D_Mac - 26 Sep 2007 04:16 GMT How many people rushed out and bought a Gary Fong diffuser?
Well here they are on sale for $2 each! Just about their true worth! Exposed with that masterpiece of a camera... The FZ 50 Panasonic!

I wonder if Gary Fong and his legal people know your making false claims about HIS product by saying it is a cheap Chinese knockoff.
Oh thats right, they do :-)

Totally hopeless people like you think the "Genuine" Fong diffuser is somehow worth $42 more than it cost to make. By anyone's standard such profit margins are a "Rip off". These Chinese versions are not exact replicas so there is no copyright infringement and Fong wasn't original enough in his design for it to be patentable. What you are seeing here is the culmination of YOUR freedom on the Internet.
The thing is no better and in many ways worse than using a sheet of tissue or tracing paper to scatter the light. You can achieve the same effect by using the bottom of a bleach bottle.
Gary Fong had a good old time making major bucks for a while. Now he's got some competition Whoopie!
I started selling wedding photography packages on eBay when no one else did. As soon as the wannabes saw my sales figures they jumped in and now no one makes enough out of it. Big deal.
The profits in this world are made by innovators, not imitators. By the time the imitators get their act together, a real innovator has made his money and innovated something else. You can choose to consider me ignorant if you want - that's your choice but to do that in confusion like you are here is your mistake... Whoever you are. You do have a name, don't you? Why are you hiding it?

[quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > > Doug Well no actually whats happening here Doug is that you have again created a post where you are comparing a product from a reputable professional, with a cheap Chinese ripoff that looks like a cheap plastic throw away drink cup with a hole cut in the bottom for the flash "Adapter" and a plastic lid. Side by side the Fong diffuser is much better built, and made from obviously higher grade components and without a doubt works much better. Then you go and post how the "Gary Fong" is ripping everyone off and in essence your saying the cheapie IS the Gary Fong with one simple sentence "How many people rushed out and bought a Gary Fong diffuser? Well here they are on sale for $2 each!" when clearly they are NOT the Gary Fong diffuser, squirm as you might, the simple fact is you are defaming a reputable Professional Photographer by your willful ignorance and blatant lies. And Yes I DID report this to Gary Fong via email today, complete with full headers from your original message, including the link to your defamatory web page, whether anything comes of this, I dont know, but I'm sure that if more posters started to report your on line defamation to the companies that you are defaming with your obvious and poorly executed attempts at manipulating images to show them in a poor light, then I'm sure that by the time these companies Legal departments get through with you, you will be back to shooting snotty 3 year olds at Christmas time with your trusty box brownie, because thats all you will have left.

[quoted text clipped - 86 lines] > Federal police. do you see the double standards there Doug, I suppose not, > because if you did, you might see why your in so many kill files. That's not exactly correct Bart. I complied with every law and regulation in existence when I became part of the Internet community. I started out with the belief if I followed the legal requirements of every Government department in Australia, I'd be "doing the right thing". That didn't turn out to be the "right thing" for me... just every lunatic on the planet who saw me as a soft target.
The day I went on-line, I published full disclosure of who the directors of the ISP company I'd floated were, as required by law. Ever since then I've had as my constant companion, I plethora of Federal Government investigators looking for information about my clients and their off-shore dealings. The shonky ISPs who never bothered to register escaped without any of that crap.
When I floated Technology Australia Pty Ltd to develop and market my enlargement algorithm, Linux software and digital photo printing service, I complied with Australian law and disclosed the names of the directors of the company where ever it was required. It is required to be put on the web site of every Australian business doing business or advertising on the Internet.
Ever since then, I've had as my constant troll One cretin calling himself Mark Thomas now but earlier using the name of Charles Stevens who despite my years of warnings, still persists in posting defamation and lies about me and my business. When he gets caught out, there's no apology just silence until the next time he goes ballistic. He's done that a little too often now and got my full attention.
Anyone in the world who takes exception to me fighting fire with fire, can (as some have) complain to my ISP, The AFP and the Queensland State Police. All those people have full disclosure from me, even though not all agree with how I am handling the situation.
At the end of the day I've had enough of people who hid behind forged and false identities, posting through anonymous servers and spreading lies about me and defaming my clients. I'm fed up with the interference to my business and my participation in newsgroups.
I'm not now of the opinion that giving back as good as they dish out is likely to achieve any sort of outcome likely to keep me seen as the innocent party. Now, I simply report the people who can't display on Usenet, the common courtesy they expect from people in real life... I lodge complaints to the authorities most able to take action against them.
It works sometimes, sometimes it doesn't but one thing I can assure you absolutely... If you never lie about me, post derogatory remarks about me and address me with a basic level of courtesy expected in day to day community existence, you'll never need to concern yourself with the avenues I use to ensure I get responsible communication from people.
You and anyone else are free to make whatever comment you feel like about my photos. You are not free to expect me to display them in a way that allows every tom dick and harry to download them for their own entertainment.
If you want to look at my pictures, see them the way I am prepared to show them. If you want to pass comment, do so without insults and without attempting to lit up a flame war... Is this expecting too much?

I have it on good authority that this is called "Defamation" last time I looked, that was an offence........
pretty much makes the rest of your rant a waste of time.

I have no qualms with you protecting your copy write, but do you think that a Judge is going to be impressed with your own defamatory web sites, http://www.julianabbot.com/legalactions/ has a whole front page that is essentially accusing Mark Thomas of doing all the things you apparently hate yet I see not one single "allegedly" or "was reported to have" on the entire front page, and until an actual legal judgement has been made, you are in fact defaming Mark Thomas. Again I point out your double standards. A third year law student would have you begging for mercy as the sheriff's were dragging all your possessions out to the truck so they could be sold off to pay Mark for his judgement against you. Do you see why no one here believes a word you say??

"This group" Bart, is made up of individule people with their own opinions. Where ever you got the idea anyone needs to "stick up" for me is beyond comprehension.
Plenty of people interact with me and we get along just fine. Why would you expect them to invite bad behaviour aimed at them, from a bunch of unsociable people by publicly "sticking up" for me when they have no need to do that?
I'm well and truly seasoned enough in this world to fight my own battles. I'd be quite disappointed if anyone not effected by the idiots stuck their nose in to "stick up" for me.
You really ought to get rid of the mob mentality thing and formulate a set of "life rules" for yourself. Only then can you expect any opinion you might express to be taken seriously.
As things stand, you seem to need a certain kind of highly offensive company before you can express an opinion. You know ...when I refer to the "sheep" in these groups, I'm talking about those who need mob approval before they do anything.
I'd imagine you are fatherless or else you had a father incapable of or unwilling to provide you with an education for success in life... Does that make you a loser? Only if you can't learn for yourself... Give it a try. You might be surprised at how people change their attitude towards you. It's no sin to be polite.
