MicrostockGroup

there ! i put puravida back , with the avatar of a guy, for you and gost to be turned on ! 

I am not sure,  maybe you should ask lisafx

ARGH.

I think that you are missing PB's point, and that was that the original "attack" was on this person who came from nowhere to spout off a whole lot of nonsense about something she clearly knew very little about. SHE is NOT making money on microstock because she is not (yet) participating in microstock.

I don't think PB was trying to draw lines of differentiation between the levels of contributor here, only between those who actually have real experience and knowledge of microstock, and those who clearly do not.

Hell, at this point I'd just like to see one thread make it through a grown-up on-topic discussion without the mention of lubricant.

And they wonder why people won't take them or their opinions seriously.

whatalife, good to hear from someone else other than all of us aforementioned.

my point is also missed.  whether someone is active or inactive is moot.
we had oldhippy, OP, and many others who were disqualified simply because they are not with micro stock, or more directly, disagree with the culture of micro stock.
they came in here to "rant off" what they know squat.
so what?

is this not a forum? why can't they say what they want?
if it 's not a fact, or whatever, what's the big deal about letting them rant?
we can respond just as loudly to that.
but don't pick on anyone personally, to attack them .

we know by history, our good friend who is departed sadly , who was very verbose and loud
and nasty to many people here. but the big diff is that he was never personally obnoxious. he never attacked anyone directly AS A PERSON.
i can mention another very QUALIFIED AND SUCCESSFUL MICRO STOCK PERSONALITY here as well,
who has been just as loud and outspoken. He too have never attack anyone personally,
no matter how harsh his response.

that is the fine line that is not crossed. the fine line that crude old cranky gost crossed many times.

so PB finds it offensive to read about CRANKY OLD MAN WITH MALE MENOPAUSE.
well, PB can go to the disney site if she does not approve of it.
she could tell me the same, if i don 't approve of gost and his excessive estrogen antics.
but hey, i like to kick arse as much as the other person.
like it or not, i am here to stay. and if i read what offends me, i throw back an equally offensive remark. tit for tat. twit or twat. male or female, it's all fair game.

someone before us laid the ground rules, we are merely playing by the same rules they play.

Sure this is a forum, but this person came in and managed to badly derail at least 2 threads by copying and pasting her same lengthy rant in multiple places, whether or not it was on topic where it was pasted. I would think this is against the rules of this forum.

I don't even know how Gostwyk got brought up in this thread. (and I can't bear to read back through 8 pages, mostly nonsense, to figure it out) The majority of the personal attacks I'm seeing are not coming from Gostwyk, and they certainly don't have anything to do with the topic of this thread as intended by the original poster.

I guess I would think that those who value this forum would be opposed to threads falling into mayhem as seems to be the trend of late. Nothing wrong with reasoned debate, even emotional debate if it at least sounds a little bit sane. The longer the stuff that has been going on continues, the more "professionals" we will have coming here to tell us what amateurish ignorant imbeciles we are. ... and from the impression being given to the outside world, it seems like a logical conclusion.

no, you are right. objectivity has been alluded from gostwyck's regular antics.

but i have to admit, your objective intervention makes good sense, right after  i read the response to persius.




ok, i too did not go back many pages to see that that person was not the OP of this post, and that she hijacked this thread.

good of you to intervene to point this out .

Ho ho up ya $, whatever whoever you are. New member, huh?
did you resurrect yourself from dracula's tomb or what?

better buy a thesarus ..while you're at it. E bay's got a good bargain. don't you ever get a spellchecker?

I am finished "hier" , if you want to know
