Using the "F word" to describe a gay male is equivalent to using the "N
word" to describe a person of color. Both indicate intolerance, which is
the definition of bigotry. Both are grossly unacceptable on any forum. Of
course, when Robb erupts into obscenities and name calling, most list
members consider it amusing. "Oh, that's Bill," they say. Well, it's time
for Bill to act like an adult, and it's time for list members to stop
excusing his behavior.
Paul, if you want to rein me in, then you also need to rein in people who
would control what subjects are acceptable.
As an example, this little spat was instigated by a member who would have us
desist with technical discussion because he has no use for it.
I have no use for pictures of little girls at play, will you stop posting
pictures of your granddaughter to appease me?
My recent lack of activity on list is indicative of my ongoing realization
that it's relevance to my photographic interests.
Perhaps it's time, after a dozen or so years, to say goodbye.
William Robb
