Note to newbies.

[minoltaman]

I think you may have told another lie too.

Those were just for starters. Don't worry there are so many they are not hard to find.

[minoltaman]

Show me one single example of any post I have made that snipes or flames or was "making trouble." Just one. You cannot. All my replies have been attempts to get you to stop attacking me for no reason and to post the facts in my defense. You keep posting that I am a "liar" then expect me to just sit back and ignore that?!

I just proved you a lier in the ps thread and flamer in this one. Very easy for everyone to see. Pay me my money. Better yet, keep the money and head back to inno.

Thx

[minoltaman]

You just did it again....

The only thing Trimoon said to you that you may not have liked was that you should "get help." And that sounds to me like a sensible suggestion.

You just did it again. i proved you a lier and a flamer pay me or go back do inno and stay there.

You can not go one stinking thread without making a snied comment or a bold faced lie. Otherwise known as straight flame.

Bye

Don, this sort of behavior is precisely why you were tossed off my site, and off RP, and others before that.

Pay me my money flameface

This is not flaming, it is a statement of verifiable fact.

Here you go you freaking inferno.

One final bit of info that bears repeating... Don Northup has been thrown out of eight (yes, 8!) photo sites for harrassing and abusive behavior. That's a red flag no thinking person would ignore.

Pay me my money

pure flame PAY ME MY MONEY you dishonest whatever you are

Again, what I said is what happened. No flames there. And yes, it is a red flag. It must mean something if so many admins had to toss the same person. There are examples of real flames in your post, however, right here: “Here you go you freaking inferno.” And in the first quote also: “Pay me my money flameface”

I am sorry you are ill,

You going to give me cash, check, credit card, or pay-pal. I found flame in absolutely every thread I checked.

Pay me my money flamer.

That’s not a flame. It’s 100% sincere. The fact is you honestly believe it when you say, "I found flame in absolutely every thread I checked." You see attacks where none exist, a clear symptom, Don.

Don, I truly am sorry you see me as your enemy, but I’m not. As I told you, it was not my choice to throw you off the site...too many others were upset and insisted. You see “flames” and “lies” everywhere you look, but they are not real, Don. You want them to be so you can feel better about being banned. But believing what makes you feel better is believing a lie. It’s much better to face reality and move on past the bad memories.

You just did it again....

The only thing Trimoon said to you that you may not have liked was that you should "get help." And that sounds to me like a sensible suggestion.

Others reading your posts have offered similar advice. When someone behaves as you do in a public forum, it’s a sign they are troubled more than the average person. When you can’t control your anger and it’s consuming you to the point where you post page after page of attacks and abusive remarks, this is a sign to those reading it that the writer would benefit from professional help in dealing with his anger. So, a suggestion to seek help is a very sensible suggestion. It’s not a flame. It’s a logical conclusion based on the behavior you show here.

He does take great photos though

[minoltaman]

Thanks, I shot all these from my window and porch when they tore up the street to put in new asphault in front of my house. The dude below wanted to buy some shots of him operating the heavy equimpment. He is running no hardhat and a cigar in some other photos but I did not upload them yet. I was just shooting for fun and just in case they tore my yard up too bad I would have a record.

What camera are you using?
I'm a film-buff myself and don't see myself giving up film for years to come but might be tempted to add a digital.

Cameras are just tools and I can see benefits in using a digital camera sometimes.

[minoltaman]

I use a Minolta Dimage 7hi. It was Minolta's top "prosumer" camera last year. It allows me to be ultra versatile and pretty fast with it's comprehensive feature set and adequate lens. I could not shoot film if I had to. I am a digital baby bigtime. I like film and film shooters but I could never afford to do wanted with film so I was just a vacation snapshooter.

I shot fish pics for a few years with my first digital and decided to get serious so I bought the Minolta. Wore the thing out in one year and 50K shots. No worry though, Minolta sent me a brand new one for this up-coming year no charge. I had a couple days left on my warrenty when I sent it in and was very happy to see a brand spanking new camera arrive at my door. Oh how I love the stiff fell of the new camera again.

I do agree with you, cameras are only a tool. I wish I had a couple more tools. But for a small, unobtrusive setup the 7hi will have to do me for another year, after that I plan to drop some cash on a fairly high-end system. If you are currious the new model is the A1 with fater Af and an image stableized CCD/lense system. I like it and the sony 828 probably the best or the prosumers currently. But their are a many good 5mp+ models around today. They all shoot pretty dang good in the right hands I would say.

Thanks again.
