I believe when a person edits a comment on the forum the original should remain as was originally posted. Any changes made should be shown under that. Reason being is someone who comes in on a forum after everyone has commented concerning the original thread and the original thread has been completely changed doesn't get a very clear picture of why all the comments before his are what they are. This has just happened and the original thread was totally changed at 7:26pm. Another person comes on at 7:50 reads the original thread (the apology), the others that follow and starts in on those of us who responded and he can't understand what we are saying. The remark made was "he's already apologized for his outburst". This was not so when I left the house. When I got back he had totally erased his original post and this time apologized for the outburst instead of his original thread. Of course this person doesn't even know about the original outburst. And we are thought stupid and ridiculous. Still having the original thread there AND the apology would have made MORE since. Just a thought.

But then we'd also get to see whatever you edited in your message too...
I don't think good manners should be enforced by the code on the site, but people should probably not change entirely the meaning of their posts after they have posted them. I'd agree with you that that is rude. |

That's why I often use the quote feature... The original message I'm responding to can't be 'editted out from under me'...

oh grow up. people make mistakes sometimes. it's a person's right on this forum to retract things they didn't exactly mean. sometimes this site can be aggrivating. sometimes people get angry. sometimes people post hastily in the rant forum.
and sometimes they regret it, and do their best to take it back.
now, be a mature adult about it. instead of acting like an immature 16 year old and taking your dislikes of them into another thread. it's not a huge deal.

Taking mu dislike of whom to another thread. This has nothing to do with that except I read from the top down again as would someone just coming on and it doesn't make any sense. It appears that the first few people are out in space somewhere responding to who only knows what. It just doesn't make for continuity and good flow. Just wanted to see if others understood and felt the same way. Maybe give a suggestion of how we can work this out. I'm not too ashamed to admit when I've blown it and apologize. But it is not very grown up to totally erase what you said and then just say "Hey, I apologize". Which he did not and I am not saying he did.
Edit - I will welcome anyone to see everything I write. Yes they can read my original and my edit.
Arachnophilia - what in the world have I ever done to you that makes you attack me no matter what I say or do? I do not understand your dislike, which almost appears to be hatred, of me. If I've done something tell me so I can apologize and you can get off my back and we can get on with life. It's people like you that make me want to leave here. Not saying that to hurt you but to let you know how you affect me and maybe someone else too. This is no place to take on a personal vindetta. OK? Let's agree to disagree on whatever and be friends. OK?

you dont need to brand all 16 year olds as immature. EVERYONE is immature at one time or another.
im tired of this. im done complaining. it solves nothing i have concluded, which i already knew, but irresponsibly forgot.
Now let us forget about the whole thing.

that's not what i meant. it was more of sarcastic reply to the idea that "16 year olds are newbies in life"
plt: i don't hate you. i really don't. you just said something i disagreed with, and were attacking someone unneccessarily. i really have no bad opinion of you.
sorry if i went a little over the top. (i'll even leave my original message, just because)
as i told you in the other thread: your comments have always been respectful towards me, and towards everyone else's pictures i've your posts on. you're very mindful of the fact that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. i respect that. you gave me better comments than "OOF!" and "Artifacts!" and even though you voted rather low on both my pictures before, i respect that you told me WHY. you haven't contributed any of your own photos here yet (unless there's one in the current challenge) but i imagine i would respect your work, as well. (in fact, i'd be interested to see some. that's why i came here in the first place, not to hold petty arguments on bulletin boards)
i just don't like to see someone accuse another person of immaturity based on lesser age, and then act in a similar way themselves. don't misconstrue that as me disliking you. sorry if i came off the wrong way. kind of immature of me. :/
friends?

Two things.
1) I haven't submitted yet because my photography is of my likes - cute grandchildren and my cute pets, plus some others but mostly these and any insects I find. When I do submit I am more interested in Mr. Everyday Person's remarks more than the so-called professionals or professors. I do photography to keep that moment forever. If you look at "my favorite photos" you will see my likes. I would have all of these hanging on my walls right now if I could. They are just fantastic in my opinion and are to my likes.
2) The second thing I want to comment on is this. I apologize to you for taking so long to get back to you. I do consider us friends and hope to remain that way, no matter how much we differ on our photography likes and dislikes. Your apology is graciously accepted and appreciated.
Have a good day and week and lets fight it out with our photos. I will get brave enough to submit yet. And when I do you had better look out because I'm going to swamp you. And you can quote me on that. How's that for a challenge.
Take care, and God bless......Becky

i understand about capturing the moment. it's why ALOT of people, not just you, are into photography. strangely, it's not my reason at all. i find photography too perfect of a record for me. i've never kept a diary for that reason. there are photos i take that remind me of things, but it's usually a merely personal association. i'm just the kind of person that likes to live in the present (and more recently the future) than the past.
instead, i look at photography as i looked at other forms art previously. i draw reasonably well, and i paint a little (abstract), and do some digital art (which lead to digital photography). i look for beauty of the present, not memory of the past, and see photography as just another interpretive medium.
but i do take SOME snapshots, admitedly.
but any differing perspective we have on photography is merely because of that.
my mother is a photographer, btw. she uses a 20-some year old nikon slr to take... well, snapshots. i hated posing for pictures as a kid, she'd take like 15 minutes to focus and set f-stops and whatnot. i'm tempted to buy her a small digital camera, point and shoot, and tell her to get over it... if it weren't for the fact that every now and then a snapshot turns out to be an incredible work of art. she just won a photography contest locally for a picture she took of a friend's child feeding seagulls at the beach. it'd definitally do well here too, it's got the cuteness factor, and the artistic factor, and good technical skills. it's just on "real" film. so it's not like i don't appreciate snapshots, or anything.
actually, come to think of it, most of my photographs are actually snapshots. just with a different goal in mind. i tend to randomly aim, too. lol.
as for #2, don't worry about it. i was just worried i'd really pissed you off good and you weren't coming back. i wouldn't like to have that sort of thing on my conscience.
differences are good. i've always believed that.
