I like how all the posting last night where Street Spirit was making idiot comments as per usual got deleted. Way to go SS, must be nice to be able to go in and cover up your tracks.
Reminds of a stunt a certain someone else pulled on here once...

No worries though. You certainly do a much better job of making an ass of yourself than I ever could of you.

Anyway, if you want to say anything in response, please do it via PM from now on, as will I, if I choose. This thread has gone all over the place as it is.

I much prefer make an ass of myself. At least half the time some gets a good laugh.
Acting like a self righteous bitch all the time, well, yeah I'd rather be an ass.

You're even an extra-easy form of entertainment because you whine about the slightest thing, as if anyone on an online forum has any control over you or your actions, or even care. I find it rather amusing, yet quite sad. You're just too easy, and get so worked up. Hopefully you aren't like that in real life either or you'll die young from the negative stress. You point things out as if it'll make me feel bad or embarrassed.

I couldn't sleep a few nights ago, and your hilarious posts gave me something to do until I went to bed in the early morning. As mentioned, I deleted the banter because I didn't find it at all relevant to the contest itself (the main purpose of this thread). I had no problem with them being displayed otherwise.

There are some threads I truly am interested in and feel strongly about, but not every post I write is one I really care about...sometimes it's just to create thought or discussion. Does it annoy you? I guess so. Do I care? Not really.

EDIT: I want to change my entry. I figured this was more IN-TER-ES-TING and had a better story behind it!

In the past, people have been allowed to reprocess the same entry, and re-submit, but I'm not sure a consensus has been reached about submitting an altogether new entry. I think there was someone who tried to in the HDR contest, and minor dissent ensued. If I recall correctly, the reason given was concern about trying to one-up subsequent entries.
Given that particular argument, I don't see why you couldn't change your entry in this instance, as there were no other entries between the 2 you submitted. However, if it's been disallowed in the past (has it?), I think we should be consistent.
I do think we should discuss it, come to an agreement, and post it as a rule one way or another in future contests.

The photographer said I should get into Photography because I really have an "eye" for it. It humbled me to say the least. And you all inspired me to take it up. SO THANK YOU ALL! Im very happy I did, and find myself learning a lot from you all! ![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

The majority of photographers I have hung out with are very nice, open, and talkative about their craft.

Not saying there aren't people who aren't. I've just seen some photographers who arent very open to other people just walking up and making suggestions. Has nothing to do with sound being recorded.
I'm just saying he was lucky to find a cool one. I've been around both.

I took it as a complement because he now used that shot in his portfolio.
You might have heard of him.( If not not big deal).
His name is Kendal Carr. He has had shot in Maxim, HFM and a fe other big magazines.
