Anthony et al, This reply is a personal attack and quite out of place. Now, try to concentrate and read it carefully:
Who said I object to bad language as such? That idiot Maytola divines from my messages that I am a hypocritical prude who complains about bad language and then uses it himself. Can't you guys read English? Where do I say anything about language, bad or otherwise? Use all the obscenities you like, but stick to Pentax and photography for fucks sake! Calling a contributor 'Pencil Dick', implying that his head is full of shit, or telling someone to 'Fuck off' are nasty personal attacks and are out of place; as are derogatory remarks about individuals and institutions some of us hold dear. I've been getting hundreds of messages from pdml each day. Many of which have been one line insults; like those you might overhear in a school yard. And, while cleaning out all the shit, I'm sure to have deleted some messages that would have been informative. Why make it so difficult? Why do some of you find it so hard to keep your typing fingers in check? Until this group gets back to Pentax and photography it has no appeal for me. At the moment, for every one interesting post there are at least two, or even three, that are pointless rubbish. I was about to unsubscribe last evening when another stupid message arrived from Mr Maytola. And I won't be seeing his smart - at least he'll think it is - answer to this. But I will take a look in a week or two to see if things have improved. By the way, my name is Don. I started using the 'Dr.' salutation on my signature to distinguish myself from several other, well known, Don Williams'. One is a Country and Western singer, the other an illustrator of children's books. People looking for my novels (or photo-gallery) on the www turn up dozens of unrelated Don Williams' hits - I'm trying to fix that. In the remote event of any of you wanting to contact me it will need to be directly - for the time being anyway.
