I don't know D-Mac, never had the pleasure of meeting...him? her?..but
I know some things about getting along with people. I scrolled through
severak posts, and D-Mac evidently has angered a lot of people, and
others like him. If D-Mac HAS behaved so terribly,hating...him?...will
accomplish exactly NOTHING good, in fact, people who hate and resent
and won't forgive others often wind up dying YEARS younger than people
who are better at letting go of angry thoughts and feelings. Also, the
more you rave on about someone you hate, the more miserable you make
YOURSELF,the psyche often heals itself unless we persist in ripping
off the scabs and bleeding and hurting some MORE.
If the person is REALLY bad, sometimes forgiveness is best
accomplished LONG DISTANCE. I know that my ex and I get along FAMOUSLY
now that we live 1200 miles apart.
So let it go, and go on a shoot, and decide that you've been angry and
bitter long enough, and it's ending TODAY. Get on with your life, and
let the dogs bark.

Noble sentiments, Cindy, but:

1) Doug makes me laugh. A lot. That's got to be good.
2) Others need to know of his deceit. That's just honesty.

There's more, but...

Oh yes...
And watch out for the pigs flying overhead.
I appreciate what you are saying but the whole issue is actually not
about me but about numb nuts and his brigade of not so merry men being
able to target a known identity. One who is for the most part,
everything they want to be and can't.

"Let's destroy him before he shows us what a pack of losers we really
are" syndrome.

I guess you've realised by now, all the posters here but me and Brett
Douglas are concealing their identity, often using assumed names like
Mark Thomas so they don't actually exist anywhere but in their own
twisted minds and this nowhere place known as "cyber space".

Jeff Ralph is a pathetic figure deserving more of pity than scorn. Like
many of the idiots here he believes if he can't do it, it can't be done
at all. Void of feelings, he exists in his own world where Latin
artefacts inhabit his thoughts as if he were truly living in ancient
Rome. The hate of Nero is ever present in his mind as the intoxication
takes hold of his soul.

As for the others?
most are having as much fun as I am without doing any serious harm. It
is when people like Mark Thomas (AKA Charles Stevens) take it upon
themselves to live their own lies as if it were their real life that the
damage gets done. Not to me but to themselves. It really is pathetic
that someone needs to create a whole new history of their life just to
gain credibility on Usenet.

http://www.marktphoto.com/whoami.htm if this fellow really did know
anything about photography, he wouldn't publish this load of armature
assumptions. Darkness inhabits his soul. It shows in what he believes
are good pictures.

Way back in 2005, Charles Stevens (now calling himself Mark Thomas) used
a South Australian Government workstation to post a great deal of
defamation and lies about me and my business. Since then he's been
hiding in Queensland under an assumed name and taken me on as his pet
project.

How bad is it that an idiot with no talent gets a fixation on a
legitimate business person and begins to spread lies and aspersions
about them? His envy is so intense he's turned to stalking me.

Jeff Ralph - The Rooty Hill Feral - is rapidly following in his
footsteps. These trolls contribute next to nothing to photography or
society but manage to spread their hate all over the world.

If you ever ask why so many ISPs around the world are dumping newsgroups
as a service, look no further than the defamation, slander, intellectual
property theft and lies circulating about me and you'll discover I am
not alone.

Why do you thing Pro Photographers don't have anything to do with these
groups? Because these couple of idiots and the Tennessee jackass are so
mindful of their own shortfall they attack anyone and everyone who looks
like showing them up for the idiots they are.

While all this is going on... The web sites of mine they target are
rising in their search rankings. Every site I can show a client that is
returned in the first 10 search results guarantees me I can earn an
extra 10% on top of my regular price to optimise their sites.

So while the sheep jump and dance to my tune, they are doing me a huge
favour I otherwise have to exert a lot of effort to do. Now you have my
reason... Go ask them theirs! ROTFL.

Oh, D-mac, don't be so modest ! It is all about you because you are such

That's your moto indeed. Must suck to feel like a looser all the time.

Yes, we have noticed how you use your real name all the time Nice Mice err
I mean Idigo Blue err I mean D-mac or whatever your name might be this week.

Don't worry D-mac, you are still the number one liar and bullshitter on
usenet. With your amazing abilities you are gauranteed the number one spot for
years to come.

Wow, this Mark Thomas guy really gets to you. That must be why you
threatened to take him to court several dozen times, but never actually
carried through with it.

Yes, it must suck to be you D-mac. If you weren't such an a.shole all the
time maybe Bret or Mark Thomas would be willing to help you become a better
photogrpher and then you would be able to get a legitimate business too. Then
maybe you could stop spreading lies about everone who you think is better than
you.

Talking about yourself again D-mac ?

Don't know about you but my ISP is adding newsgroups. Maybe if you had any
kind of paying job you could get a better ISP !

Oh, I see, it comes back to you again. I'm sure all those ISP's dumping
newsgroups are doing because of you D-mac. Oops, wait just a minute, are you
the one who calims he inveted the internet ???

Because of a.sholes like you and Rita that come in here and disrupt the
group.You are jealous of just about everyone in here because they can take
better pictures than you two. You claim to be a pro wedding photographer and
Rita claims to have the best equipment Nikon makes but neither of you can take
a decent photo to save your a.s.

Because these couple of idiots and the Tennessee jackass are so

I think they just like toying with loud mouthed a.sholes.

Just keep in mind that 10% of ZERO is still ZERO, D-mac.

I'll bet those sheep jump when they hear you sneaking up behind them ! The
D-mac ranch were men are men and the sheep are nervous !

It's not so much hate, as calling him out for his lies and
deceit. Aside from the poor business ethics he has
demonstrated numerous times, he comes on here and says
things that are just plain wrong.
For example he advised someone (Jeff R?) that they should be
doing their panoramas by moving linearly rather than
rotating the camera around the nodal point.
Or the time he tried to explain how to get good quality
prints, and came out with a heap of garbage about frontiers
having their black carried as part of the green signal.
Or more recently, when he took a photo of a long-billed
corella and tried to call it a galah. He is consistently
wrong, and when someone tries to correct him he becomes
aggressive.

Nice in theory. And at one time there was a truce between
D-Mac and Bret. But guess who the first to break that truce.

I'd love to go on a shoot, but my main camera has been away
at repair for 8 weeks, and now my standby has gone south.
Plus the weather at the moment is terrible.

Well now. Doug Jewell demonstrating his inability to recall events.
That's OK, he's been pretty hazy with vital information in the past, why
let the truth interfere with his attack now?

It was Troy Piggins to whom I suggested should try "stepped out"
panorama instead of making boring old rotational ones like everyone
else. He actually seemed to have some interest in producing startling
photos.

If the retard from Rooty Hill hadn't tried to make himself out to be a
genius, I probably would have shared the pano I made of the harbour
front which incidentally has been sold on canvas and vinyl to a number
of marine identities in Manly. So much for his juvenile antics.

As for the Frontier?
Absolutely uses the green channel to carry it's black information. Then
it makes a mix of the primaries to produce it's version of black at the
time of printing.

Nothing new in this. My lambda did it just as all RGB devises, be they
printers or television sets do the same thing. If you have not got a
handle of that yet, maybe your bigoted attitude that you know everything
is the reason for your latent stupidity and God awful photography?

Liar!
You have not produced that picture and you certainly have not sold it, on
canvas or vinyl or any other medium, to any real-world person. You know you
haven't, Doug.
You know you can't.
You know you're lying.

Prove me wrong!
I dare you!

Just post the proof.

Name the "marine identities" in Manly. Drop a hint. Show us the print.
..but you can't, can you. Liar.

Oh - and by the way - I've told you before: "Rooty Hill" is a direction,
not a location; at least when talking to you.

Another thing - please point out where I have claimed to a "genius", in any
way, shape or form.
I'm sorry if I intimidate you so, Doug. You'll just have to come to grips
with that.

For pity's sake, Doug, take the pills before your relapse hits you hard.

OK, so it was Troy instead of Jeff, which I knew I wasn't
100% sure of, hence the question mark. But the rest of the
story is the same. You suggested doing a "stepped out" (to
use your made up term) panorama instead of a rotational
pano. You then went on to claim you had created a "stepped
out" panorama, which was subsequently proven to be done by
rotation. You lied.

Whether you sold it or not, doesn't change the fact that it
wasn't a linear panorama as you claimed.

Utterly mangled. I guess you are partly right - 1/3 of the
"black information" is carried in the green. Apparently
according to you, black is a colour in it's own right is it?

> Nothing new in this. My lambda did it just as all RGB devises, be they
> printers or television sets do the same thing.

You really have NFI do you? I can only assume that your
"green channel to carry it's[sic] black" garbage comes from
a misunderstanding of composite video signals, which have a
luminance channel. Other than the basic principle that
colour is made from a combination of Red, Green & Blue
light, there is very little in common between between
television signal transmission and digital printing.

<Sarcasm>Ouch that hurt</Sarcasm>. Considering the source,
that is most definitely a compliment.
