Post by downhill »

An amazing photo.....


*click here*

This thread is about the pic and not the inauguration.

See if you can find the seams.

Shouldn't this be posted in the digital media forum?

:p

Very cool shot, you can see almost every individual face.

Isn't there a tree outside for you to piss on instead of this thread?

If you followed the link before opening your mouth you'd see that, just as stated in dhd's post, it has nothing to do with the president and everything to do with the picture.

Once again, you're missing the big picture :D

Saw this a few days ago both on CNN and genmay. If you dig deep enough in the photo, there are some very interesting things to find. Such as an old style large format camera (the kind with the bellows on the front), and various celebrity sightings, as well as snipers on top of the Smithsonian tower...

Hell, I think Jack Bauer may even be in there some where...

Hmmm, interesting how you call him a troll.

Answer this. How many threads have you moved?
I'll go ahead and answer it for you. More than you can probably count.

John, he was trolling. The thread is about how the pic was made, not about the president. :irate: Just because dhd called it out, doesn't make him wrong.

Exactly, and thus it should be in the digital media forum. Not the general forum.

There are 2 sets of standards. One for the members and one for DH

IMO he's not calling him a troll for suggesting the thread is in the wrong forum.

I agree (although I've got mixed feelings about the digital forum's existence) and actually posted that sentiment first.

He's calling him a troll for thread crapping, pure and simple. The thread has nothing to do with the inauguration, not does the link, short of it being the image subject.

Had you just stated your opinion about it should go to the dig media forum, that would have been sufficient...

Instead you twisted it up....

Why are you not also in Mountianman 's thread telling him it should be in the hardware forums ?

And what is with the snide remark? Couldn't you have just said something to the effect of, "Downhill I feel this should be posted in the Digital Media forums, not the General Discussions."

Humm.... That wasn't your point at all.


.I rest my case. My initial post was correct.

In fact I stated at the beginning that this about the pic. It was you and JC who turned it into something else. I suspect you both had help but hey.....

Have a good day. :)

Here is what we know. GH is the same ole person as always who would have had no problem with DH's link if it had been a Republican. JC looks for everyway possible to criticize DH and found yet another loophole to do it. Seriously JC your Anti-DH obsession is becoming creepy.

Now back to the subject at hand. It's an interesting link and site no matter which person it is targeting.

Are you really calling me an ass hole? I'm in a pretty good mood right now, but that can change if you want to keep that up. One thing I simply do NOT tolerate is people swearing at me. You care to tCare to take that back or do we have ourselves an issue here?

GH there is one way I look at your opinion. I read it and then assume the correct response is the opposite of what you think. Every once in awhile you can surprise me. Right now not so much though.
