You know, "Frisca" or whoever voted to close that thread, the one post of the URL by dassilem in that thread really isn't enough in my opinion, to call the poster or all of the supporters, liars. That seems wrong to me.

I think DPC is giving too much power to people who think they know what they are talking about and free rain to pass judgement, close threads, and to call other users scammers. Please.. if you have more information then I for one would like to hear it! But if you don't, then stop the BS control freak garbage because you are ruining the community.

When someone gets busted for shoplifting, does the store management assemble all of the other customers and let them decide the alleged perpetrator's fate?

Why are y'all talking about this at all right now, in this place?

because the "shoplifter" came back in the store and demanded an apology from all the customers.

OK Di, good detective work, you will probably have a future career in dective work because of these findings.. Who gives a flying f___ in any case? I saw ONE url post to a website in the original post. Does this really matter even if we are going to assume they are guilty of lying? No. But what if they are NOT guilty?? Don't you think that the harm in that case would be 10 times worse them the "benefit" they may have gotten otherwise?

I would personally rather assume the SC has done their homework and have a very valid reason for not only a) locking the thread, but b) keeping it from the rest of DPC. Personally, I don't care to know the sordid details, it's enough to know that my interests are being protected. Something red-lighted that post and it seems like an investigation was given and something warranted it being shut down.

Good enough for me.

Anything else would just be rubbernecking and drama hounding.

Just because some people only saw one URL doesn't mean other people have only seen one URL.

And don't forget the harm caused when people find out they've been played for fools on the internets with a few clever tugs at the ol' heartstrings... that'll destroy your faith in people real fast.

Hahahaha, spoken like a good kool-aid drinker. :) Well it's not good enough for me. More people need to question authority and the decisions others make. If you don't, you aren't a patriot or anything similar, you are a fool. Patriots question authority.

When warranted. Nothing in this case leads me to believe it's warranted, but you go right ahead, nobody is trying to stop you.

As for fools:
Only fools rush in
Fool me once, shame on you...
and, The best way to convince a fool that he is wrong is to let him have his own way.

If you actually want answers, perhaps you should learn to phrase your questions differently. If not, then by all means, rant away.

i think this thread may have just done it for me with dpc... i don't think im as perfect as the majority here, so i obviously don't belong...

sorry to hear this brookelyns bridge...

note to self, NEVER tell dpc anything, they already know everything....!!! and if not, they'll make it their business....

some of you really need to venture outside and get involved in your own live's


Roadrunner, I'd personally hate to see someone go because of some stupid sh!t. Your here for photography and NOT to make friends. If you understand them and be friendly but not befriend then you will be better off here. You can also take that advice into your everyday life. Your friends are your friends and they are true to you but be leary of people on the net. On the "net" they can be anything and anyone.

What, so you can be lazy? I was able to collect enough info to satisfy my own (immediate!) suspicions without even leaving the DPC forums. See, you just click on her profile... then see where she's posted... then read it... then maybe Google for a minute or two for more points on the graph... simple really. Where's your patriotic can-do attitude?

OK Mouseie... "without leaving the DPC forums" and then "Maybe Google for a minute" are a little bit contradictory don't you think? The information I'm presented with are here, on two threads I have read. If you have more, give it to me, or shut up. :)

Just because I went the extra distance to validate the impression I got from reading these forums does not make my statement contradictory at all. If anything, it demonstrates my openmindedness, in that I felt it was important to use more than one source before coming to a final conclusion.

Frankly, I'm bemused why you think my assertion that other people may have done some investigation and come up with the same conclusion that I have is such a problem and requires me to prove anything to you. All I've pointed out is that one person, me, did so, and that it's quite likely that others have as well. Oh, and I made a tasteless joke about a car accident.

My parents always made me look stuff up myself when I was a kid, and now that I'm older I think it's an excellent practice, as much as I may have found it unpleasant at the time. So no, to either of your requests.

I would like to know why the SC is not speaking up on this one?
If the reasons she was called a lier are 'secret' Ok , but at least they could provide an explanation why they can not speak about..

Why the mistery?
Why this 'dogmatic' attitude?

I'm in agreement there. Not that I care deeply or even have a sense of morbid curiosity, but although I didn't post comments in the infamous thread, I read it and was impacted by it and then when I saw the lock and SC post, it seemed like jumped conclusions - have to piece together circumstantial information and I still don't know what story to believe.

The most bothersome thing about it is that every "I lost my job" or "My wife has cancer" type post will be immediately suspect from now on. I hate that.

Seems like a clear, official, detailed account by the SC should be posted to prevent others from being afraid to post anything for fear of being called a liar by the SC.
01/26/2006 03:40:20 AM · #47
The SC did what it thought was best for the site. If it posts a series of assertions of wrong doing by the O.P. they would be risking a possible lible action to satisfy your and my curiosity.

If they are wrong about this, they ought to say as little as possible before they can talk witht the OP, and make any needed apologies.

If they are right about this, they are dealing with someone with a serious problem, and ought to try to deal with it as discreatly as possible.

Inquiring minds may want to know, but it isn't your right to know.

Are we having fun yet?

Sorry for the delay guys, I think that it's inappropriate for us to post exactly what information we found, however, it appears that some of you have found some information on your own. Please keep in mind that we are not trying to drag anyone through the mud, which is why we remained quiet on the issue. Our intent was simply to raise awareness, and then let it drop. Fact of the matter being that due to other information received, researched, and presented to us, we have enough information to suspect that the accounts are not entirely truthful. I was not hugely active in the discussion, but do know that SC wishes NOT to make this a public debate regarding a specific member.

Do not fear posting your personal tales, SC is not racing around looking for traumatized people to pick on. This was a case where information was presented to us, we looked further into it, and came to a conclusion.
I know it's vague, but please respect the decision of the SC and trust us that we felt we had enough information to make this decision.
01/26/2006 05:02:21 AM · #50
SC, you have my vote, my respect and my support. Thanks for also protecting us even in the light of perhaps catching some flack yourself.

And thank you for maintain a high degree of selfrespect and even respect for those who obviously are in the wrong. The lesson to all of us is never to sink that low... you may get some mud on yourself should you go down to a level most of can only imagine or get nightmares about.
