Careful what you say in Forums
I've made several postings on the forums and one came back to haunt me. You know how we can sometimes vent about about photographer or model w/out naming names. Well someone knew who I was talking about and went back and told the manager of the model who I had the problem and the manager got pissed at me. I was seeking others opinions of the situation that occured yet I was called crazy by the guy who told the model's manager. then w/o going into specifics the manager called my behavior regarding the shoot unethical and unprofessional. I was taken aback. I know I'm doing it again but what is the forum for? Dec 30 06 03:49 am Link But the guy you were talking about was crazy! The guy with no chapstick? who wouldn't wear the clothes on the list.... Dec 30 06 03:51 am Link You can take the adults out of elementary school, but you can't take the elementary school out of the adults - I guess there's little tattletales roaming these forums. What a surprise. Paul Dec 30 06 03:54 am Link Photos By Deej wrote: First of all: why should it be an issue with them if you didn't name names? This is why I don't deal with so-called managers! Dec 30 06 03:55 am Link If it's already bitten you once, why are you bringing it up again, in a new thread? Dec 30 06 03:57 am Link I'll say even better: "Be careful what you say. period."

Dec 30 06 04:09 am Link I remembered it  (MM is my life) lolDec 30 06 04:10 am Link Ok, I'm not naming names.. But you're all assholes.. Did it make you feel better that I didn't name names? If you're worried about the consequences of what you might say... Don't freakin' say it! This, "psst, psst.. Man you should hear about this guy.. Not namin' names, but you know the one I'm talking about......" is bullshit.. Grow up. Dec 30 06 04:12 am Link Actually, in his original post. He was asking if he was expecting too much from the model... Whom he paid. And the model pretty much didn't do a thing he was hired for I believe it was probably fellow forum members who called names. But atleast they know that everyone thinks they're stupid Dec 30 06 04:21 am Link W.G. Rowland wrote: thanks- well said. Dec 30 06 04:25 am Link Asking a question about a current situation.. Even in general terms.. In a forum you KNOW may well be frequented by the subject in question, people who know the subject in question, etc.. Be prepared for the fallout (however stupid and nonsensical it may be, and I have some first hand knowledge of that..) Or don't post.. Dec 30 06 04:26 am Link more poo poo on MM for my brain Dec 30 06 04:32 am Link mcStudio wrote: lol Dec 30 06 04:42 am Link (danced/listened to "That Smell" earlier tonight) No doubt, you guys - smelled something just like that (or death) coming up from a few posts into the self-nomination thread.  It's called jealous gossip. You're right. It is bullshit, and isn't surprising whenever you consider the source. Kathy Jean 3:55A CST Central Illinois W.G. Rowland wrote: Ok, I'm not naming names..

Dec 30 06 04:56 am Link god, I hate that whole situation. As long as you're not naming names & not trashing the subject of your post, but merely asking for advice, people need to leave well enough alone. You should be able to go on a forum & ask advice w/ out people trying to rat u out. I'm sorry this happened to you, but from now on I'd just pm the situation to 1 or 2 people on mm that you respect & have worked with to get advice. Dec 30 06 12:53 pm Link Why do you care what a sluggo says? Dec 30 06 01:58 pm Link I really can't see why you would be concerned about what you say in a public forum that anyone can read.

Dec 30 06 05:00 pm Link I try not to trash talk people online in general. It ALWAYS gets back. I prefer to do any gossiping in person, and only when the people I'm talking to are probably too intoxicated to remember (or at least remember reliably).

Dec 31 06 04:13 am Link I would think some people would be more embarrassed with whatâs in their profile/portfolio then what they say in a post, but your 100% right. Iâve changed my mind to work with a few people based on how they âcarryâ themselves in conversation. Crass and belligerent attitude is not a welcome mat for friendship in my opinion, so I choose to take a leave from the decision to work with them. Good post, thank you Deej. Dec 31 06 05:38 pm Link Model Managers ...... LOL ! Dec 31 06 05:43 pm Link I would think some people would be more embarrassed with whatâs in their profile/portfolio then what they say in a post, but your 100% right. --I agree with Craig on this one! Freedom of speech. As long as no one comes and hunts you down you'll be fine Dec 31 06 05:49 pm Link  Wow... twice in one day I get to use Taxi Driver quotes Dec 31 06 05:58 pm Link I think you should call it as you see it-- just don't complain about the flack when it comes back and slaps you in the ass. If I have a problem with talent, and the manager was the one who introduced, then its the manager I give the bad report to. If the shoot was set up outside of the manager's awareness, then its none of his business. If said manager chooses to try and give me attitude about my public comments, I'll let him know he's welcomed to kiss my butt. If you can not back up your thesis about someone else, you need to hold your tongue. Dec 31 06 06:20 pm Link Photos By Deej wrote: Are you right? If you aren't you should have never made the post. Otherwise, so what. Dec 31 06 08:08 pm Link Be careful when the urge to play Dirty Harry emerges. It is usually only successful in an Eastwood movie. And the person who deserves trashing just may also have a real '45 and no conscience. Dec 31 06 10:40 pm Link |
