To not give any replies to anything I post? Is it a group conspiracy? Is it hatred? Or are you scared you will be going against what you perceive as the "group" identity? The clique so to speak.

Maybe you can just relax and let people post what and when they will, and not assume that it's personal to you?

But I do assume it to be so. What do they want? My death?

For me, it's a calculated choice. I weigh all the pros and cons of responding to your threads and think to myself "what's in it for me?" (cuz that's how I roll). In most cases, such as this one right here, I decide the answer is "nothing". ...but look, I posted this anyway. That just goes to show that I often ignore my calculated choices and just go with my gut. My gut thinks differently - aside from always wanting to be filled with beer, it usually convinces me to post things that go against my calculated choices and against my better judgment and that I know I will later regret. Yes, my gut is more powerful than my reasoned thinking. As I sit here typing this right now, my "reason voice" is nagging at me that this is a waste of time and that I have better things to do. ...and yet I continue to type. ...maybe my gut just wants to be in your clique. ;-)

I sense a great deal of frustration and anger from you Fred.. I don't know what's going on in your life that's driving this, but you've been around here long enough to know that the clique bs is a myth. Basically anyone, and I do mean anyone, who participates in the forums in a friendly and amiable fashion is more or less immediately a part of the group.

I'm going to go out on a bit of a limb here and suggest that you simply try just relaxing and participating with friendly banter, don't worry too much about proving any points or any such thing - it's great when you can help the discussion, but just screwing around in the forums is fine too. Your general frustration and attitude have been coming through in your posts recently, making you seem aggressive and unfriendly.

Not that any of what you may or may not have done or were perceived as doing matters, redemption around here costs about 200 successful posts, give or take, from what I can tell...

Seriously though the best advice is to just relax and try to stop worrying so much.

As a final thought, you might even change your username, as human psychology is a deep and tricky thing, but your username might not be helping you out very much... I'm honestly not entirely sure why, but Rorschach really does conjure images of crazy people, ink blots, and a masked vigilante... Not exactly a "friendly" image if you understand what I mean... Kinda like going for bunnykiller or terroristbob ... *shrug*.. Hope this helps..

Creepy, obsessive, and aggressive.

I do not hate you Art. In fact i love your photography and what i perceive to be your mind at work.
But that's neither here nor there.
