You know the last few weeks I had decided to start contributing again and have done oh, I guess somewhere close to 1000 titles. In that period I have had to deal with idiots who like to make up their own Rules about almost anything, being verbally insulted and attacked by the same old cadre of users and ken allows then to get away with it. So while I am nowhere near done, I am DONE, I'll go back to not Contributing, it's simply not worth the crap and garbage i have to stomach.

This same cadre of users loves to talk about how I insult them but refuse to see how they insult and offend others, specifically me. Well, I am not going to behave based on some strange standard that si designed by the likes of some of you. I try to accept each user on his/ner own, I vene had a user recently get upset recently, very upset about an image that I submitted, to the point that the user made a comment that caused me to be curious, so I looked and the image that was tweaked belonged to the user who was complaining, now I don't want to say that the users ego got tweaked aswell...but the user did a bad job on the original scans and they could be improved pretty well. I just have to shrug my shoulders.

But it ceratinly is not worthit listening to the carping of users who DON'T contribute, or luistening to the alleged criticism of images from users who have never Contributed a single image, or in the case of one user in particular the only images he ever Contributed were not done by him and were simply imported in the mass move , he has NEVER scanned a single Cover or doner any editing and I ams supposed to,listen to an amateur that doesn't contribute, or to others who Contribute so little.

Fine, I am sorry Ken I have tried and there are still hundreds of titles in my database which are not part of the online, but I am simply not going to tolerate this crap. I try to help and for my trouble i am beaten and abused and you allow it. No, not any more. I am glad that i had not gotten very far into my E's makes for convenient stopping point...but I am finished again. I simply will not tolerate the goss behavior that i see or th....ummmm....no I won't go any farther.

To those that this thread is aimed at ajnd you know who you are i am sure, you win FO

No, I am done Contributing. So you had better for once start picking up some slack and instead of sitting back and sniping, try and become a productive member of the Community...for a change. Learn comperhension, rick a skill you definitely lack. All current Comntributions are being withdrawn


Let me add that in the last several weeks I ahve discovered exactly what kind of a mess that the Online is in, some of thus due to users not documenting their work, some of it is users making global changes and wreaking havoc on the database in the process. James and rick are the two largest problems, they pay no attention to the rules and create their own, then snipe. Rick, before you say another word i suggest that you keep in mind that i have seen some of the evil and cruel behaiviors that you are capable of, so leave it alone.

I could go into some extraordinary detail on a lot of different subjects but this Community has been totally poisoned by the accepted BAD behaviors of a FEW.

Skip, you and I have disagreed on occasion about scans. I think you prefer them redder, with a higher contrast than I do, and once in a while, yours are too sharpened. But every time I point this out to you, whether in a PM or just as part of a "no" vote, you take what I am concerned about and often fix the differences... improving scans just as it should be. You are more careful about avoiding entering typing errors on your contributions than you are in your posts (you also have more typos when you are upset, and I assume you don't contribute while you are upset), but again, if anyone spots a typing error, you fix it quickly. I must agree that you want the best database we can have, and our goals are identical in this regard. It's too bad the people with whom you disagree most are driving you away from your contributions -- I was enjoying the profiles we have in common getting better... first the As, next the Bs, now the Cs. I guess I'll never see you clean up the Disney Movie Club Zorro two seasons...

I hope you decide to try again, soon. (Start from the other end of the alphabet, maybe?)

  I have no idea why you think this is in any way appropriate behavior... just don't contribute and be done with it... and since you are not contributing... you can stay out of conversations about contributions and rules as well. Create your personal database how you like, and leave the rest of us alone. All you are doing here is creating another unneeded thread to spark controversy and anger on the boards. It is a disturbance to say the least... I come here less and less because of the constant negativity... and you are always involved... it is quite a sad state of affairs.

Ken:

Your attack is not appreciated. I wish that some of the users That I have talked about that don't Contribuute or very litttle would also stay out of conversations or stop starting controversial threads as well. Or as YOU yourself noted in another thread, thread which have a clear target, I believe you suggested that we all knew who was being referred to.

I am angry at a lot of people, including Ken because he sanctions some of this outrageous behavior, and i have a right to express my displeasure, and i will thank you to not try and say that I don't.

It is also a shame to see the agenda thatsome users very clearly have as is demonstrated when they start inventing Rules upon which to base a vote on, Rules that have nothing to with the REAL Rules, but do clearly demonstarte a personal agenda. Yes, james that is YOU.

Skip,
I can see you don't want to take abuse for any changes you make, but why not reconsider at least in respect of the previously uncontributed titles as there can be no abuse with them.

Is this some sort of new trend that everyone who got some "No" votes have to start a thread where they can bitch and whine how done they are what comes to contributing? If you are done, well then just stop contributing, that's all. I cannot see any point for this thread (and all ather similar ones).
