Very nice Ernest. I like the paintlike effect and the snow adds a nice touch. Will you be at the Farmer's market this month?


Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Fri, 12/07/12 06:39

I like the vivid colors of the apples which balances well with the white snow. Those apples really "pop" in the picture.

All I want is the right to be left alone.

To post a few pix and to help someone occasionally.

All he wants is the right to do anything he he wants TO anyone he wants whenever HE
wants.

HE started this.

WE did not.

HE started it last time.

And the time before that.

And not only with me.

And you know it.

I was being helpful to a newcomer the last time he struck.

Now that newbie is driven from the list and the help he asked for.

Even if Ernest's hatred of me were justified it is not right to involve an innocent.

This shows a complete lack of respect for a total stranger and for the list.

The history is quite clear.

I have been stalked by several lunatics since I have been here and you know it.

I fight back, but I hate this.

He loves the fights as did smegma.

And axhole until SOMEBODY posted a perfect "self portrait" or TWO ...

You wouldn't know anything about that, would you ? ;-)

But Ernest has done far more damage to this site than smegma ever could.

He has driven out more people than anyone else ever has.

And he does it deliberately and with forethought and malice.

Even if he were as great as he says he thinks he is,
does this give him the right to be the turd in the community punch bowl ?

Adolf Hitler was a fair artist,
but that didn't justify HIS behavior.

I held my tongue, and took quite a few for the team,
but the paste is out of the tube now.

I will no longer allow him to bully this entire list without at least a fight.

He has defined me unfairly for the very last time without a VIGOROUS response.

Ernest Cadegan will NEVER post on this site again without reference to his self-centered
mean
spirited behavior until I can post here in peace.

Oh my, shouting now.

I haven't reviewed for spelling, or for content. Assume you are just
repeating yourself.

You forgot to mention "Best on Black." It would suit your mood.

Please feed the troll. It seems to bring the best out in him.

Why would anyone support Ernest Cadegan's mean spirited, selfish, self-centered hateful
behavior ?
Comments by Ernest Cadegan on Wed, 12/05/12 10:05
You're the only one looking for support. People here can do as they wish
. I don't need support. That seems to be your domain.

BTW, I keep telling you I don't hate you. Hate seems to be your
department these days. I keep watching as it sucks you dry. I do,
however, strongly dislike you. Too bad for you it means so much.

Why would anyone tolerate Ernest Cadegan's mean spirited, selfish, self-centered hateful
behavior ?

My measure of a good image is how much time I'm willing to spend with it. I'm lingering
over this for quite a while!


Comments by G.B. SHETTLER on Fri, 12/07/12 16:05

LOvely Image !! Donald..I am sorry but I am getting sick of this. Ernest, please back off from him and never make a comment about him, just leave him be. and I don't need any responses back on this. Just do it. Please & Thanks


Comments by Alias on Fri, 12/07/12 16:37

Greg, I have been sick and tired of this for years.

All I have ever asked is to be left alone.
Sorry if it bothers you but i can't make Ernest leave me alone therefore he will never post
another image without wearing his behavior on every one.

Delightfully different and ditto Michael Cohen's comment. The colors and elements and light and composition are just great.

Rah Rah. Sis cum bah. Fight Fight Fight!

I see I'm up to bullying the entire list now. I really am strong. Or,
more likely, that's quite a fantasy world you are living in.

Don't forget to hit the paste button now.
Comments by Ernest Cadegan on Sun, 12/16/12 07:42
Come on now. It's been more than five minutes. Hit that paste button.
You're fighting for the team, right. Fight fight fight.

Paste now. Show me you really mean it.
Comments by Alias on Sun, 12/16/12 07:45
The letter above was written by me to Karen Habbestad as she was leaving this list forever
because of the constant bitterness caused by Ernest Cadegan.

I tried to talk her into staying ... but ...

She said it was "just no fun anymore".

Ernest gets to stalk his imagined "enemies" relentlessly and this list is poorer for the loss of
those who want this list to be about photography and knowledge.

Years have passed and many of the lists best are gone due to the hostile atmosphere.

And it is still "all about Ernest Cadegan all the time."

How do you spell toxic narcissism ...
Comments by Alias on Sun, 12/16/12 07:46
What a waste of good time and the opportunity to be:
"critical, constructive, and friendly."
Comments by Ernest Cadegan on Sun, 12/16/12 07:47
Nice change of pace.

Fight fight fight. More fantasy.

Finally a little spark of truth. "What a waste of time." True for you
for sure. Personally I find it a very good investment.

Waste some more. Every time you open one of my threads. Even time you
have to think of a response. The time it takes to write it. To read my
response. To re-paste. To hit the paste button. And don't forget the
time it take to brood.

Tic Tock. Tic Tock.

A Possible, Constructive, Conversation:

MacMillan: I think the right to be left alone is one of the most important human rights.
Libertarian: Great! Do you support politicians who vote appropriations for the IRS?
MacMillan: Well, sure.
Libertarian: What if I would like to be left alone?
MacMillan: You have to pay your fair share.
Libertarian: Who gets to say what is fair?
MacMillan: The politicians who get the votes in a democracy.
Libertarian: We live in a republic. The majority is not supposed to infringe upon the
individual. The law of the land is the Constitution in which it says that I as an individual am
given protection from arbitrary discrimination by government officials. Nothing is said
about “fair.” If there is anything in the world that is arbitrary it is the tax code.
MacMillan: The politicians voted in the 16th Amendment by a 2/3 majority in both Houses
of Congress.
Libertarian: That was in 1913, none of those politicians are alive, I did not vote for any of
them, yet I am expected to pay taxes that infringe upon my right to be left alone. In
addition, these taxes go to State programs like war and State institutions like the FDA that I
in no way support, so I am even further marginalized as to the rights I have over my
property and labor.
MacMillan: We live in a lawful society and you are expected to obey the laws.
Libertarian: If these laws are compulsory, and they are, how could that not affect my
natural right to be left alone? The government says to the citizen: "Your earnings are not
exclusively your own; we have a claim on them, and our claim precedes yours; we will allow
you to keep some of it, because we recognize your need, not your right; but whatever we
grant you for yourself is for us to decide." In other words my property and my labor are not
my own. The State makes claims against them and I no longer have an inalienable right to
them. And these claims are backed up with guns and prisons. If you think the right to be
left alone is one of the most important human rights, why do you support politicians who
make the State superior to the individual?

Quote from Alias on a newbie thread: "Name's actually Donald MacMillan
(long story ;-)
But Alias is just fine."

Notice Mr. Anonymous didn't say but you can call me Donald. Yep being
yourself is way too complicated. Much easier to hide behind Alias.
