That's about the first sensible post you've made this year, Andrew.

hehehe I just discovered that D-Macs copy protection dots as curtesy of a
transparent gif.gif, I just used the Adblock function of Firefox to remove
it and bingo, a dotless image :-)

Just so predictable D-Mac, so every time someone has viewed the page they
have actually been downloading the real image PLUS a the dots :-) as the
real image is the tables background
this is the url for the dots, just open the page in firefox, open adblock
and highlight

he has also put his copyright notice over the pic as text, he is obviously
too stupid to use MS pain and the text tool :-)

Everything has a reason, Avery. Even though the reason may not be known to
anyone but the person who has it. I had a reason for setting up that site
and I had a reason for posting some pretty average pictures on it. Those
reasons will no doubt unfold clearer to you as the next phase of the fight
with this loud mouthed Yankee mongrel gets into full swing.

Avery...
You can't offer a settlement to someone as Bret Hogan did and then go about
doing the same things that started it all in the first place and expect not
to get bloodied again or keep any credibility for your sincerity. He clearly
values his own needs for being a smart arse higher than that of the effects
of getting done over himself.

Hogan agreed not to do what he's just done in return for me removing
humiliating information about him and evidence that he too, published some
pretty terrible photos when the subject is spontaneous ...from the web site
I set up using his screen name. I've still got time to give it a substantial
make over and get some real effect from it.

I apologise to you if I understood you to have know it was my web site but
you actually thought it was his. I guess when Hogan used my name to set up a
taunt site on pbase to which he posted some of my client's photos for the
taunting, the confusion of ownership and identity began. I note with some
interest he is only doing this now on a newsgroup intended for Australian
participation and not his favourite group... Speaks volumes for his
character, doesn't it? Keep it going in my backyard while attempting to hold
me to an agreement in his own... Not going to happen.

When someone else decided the rules of engagement, it's up to the one being
attacked to devise a better defence. Mine is not to defend at all by to
attack with any and every available means I can muster. Attack harder and
with more force than I got attacked with. Your comment may have been
innocent. I had no way of knowing and I still don't know if it was.

One thing is for sure Avery... No one has the right to criticize another
person's work when their own is worse. Anyone who does it to me and doesn't
afford me the right of return criticism is a troll of the worst kind.

Why idiots from WA hiding behind binary smut servers in Italy and so called
"variable" IP addresses locally can't handle criticism themselves and
decline to post any of their own photos is something anyone reading this
thread needs to consider before giving me a hard time for retaliating.

On March 1 after we reached our private peace accord I predicted to a
friend that you'd blow up within 10 days. Eight days along now, and it
looks like you are right on schedule.  Maybe your paranoia has
outraced your meds, but the fact is that you just can't let it go, can
you?

Take this little page of yours, for example:
http://www.annika1980.com/D-Macs/index.htm

It's filled with lies.  Nice pic at the bottom, BTW.  I like the tile
effect. I see you've grown past just cutting off their feet.  Just to
correct a few inaccuracies on that page that you keep repeating, my
reaction to your lightning pic was, "Cool pic!"  Somehow in your
twisted mind you read that as, "Wow, you were an awesome photographer
to get a great shot like that!"  You keep claiming that I can't spot
the fact that it was a faked photo.  Yeah, whatever.  I have plenty of
your fakes and they are all laughably easy to spot.

Then you claimed that I held some resentment toward you after that pic
was posted.  Once again, not true.  My first battles with you were
when you were posting as Ryadia and making stupid claims about how
shooting RAW was unneccessary and how you could get identical results
from shooting JPG.  I didn't even know you as Douglas MacDonald at
that time.
You changed your name so often it was kinda hard to keep up.  I think
my friend, Mark Thomas, has the official roster.  Perhaps he should
post it to end the confusion.

The part about the pbase gallery I posted was true, but you
conveniently left out some of the details about what precipitated
it ... namely wishing death on me and other ugly stuff I don't care to
re-hash.

Then you claimed that some online friend of yours sent me these
dastardly pics of me which have been hidden away.  In fact, many of
them are from my own sites which have been readily available online
for over 5 years.  Hate to burst your bubble, Inspector Clouseau.

My point is, D-Mac, that your real problem is not me.  It's not Mark
Thomas and it isn't the scores of other posters who mock you and your
work.  The real problem is YOU.  You create enemies where none exist.
You are a delusional paranoid, plain and simple.  I'm not trying to
insult you when I say that ... it's just a fact.  I have tried really
hard to be friendly with you, but you just won't have it.

But I saw some sh.t this mornin' made me think twice. Now I'm thinkin'
it could mean you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And
pbase.com here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous a.s in the
valley of darkness. Or it could be you're the righteous man and I'm
the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like
that. But that sh.t ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And
I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', D-Mac. I'm tryin' real
hard to be a shepherd.

Let it go, D-Mac.

You're right... TODAY.
Check last Tuesday when I was due to head off.

I'll tell you now mate. I am very keen to get going. God only knows the
eventual destination is many weeks away across some pretty nasty oceans. I
am not the least bit interesting in cresting 20 foot waves in a 30 knot head
wind with a type of boat known to take off under those conditions. I'll sail
when it suits me, not you.

My name is not Tony Bullimore. I sail for the enjoyment, not the thrill of
getting into trouble I can't handle. The day a fuckwit like you can dictate
when, what or where I do anything will be the end of civilisation.
