So I just saw a a forum that was to tell people which models a certain photographer didn't like. I think it is a waste of time and creativity to post Models or Photographers that you don't like or didn't work well with. People please spend your time being creative , and less time on the computer make the shoot happen and work on your networking skills.

Seems to me it's their time to waste, or to use to decompress from all that intense creativity they have been forging the rest of the time when they weren't complaining.  Isn't it their decision how to spend, or waste, it?

Truth be told, I don't much like those posts either, but I don't think we can tell other people how to spend their time - or that they can't ever spend their time in a way that is not "creative". 

So I have to ask . . . do you suppose your post is an example of creative use of your time?  Or might it be more similar to the very thing you are complaining about?  Should we tell you not to make such a post?

It is a rare pleasure to be able to say:
Well said! I agree with you 100.0%.

Totally Missed the Point , I was saying use you time to make art . Don't spend all your time on the computer, Blah , Blah ,Blah . Really I don't give a fuck what anyone does , I just think it is petty , and childish to rant about others. I think we can all learn from each other.
