Here is my last farewell post at the PentaxForums. In fact, I expect that would possibly be deleted very shortly. But up till now it was just closed by that Marc Langille whom is just a Radical Hypocrite and Lier but nothing else. (The details will be told below.)
I take the opportunity here to thank for all the buddies who have replied and aired out for me for the unfair treatment and persecution that I have been receiving for long. Since possibly that thread might be deleted in the end at the PentaxForums (as those Mods have done that for many times before in a very rude way for all those 100% Pentax gear related threads and posts before), I copy and paste the replies here and my special thanks to *all* folks below, who have expressed their kindness to me as well as support and encouragement:-

Hi,
I agree with ricehigh and his supporters wholeheartedly. I only lurk nowadays and don't join in with the 'forum' as the 'forum' seems to be a vehicle for a few individuals who take themselves far too seriously and make a mockery of the whole idea of a forum, which is a place to discuss upon shared values and interests.
I have noticed increased antipathy towards anyone who says anything good about other brands, any constructive criticism against Pentax...Oh the list goes on!....What the forum does well is really good...The invaluable lens reviews, camera reviews , market place etc ..What good work from such few people, but this rabid fanboyism, FF carping and self importance of a few moribund and self important 'moderators' drives me mad...Which is why i generally don't join in anymore.
If people want to shoot me down, save your breath and your fingertips, I won't get dragged into anything, it's beneath my and any semi sane and literate persons' consideration.
Stop flaming people, stop being up your own a***s and go and take some photographs, instead of worrying about what great photographs you might be able to take if only you had blah blah waffle blah waffle.....

Now, the thread has yet been closed again, but that hypocrite and radicalist Marc Langille is still lying in his last reply before his closed the thread. I have some responses here to unveil his mask and his lies:-
Quoted, "Most of you know I rarely weigh in or wade in, so here goes... in the interest of disclosure..."
No problem, I shall disclose more as your "disclosure" contain all lies!
I'm currently on a cruise in Greenland, with a photo group, enjoying the beautiful scenery and getting some goereous iceberg photos.
The only internet here is the ship's sattelite link, which is slow, and is pretty much only allowing me to send PMs- hence, I can't check the thread.
However, I understand that Buddha and Joele know that unless posts have content associated with a link, they shouldn't be allowed. Now that's only a rule of thumb- I wish I could check out your thread and tell you what I think, but I can't at this time. PM me again on or after August 10th, when I'm back home, and I'll check up on the issue. Thanks, and sorry for the trouble! __________________
Adam - Site Webmaster"
Everyone can note the comment of "Rule of Thumb" in his reply.
The above Pentax History thread contains various interesting supplement information by others indeed about the name of Pentax and its history. Other forum members added other things like the origin of SMC and how the Asahi Optical Co. bought the patent as well. It *should* have been a nice summary and fruitful discussion in return and I did intend to point the thread back by updating my blog article as a nice roundup and supplement. But that Marc Offenser just so rude to delete the thread one-off. This is actually very irrespectful to all the posters and totally arrogant. Really very very bad!
So, he needed and had to delete the thread because of one thing? That is, it is a thread that started by me?? What wrong with my that opening post and the thread and all the discussions in it??? I am totally pissed off!!
As for the Unboxing thread, you closed and locked the thread almost at the same time you sent me your PM, what's the big deal and your intention to "communciate" as such??
For all man's reference, here is the "moderation summary" on my posts and threads as captured in my PentaxForums profile:-
2. "My PM to Michael/RH clearly requested that he copy and paste the contents of the link into the message body, nothing more."
So what? Your request is not reasonable and there is NO Justice NOR FAIRNESS of any kind, as you hypocrites always do. You can make any request as you like and whether I should follow is my rights!
3. "It's never been an issue with the information - it's the format presented. Again, this has been discussed before (not just once) with Michael, but multiple times."
What "multiple times"? Has Adam replied back ever since my last "interim reply" received from him. He said, "that's only a rule of thumb"! You Lier and geniue Hyocrite, our Holy Marc!
There is another chain of conversation between mine and Adam, in which both our stances are clearly contained. Whilst I ask for fairness, openness and transparency, Adam actually still insists on my self-censorship of the "negative commentary" which he did indeed "feel annoyed himself"!
I've now un-deleted your post as there was no technical justification for deletion.
However, personally, I'd like to ask you to cut out the negative commentary in the future. You're doing it all the time, and it's starting to annoy myself as well as many of the forum members. I hope you understand!
And, the further conversation on the same incident:-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
People do, all will be seen by God and other people will judge! I have no secret of any to be kept in all these cases which really show again and again much about the evils of the human nature afterall!
In the end, those PentaxForums many of those "Moderators" are just "Attackers" afterall, they dared not to let threads all about Pentax and gear went on, no matter the threads are positive, neutral or what so-called "negative". As long as those threads were and are opened by me and I posted there with some of my links (or even not, e.g., for Peter Zack's previous deletion of my post (See Above: I only say about K20D AF is not as fast as Nikon for the SDM, then he deleted my post! What?), they have to "eliminate" me with immediate action!
When they dared to do the evils (in this case persecutions with iron hands), why tried to pretend to be looking good in front of people? There is only one word to describe such people, it is, Hypocrites!
I have been trying to discuss peacefully and respectfully with Adam (and so did he in his replies - civil, polite and respectful). But however, his allowance and total permission to let his Mods (or customers anyway) to penalise and step on me and his stance to persecute me is very clear. My tolerance does have limit and I would rather go myself! But of course, I should let the world know how bad they are. Next time when you want to do a "donation" to "support" people like those, please re-consider and think twice! Or, in the other way, if you want to have the superior power over these places, you can try to "support" and donate more!!
As for the Pentax community, the saddest thing is that there is NOT any single English Pentax forum that is not running non-commercially or not money related, in addition that there are already rare on the net, the declincing DPR one and the rising PentaxForums are the only two with larger member base and more frequent visits.
I know that people need to earn a living or "to recover the server and admin/time costs". But the outcome and hard facts are just Money and Interests Do Cause Evils. Or, it should be: People Do Evils When Money and Interests are Taken into Accounts! When those stupid blind brand loyalty and fanboyism are added, the situation becomes very worst, which is actually indifferent from the Hell!
As for me, actually anyone who has followed My Blog long enough can see, I have NEVER deleted even one comment made by anyone at this blog (except those general internet spamming Ads by automatic robots) - even for those with severe personal attacks (but I know that they are *Pentax* fanboys). When I could do things so openly and with an open-mindness and free of speech in mind all the time, why all those super conscious forum owners could not?
At the end of the days, ONLY one word can give answer to my this question: Money (and all those different kinds of personal interests involved), which is the only difference!
I agree with ricehigh and his supporters wholeheartedly.

If it is, I will follow your will - just because the Forums is set up and hosted by you. If not, why only me cannot link to my pages?
If some pages must not be linked at the PentaxForums, the simple thing is to set up a blocked URL list, like what DPR has been doing, I'm afraid. (Of course, I am not "teaching" you how to run your own forum, but it looks simple and straight forward to me for the case if such an intention really exists - but it looks no good of course if the bad things of DPR are carried forward here)

For that thread and deleted post, I replied exactly point by point for what the OP asked, e.g., Pentax's AF is not fast especially when the OP owned a D300 b4 and K-m's AF is proven to be faster than the K20D (with evidence), what's wrong with that? Why delete my post with an iron hand?
With someone like Peter Zack who can "moderate" the PentaxForum in this way, I am afraid that the PentaxForums will just be yet another "Pentax Praising" forum with white horrors which is indifferent from the DPR's!

I've now un-deleted your post as there was no technical justification for deletion.
However, personally, I'd like to ask you to cut out the negative commentary in the future. You're doing it all the time, and it's starting to annoy myself as well as many of the forum members. I hope you understand!
And, the further conversation on the same incident:-

On the other hand, I hope that your moderators should give more fairness to me in the future and they should not penalise me in any way, especially considering that they are the "moderators" whom is supposed to do their moderation jobs in a fair and open/transparent way.Originally Posted by AdamHi Michael,
Frankly, I'm not going to go through your entire argument as it misses the point of what I'm asking. I'm also not filtering your replies- if I were doing that, I'd have decided to leave your posts in a deleted state, and probably also ban you from the site- but I did not, and will not, do that.
All I'm asking is to consider changing the nature of the things you post here. A majority of forum users views your posts as generally negative; in the long run such posts are not helpful and typically unwanted.
Therefore, while it's fine you post something controvresial that not everyone is in agreement with, just don't do it all the time. And if you do post things like that, make sure they have a positive or helpful purpose!
I have a slim doubt that the negitivity in your posts is an illusion, and that they "just don't come out right" when read by others. If this is the case, think about why people are reacting that way, and try to adapt to it.
Thanks.Originally Posted by RiceHighOriginally Posted by AdamAdam, thanks for your "undeletion" and your kind reply.Hi Rice,
I've now un-deleted your post as there was no technical justification for deletion.
However, personally, I'd like to ask you to cut out the negative commentary in the future. You're doing it all the time, and it's starting to annoy myself as well as many of the forum members. I hope you understand!
However, I think I have to let you know my disagreement on your stance about my "negative commentary".
I just don't understand why in an *open* forum, you would get annoyed for any speech which does not actually violate any forum rules for *open* and *free* discussions. Especially, considering that I just *answered* questions asked by others. Since they asked, I answered to their questions 100% on-topic, what is that "negative" thing that "I am doing it all the time"? Should you actually say you're got annoyed because of those members' opening questions?
In this case, do note that it was the OP who asked, "I do some photography of sports, mostly snow skiing and want input as to just how slow the AF is compared to other cameras." I just give my inputs to him as per his request. The hard fact is the D300 he owned was way faster than the K20D which he is asking about, especially for the AF speed difference.
If i need to be inhonest when I reply (or I am forced to do so), I think it is totally meaningless for me to participate here anymore. Afterall, I provide the OP answers with *facts* and let him decide. (whether you or others are annoyed because of my "negativity" would be another issue, which simply is not my concern here - I just only want to help the OP).
Furthermore, I would like to let you know how others on the net are now thinking about the PentaxForums just because if it is too biased than good, here is an recent comment given by a reader of mine at my blog:-
http://ricehigh.blogspot.com/2009/01...67727669747146
In fact, I have *never* given any negative comment about the PentaxForums but only positive ones at my blog so far (and I do link to the useful posts at the PentaxForums too sometimes). So, if my readers think like that, I think it is just something you, as the site owner of the PentaxForums, should think deeply and more about it, frankly.
I do appreciate your efforts in building and improving the PentaxForums from time to time. However, I would say your stance and intention to filter the speech in your forum do no good to your place instead. Adam, I do regard you as a friend of mine, otherwise I won't talk that so much to you.
Okay, hope you really think about the problems and potential impacts. Again, I hope you don't mind about my "negativity" in my this reply. See you.
Best Regards,
Michael

ReplyDeleteI am not writing a blog restricted to the stuff you like. If you like, stay, if you feel disgusted, just leave - just like what I do at the PentaxForums, although their provided services are indeed not free, in contrast, as they have been begging for money.
Any Pentax news?
ReplyDeleteSeems you have more time on your hands then you admit to..... :)
ReplyDeleteHonestly you do post a link to this blog too much. I shouldn't even have come to this site if you were not self promoting.
ReplyDeleteIf you never wanted to self promote you can easily just copy and paste the content without any special mentioning of your blog to prove them wrong.
However, I enjoyed your news on the k-7, many thanks on that.
Finally, what I see is the problem is that you're too picky and complain too much. Imagine if your wife or someone keeps on complaining. You'll probably feel repulsive regarding the above statement, but maybe try to be a bit more easygoing.
Do you actually take pictures, or do you just talk about taking pictures? Where can we see pictures that you've taken? There is a saying that when you point fingers at someone else, there are three pointing back at you. I find it very amusing that you accuse people of being unkind, then you resort to name calling yourself. You are only showing your true self when you respond in such a fashion.
ReplyDeleteI just tell the truth.
ReplyDeleteAnd, some of my photos can be found in the "My Photos" Label section of this Blog.
Hello Rice,
ReplyDeleteMy here gov take to block the blogger, also I has cut down some interest as Pentax.
I just today read it. I can understand your descriptive situation.
Some gunmen can get the gain. However, that is not only a PentaxForums, like DPR's Pentax forum also are these gunmen. Also, over there would have several fool fanboys to kicks up a row.
Some gunmen take to swear black as white. Anyone, which you cannot reflect the "negative".
Who is victim? Consumer! Especially several fool fanboys.
Rice, you should be no longer devoting one's mind to Pentax! I want to hear your review on Nikon or Canon, as the multiformity! Take the more contrast in between several manufacturers.
Regard
PeterZheng

Ricehigh, as you know, I have always supported you in the past... but is this really necessary? I truly believe that the moderators at Pentaxforum.com have been fair. I for one, welcome your posts. It is true, that there are a number of members that would rather see you disappear and have begged Adam to delete you. But please, let's give Adam and the other moderators credit for not giving into the majority mob!
ReplyDeleteTry to act a bit more positive... remember...that some of the members are like little children with their favourite toy..
Seriously, this blog entry also makes you look bad as well.

ReplyDeleteI don't mind to pose a bad image for some people for their own perceptions as long as what I have told are true.
My intention of this post is to let people be aware of what are happening at those "open" forums on the net as they seem/pretend to be.
I have no desire to enter into this vitriolic slanging match, but it does not help your cause when your post is spattered with schoolboy-level spelling errors like 'lier' (liar) 'fairwell' (farewell) etc. It just makes the whole post look petulant?
ReplyDeleteAnd what in God's name is 'measurbation' Did you mean measurements or???
