitch]

67. This is the Lounge

over-the-line is standard operating procedure.

[JeffR]

70. Mmm

Well, that makes everything cool with me, then.

[JeffR]

37. Hard to keep up with my spastic fingers

Forgive me. I think all these threads are bull. Just my opinion.

[MrCoffee]

40. so ignore them and move on. i think they're hilarious.

[JeffR]

47. That's nice for you

One Duer disagrees with you, heaven forbid.

[MrCoffee]

55. it is nice for me. and you're welcome to disagree.

[JeffR]

78. I do.

[MrCoffee]

80. and someone said "whooptie freakin' doo". heaven forbid.

and i still want to know what makes a clever copycat not creative?

[ohiosmith]

36. And what's the message when the copycat thread gets more than

twice the action the original thread got?
:rofl:

[JeffR]

50. The message apparently is that you get more jollies

from pissing on things than from seeing the creative efforts of fellow DUers. Nyuk it up.

[ohiosmith]

52. What the hell are you talking about? Did you forget to take your meds?

[MrCoffee]

53. why is a clever copycat not creative?

[ohiosmith]

56. yea, answer that

[KFC]

61. How is taking pictures creative?

I mean you just point the camera and hit a button. My pet monkey can do that.

[ohiosmith]

64. Fuck me!

:rofl:

[KFC]

86. Bobo can take care of that too

[ohiosmith]

90. :

:rofl:

[JeffR]

65. Uh huh

Post the results.

[MrCoffee]

68. oh, do it! i wanna see some monkey pics!!!!

[BarenakedLady]

71. ok

[MrCoffee]

73. gah! that should come with a Surgeon General warning on it.

[KitchenWitch]

94. I just want to see pics of Bobo bumping uglies...oh never mind!

:rofl: :evilgrin:

[MrCoffee]

98. please BarenakedLady, for the love of cheese, NEVER MIND!!!!!

[BarenakedLady]

111. Hmmm what?

What did I do?

WHAT DID I DO??

[MrCoffee]

114. oh you know what you did. don't make me get out the waterboard.

[BarenakedLady]

116. Not again

:scared:

I promise to be good.

[KitchenWitch]

118. check your glasses dude!

I am KitchenWitch!

[ohiosmith]

72. dude, you're only embarrassing yourself

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

74. Now you just look ignorant.

[Deja Q]

75. Time of day, camera angle, point of interest...

It's not as simple as all that. Real photographic talent captures details that light up the soul; not just develop on a piece of chemically-coated paper.

BTW: Ansel Adams was known for standing in the same spot for an entire day, just waiting for the right moment. A monkey would just be screeching and flinging feces all over the place out of abject boredom...

[Deja Q]

51. OUCH! :(

But if this didn't balloon into namecalling and infighting by somebody looking FOR a fight, the originals would have not been eclipsed by people taking sides and adding in their two cents... I think the word of the day here is "ironic".

[JeffR]

57. Point taken

I'm crabby, izall.

[Midlodemocrat]

79. Personally, I don't think anyone meant to belittle the efforts of the

Photography group, JeffR.

ohiosmith comes up with some pretty clever copycats is all.

The Photography polls are something a lot of us, me included look forward to with enthusiasm because the work is so beautiful.

[MrCoffee]

84. i look at the photography polls too. some of those pictures are amazing.

but what i don't understand at all is how a clever copycat denigrates them in any way, shape or form.

[Midlodemocrat]

87. I think sometimes it's tough to understand the lounge mojo.

You think you are being a target, when in reality, folks are just playing. No one really means anything by it.

[JeffR]

85. I'll take your opinion at face value

though as for ohiosmith, clever doesn't seem to be quite accurate.

Thanks for your comment!

[MrCoffee]

88. you, Sir, are acting like a pompous ass

this is a clever copycat, and if you'll bother to look upthread, quite a few others thought so too. just because it's not up to your refined standards doesn't make it less clever. it makes you less interesting.

[JeffR]

93. Nothing refined or interesting about me that I'd claim

I expressed an unpopular opinion, it seems. I stand by it.

EDIT: goddamn typing

[MrCoffee]

96. as is your right. but you continue to insult ohiosmith, who made a clever

copycat. if you don't like it, hide it. or alert the mods and let them decide. CaliforniaPeggy was the first responder to the post, and she hasn't locked it, or as far as i know, even warned ohiosmith about it.

you think it's somehow taking away from the photography post, fine. quite a few people disagree with you (see the kudos for ohiosmith upthread). but to continue to belittle him for no apparent reason is childish.

[JeffR]

103. the belittling is pretty much working the other way, far as I can tell

I don't hide threads. If I have an opinion, I'll voice it. Silly me, I guess.

[MrCoffee]

106. i can give as good as i get, friend. you voiced your opinion

and i choose to disregard it as a bad opinion. have a lovely evening.

[JeffR]

108. You're within your rights about that

We all are, no?

[MrCoffee]

109. you're perfectly free to be wrong, that is correct.

[JeffR]

115. Izzis a great country or what?

[ohiosmith]

100. You did not express an opinion, you made an assumption and

called HypnoToad and me dopes. HypnoToad is no dope.

[JeffR]

117. The smartest person in the world can be a dope sometimes

So can you. So can I.

[Midlodemocrat]

91. ohiosmith is quite funny. And, he's a darn nice guy.

I would bet you $1000 that he didn't mean to upset you, nor denigrate the Photography group. I just don't see that kind of meanness coming from someone so lighthearted.

And, the pictures are absolutely fantastic this time around. In one of the polls, I couldn't choose because I couldn't decide. You guys do great work.

Back in college, I was a fledging photographer, but then I got married, had kids, etc. and I just can't find the time anymore. I still have my old SLR with the manual aperture and assorted lenses.

Maybe some day I will submit something.

:hi:

[JeffR]

97. I'm not speaking on behalf of the Photography Group

at all. Just my personal opinion. If I had to bet, I'd say ohiosmith is a little f'ed up, but again, that's my personal view.

[Midlodemocrat]

99. And you are entitled to your opinion, but I have to tell you

about ohiosmith, you have the wrong impression. He's a really funny guy and livens up the lounge quite a bit.

But, again, those photos are simply gorgeous.

[MrCoffee]

101. Rewrite history much? Post 19.

19. Thanks for belittling the work of the Photography Group

That's not speaking for the Photography Group?

[JeffR]

110. No, it is not

It's my opinion, period.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

120. "And the voice of reason steps in," so said the Total Queer.

:rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

121. It's a gift.

:rofl:


:hi:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

59. Oh snap!

:rofl:

[BarenakedLady]

23. Meanie!

:hi:

[Deja Q]

22. Nice to know you're attacking more than just me.

Now would you explain how copycatting a subject line is insulting a group of people who posted in the original thread?

[ohiosmith]

24. Self delete. You're right HypnoToad.

[Deja Q]

39. Thanks, I try to be.

Well, not always right but I try to get peoples' reasonings out rather than blindly attacking... but it's a shame when it's easier to pick than to talk. And pickers change the opinions of talkers...

[JeffR]

33. Hey, HypnoToad

People try to keep the contest threads kicked. Now suddenly people have to wade through the copycat threads while the real threads are languishing on the second page. I'll grant you this was funny, and I've posted some copycat threads in GD, but only when something really pissed me off.

As for your Ohio friend, I don't respond to people so mannerless.

[MrCoffee]

35. so ignore the copycat thread. you made it personal.

[ohiosmith]

43. Hey man, don't try to make up now.

[Deja Q]

45. Ohio's and mine were not the 8th-millionth copycats...

And it's a handful of people throwing insults that prompt others to respond. Indeed, you're just as much guilty for selecting two copycat threads and attacking people there while blatently ignoring the others (so don't talk about other people being mannerless). You started this problem, especially with the name-calling. THAT is mannerless.

BTW: Thank you for responding. I do appreciate it.

[JeffR]

54. I take back 'dope'

I'm sorry for getting insulting. But I don't like to see something like this.

[ohiosmith]

60. then just go away and all will be forgiven

[JeffR]

63. your forgiveness is as desirable as stepping on a rusty nail, chum

[Deja Q]

66. Oops, wrong post

s

[ohiosmith]

69. ok then, just go away

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

77. Tell ya what, step on a rusty nail

take a picture of it, post it, and we'll tell you if we like it.

[JeffR]

81. Oh, that's killer

:eyes:

[ohiosmith]

83. I'm starting to feel sorry for you Jeff. Give it up before it's too late.

[JeffR]

89. Geez, sorry to tap into your bottomless well of human sympathy

When it's officially too late, can you PM me so I'll know when to do the right thing and off myself?

[ohiosmith]

82. That's brutal man.

[Midlodemocrat]

92. Wow. What would prompt you to wish harm on another DUer?

That is definitely a very unkind post.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

95. What prompted me?

I don't know... karma?

[ohiosmith]

104. Man , you are on your game today.

[Midlodemocrat]

105. I am SO hoping that you forgot

the :sarcasm: smilie.

[MrCoffee]

107. read post #63 for the rusty nail reference.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

113. Just to be clear...

I do not literally wish harm on anybody.

When I tell a person to go fuck himself, I do not actually mean he should stick his penis in his vagina.

[Deja Q]

62. Apology accepted.

There were better ways to address your complaints, but we would have said the same - the intent was copycatting a thread subject line. Not making any coy comments at people doing the work. There's a big difference, and I know people who do dig at people by responding in posts that surrptitiously go back to others... (it's a universal thing...)

:pals:

[JeffR]

76. Got that, and thanks

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

49. Click the little "x" and hide the thread.

:thumbsup:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

46. This is where I say...Chillax dude, it's the fucking lounge.

Signed,

A photographer

[ohiosmith]

112. See you all next Tuesday. Fondest personal regards.

[buddhamama]

122. Locking

The thread has gotten out of hand and has become a Flame Fest.
A review of DU's Rules regarding Personal attacks is in order.
