One More Post About Bashing(To All Members)
My question to all members is...... If you were in a group of photographers and/or models, stylists,etc at some sort of get together, or perhaps had a client in your studio and another photographer/model was there, would you let a lack of tact and professionalism show in front of them as some of you have done here by bashing, name calling, cursing people out like you were a sailor,etc? Or would you be on your best behavior? The reason I bring this up is, some of the people you converse with or indirectly in front of(meaning online as apposed to being next to them in person) just might be potential clients, or might be until you started bashing. Just wondering of some people think about this.

What comes around, goes around. EDIT: This is probably the most hazardous thing to a career and reputation next to just plain making stupid mistakes left and right.

Feb 11 06 09:36 pm Link Some of it i would suspect is people not reading what is written correctly and "Assuming" this or that from what they read. The other half is people not knowing "How" to write properly or getting what they have on thier minds into written text. Its physically impossible to please everybody when all you have is a text box to put whats on your mind. Others will say whatever and dont really care how rude it is or sounds because they mean exactly what they say and how it sounds. These people are the ones who hide behind the privacy of the internet, distance between them and the one they are berating and the confidence that they will never meet the person so nothing will ever happen in the end. They know this so it makes them more confident to belittle others so they feel better at the end of the day.

Sar Feb 12 06 01:18 pm Link oh yeah? SAME TO YOU PAL!!! sorry, did i say that out loud? Feb 12 06 08:00 pm Link Wow! Guess I'm not reading the right posts. I haven't seen much of this. I've seen disagreements, but for the most part, the MM forums are pretty tame by most internet food fight standards. I have seen cases where people accuse others of name calling when there's a difference of opinion, but I haven't seen much actual name calling. On the other hand, I don't consider this a professional forum. I consider it more of a recreational activity. That doesn't mean politeness has no place, but when I have to start watching everything I say for fear of upsetting someone, then I'm outa here. When I look back on my life, I find that I've learned far more from the people I've argued with than the ones who were too polite to voice an opinion. -Dave I've been on this site for roughly 3 days and I've already experienced it (and admittedly participated in it). People tend to say what they want on these boards because there are no real-life repercussions...
