And yet, you've provided neither proof to your claims nor or answers to those legitimate questions.I am not making things up. I am not avoiding legitimate questions.
Can you explain why you think running off to a more restrictive section of the forum is "more constructive?" What do you really think you're going to hear there that you haven't already heard elsewhere in this forum?I've chosen to spend my time in a more constructive conversation.
Let it go, woodsie. The analogy you're so bitter about is a year and a half old. Don't blame me because you've got a stick up your butt about it.maybe, CD, just maybe - caustic circular attacks like yours aren't worth replying to. it doesn't matter what we reply with, it just ends up being fuel for more posts that belittle others.
I know what you were going for here, but I just can't get past your poor grammar. I would probably take you a little more seriously if you didn't have the typing skills of a nine year old. How is it that a communications professional doesn't know anything about capitalization and punctuation?here is the anatomy of any given NPPA flame session you have been involved in:
I'm picturing a poster-sized dry-erase board hung haplessly above a desk in your basement at home. Do you rock back and forth nervously while chewing the end of a dry-erase marker in writing up these flowcharts, or do you pace the dusty basement floor?1) Bait - drop some unprovoked NPPA jab in the thread
2) Attack - pick out a phrase or two from a response (often times misleading) and flame it
3) Repeat - while ignoring any info that doesn't support your bash-fest
It would be very arrogant of me to claim I'm the reason "Kevin nearly shut the place down." It's very ignorant that you claim it.it's the same old stuff every single time. it is trolling at it's worst. similar posts are the same reason kevin nearly shut the place down less than a year ago. posts like yours in this thread do NOTHING more than drive people off the site.
I nearly sprayed my monitor in a thin layer of Starbucks when I read that. As if I should mope off and kick the dirt because some no-name crybaby doesn't like me? Oh, darn!i'm sure you've got yet another onslaught that you can't wait to reply with, but don't bother. Chicago Dog is now just another name on my ignore list, with all the other trolls.
I find it funny that you'd rather carry on your opinion of me in public rather than respond to the private messages I sent to you in order to clear the air.Well spoken woodsiecam....and I just activated ignore too. Wish I'd know about that earlier.
*sigh* so much better. I really shouldn't have waited this long.This message is hidden because Chicago Dog is on your ignore list.
Ah, yes. Rather than back up a former statement:I came back to see how the "ignore" works. Pretty cool, it even siphons off the older drivel.
... by answering a very straightforward, very valid call for proof:We couldn't have put on the conference without the NPPA. Everyone who participated in organizing the event knew each other because of the NPPA. We know what to teach because of the NPPA. We know how to teach because of the NPPA. Our bosses gave us time to do it because of the NPPA. The NPPA helped financially as well.
... you'd rather engage the ignore feature; the forum equivalent of "tuck tail and run." How very telling of a rabid NPPA zealot.I would love to see a breakdown of the funding as well as the number of people who attended the event. I'm very curious to see how much funding came from NPPA to help its video members out, especially after seeing this disappointing grant plan.
We've already covered this. For whatever reason, you don't bother to do any kind of research before condemning someone for their opinions.It's just that we never know when they are going off on a tangent or why.
it's gonna take a while for that to get oldThis message is hidden because Chicago Dog is on your ignore list.
Why are you still here? You're three posts over your one-and-a-half-posts-a-year quota.(Blah, blah, blah.)
still worksThis message is hidden because Chicago Dog is on your ignore list.
I don't get it! If he is on your ignore list, why respond.still works
I was wondering that same thing. Sorta defeats the purpose of the "Ignore" feature, doesn't it?I don't get it! If he is on your ignore list, why respond.
trolls hate it when they know you're not reading their posts anymore.I don't get it! If he is on your ignore list, why respond.
exactlyThis message is hidden because Chicago Dog is on your ignore list.
Which would make sense -- if I were a troll. I can't help it: watching you defeat the purpose of putting me on your ignore list is funny!trolls hate it when they know you're not reading their posts anymore.
