I'm just curious why this thread got locked. Usually the offending SC posts some lame excuse.

:-P

Dude, you should just have one big long thread where you gloat about your ribbons each time you get them.

Heh, well, until I hear otherwise I'm laying the blame equally on

bear_music and

MAK. There have certainly been many threads much more risque than that one.

My opinion it is a photography website and I have started ignoring all threads NOT pertaining to Photography. But just my opinion bragging is not what we are here for.

Let's see who is the first to slap me for being honest.

So nobody's ever made a post before saying anything to the effect of:
- POTD at such-n-such,
- won such-n-such prize at another contest,
- published in such-n-such magazine - newspaper, etc,
- the list could go on for quite a way.

I'm sorry you're so seriuos about photography, but I guess maybe I'm not because I don't make my living at it, it's just a hobby, for fun. As I see it, the worth in getting a ribbon is making a 'gloat-thread' and watching the politically correct crown go bananas; and the fun people take part.

Oh ya, in my opinion it's a digital photography challenge website, and I've never seen a rule saying no Sumo's allowed. Of course I think a rule was created saying no messing with the stats via bribes, maybe because of me. Maybe there will also be a no-sumo rule soon.

It might have something to do with anal sex? Just a thought?

LOL :-D The thought didn't even cross my mind, as I've seen long, long threads of material just as risque. But if it was, it would all be worth it just to see you type those words. ;-)

I must strongly confess that my ability to create mental pictures of you ramming Mr Pants's bone into your buttocks has caused me a restless evening, thus lay my excuse.

Although I must admit, Mr Pants is quite a hunk. BAH! talk to me when you get your 5th red THAT will be an acievement dude

I wasn't punching. I respect your opinion. I often agree with you. but I think that for all the people that don't want to hear Slippy there are as many that don't want to hear people bitching about their score (which is about photography) different strokes ya know.

I appreciate your honest opinion. Unfortunately, your logic is wrong. I type that with a smile on face. :-)

Hey Slippy ! Congrats on your collection:

Wow - you are really on the move dude. I mean you now have

I remember not so long ago you were boasting about

, and finally a fourth

.
Pretty soon you will have so many

that we will have to scroll so far down the page just see get past all the

's to see what's new.
Any plans on adding any more

's to your present collection of

?

I wish I had

, but alas I only have one

.

Anyway, congrats again on adding your fourth
