No more.
After having posted a thread on RRF -- not linking as I don't want Bob to find this place by link tracing, but it's titled "Just submit, d***it!" -- with advice on how to actually get into publication, I get a reply from some asshole named AC60, who writes:
"The special correspondent has this love hate thing for railfans who have an interest in and/or take photos of trains as a hobby. I will admit it was just a little arrogant to get up and spout out with this opener"
Apparently, it's arrogant to point out my employer is larger or older than any other rail publications. Apparently it's also arrogant of me to be proud of working with them. Apparently I'm arrogant for taking time out of my day to help someone get published.
This asshole can go fuck himself.
At first, I was pissed. I was about to post a message in the staff section to the effect of "no more, I'm quitting, that's it, I'm never posting anything helpful to anyone again." Then Russian (yes, Russian) saved me from that by asking a question I had to answer. So I posted a few more answers. You know what? I'm not doing anything wrong. So screw it. Fuckem. I'm not backing down. And I'm not taking it off forum, or private. He's a dick and he's going down.
I will NOT be fucked with!

PM'ed Ed, vented with him for a while on AIM, and also with Jonathan. Feeling much better now. Still a bit trampled on, and wondering what level of posting I really ought to be doing anymore. I feel I can't defend myself without making Choo look bad, and I don't want that.
It might be time to go incognito for good, soon.
So this asshole posted more crap about me during the night. Dave edited it and smacked him. Bob came online, saw it, deleted the post and him too.
While it's cool to have Bob back me up, this still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. I try and help railfans and get spit on. I bothered why?
Since Bob is a nice guy, and bought me dinner, and all that, I'm not going to just storm out on him. But I feel like being a lurker from now on. And besides, if I have to post anything, I can always use my other ID. Which, if it becomes more active, is going to be avoiding photography critiquing completely.
