Re: Medi + DX = Medix
Right. So you are both calling Trustmaster a liar.
No I did not take credit. And the pointers included more than a tripod. I will not have that conversation with you again. We could go back and forth forever saying 'you will never realize that you are the one with the problem'. Maybe we're both right.
I will fully admit that I was being condescending in the above post in this thread (obviously, and I'm not proud of it), but because I am defending Thrustmaster's honor I'm conceited.
And Rory basically saying 'I could never be wrong about this because I went to film school' isn't conceited.
If Thrustmaster had not expressly said that he did not photoshop those pics I would not have gone out on a limb with that last post. Yes I had said that I doubted the pics were Photoshopped from the start, but I would have left it at that if I hadn't gotten Thrusts word.
I am not an expert in photography. I constantly mention that I'm just a point-and-shoot guy. I have no illusions of my personal ability when it comes to photography. If Thrust comes forward and says, "you know, I did enhance the brightness around the Joker's face", or anything like that, I wouldn't even hesitate to admit that I was wrong and just made an ass out of myself.
I. Wouldn't. Hesitate.
I admit that all the time. I don't see you (NAM) acknowledging all those times when I am sincerely self deprecating. You just love to interpret every other post as conceited. You will no doubt consider this post to be conceited.
Bottom line here is that I would rather live in a world where I trust people's word more than my own perceived expertise. And if it could be proven that Thrust was lying, I still choose to live in that world.

@ Rorywan: I honestly have no other beef with you. But for some reason this one thing bugs me. It's not the first time you have come into a discussion about a picture with 'I'm an expert in photography and I can guarantee that that's photoshopped.' Maybe it's just how sure of yourself you seem to be that makes me come back with a 'sure of myself' post. True, you always say something like 'not that it matters, it looks great either way.' But if someone has specifically said it's not manipulated, that's just a sly way of calling people a liar.
Anyway, like I said, I will not bring this up again if it comes up again about another picture.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who deals with this. Though I'm betting his over-inflated ID won't allow him to see that he's the one with the problem.

Give as good as you get. Expose the conceit, condescension and self pedestaling. I went through this last week with him when he basically took credit for Skiman's exemplary photography skills after suggesting Ski buy a tripod.

This is exhausting and it's just stinking up the place.
