by slander do you mean "defamation" or do you just mean arguing..

slander(libel)is when you you purposely make untrue accusations about someone...i haven't seen that here..but i do see a lot of arguing.

Net-Model is a primarily UK forum.  It's one big circus over there... so I don't think it's limited to the American's.  This is more of a situation where content reflects attitude.  You don't get this on the pro sites, but on the more "consumer" grade model portfolio listing sites this is pretty common. You can come in with good intentions wanting to share, learn, and help... but after a while you give up and just join into the chatter (if you don't flee) and accept it for what it is (or isn't, as it were!).

For me, when I'm posting as a reaction- it's usually as a result of condescending posts.  Above as an example.  Austin provides a lot of great info in his posts and on balance seems like a decent human being.  Still many of his posts reflect his view of 2 kinds of photography: his world (commercial, agency driven, good) and any other photography or modeling (in his words: consumer, internet, amateur, etc). 

Posts like these cheapens others by labeling ("consumer grade" for this whole site- thus sort of inferring that eveyone on here is not a real professional or we would be on a more professional site).

I think people may need to think a bit before posting- then less reactionary posts will occur.

My two cents

Why do people have the need to be so dang serious?  I have to be honest - I would never want to work with a "professional" that came off as cold and or stand-offish. I have never hired someone that was unable to crack a smile during an interview.

FACT 1: I am a very mediocre MUA and do not suggest otherwise.

FACT 2: No one has ever hired me for my outstanding MUA skills

FACT 3: Near everyone that has ever hired me has said, and I quote, "I really just wanted to meet you."

FACT 4:  I have been re-booked by the same clients because - gosh darn it, they like me.

I guess having a personality doesn't hurt after all...

I work for a large professional corporate company doing Accounting as my full-time career(I simply love my job - I will never quit it).  We pull pranks on one another, pick on one another, some have "mooned" others, we are just outright childish and "unprofessional."  But we are close like a family and we work together as a team. 

:::Play the national anthem in background:::

The fact is, for all of our silliness... it is our ability to laugh and joke around that brings us close and unites us. Professional or not in behavior - we are a multi-million dollar company...

It is crazy but true! I've seen more adults argue at a kids softball game than the kids playing. This is normal behavior for adults? Then it should be ... "why can't we get along like kids?"  Children don't fight like us adults do!

It gets silly most of the time, but just keep your sense of humor ... don't take us clowns too seriously!  LOL

Becuase if everyone agreed these threads would be boring and pointless.

Sometimes two people on both sides of a heated issue are both right.

Often people tell me that I am childish or childlike.

I find it the highest compliment.

I may throw a rock at your house but in the morning,  all is forgotten.  Well at least by the afternoon.
