Without Prejudice 3

[Rob C]

That isn't the broken clock that is right once a day, so it must be right all the time!
(or at least it's never wrong.)

My broken clocks are better than your broken clocks: they are right twice a day.

But why would anyone want to get up at 2:30 AM?

That clock would look great under this lamp. Light is what it needs.

John, I'd comment, but this is Without Prejudice.

Go ahead. It is part of my experimentation with the "Bold bw filter." In normal bw mode it would be far less contrasty.

John, I was referring to your contention that the clock would look great under the lamp, which would mean I would have to second guess your image.

I neither second guess - critique - other's images or for that matter seek second guessing - critique - on my own.

No kidding, Keith? Then why are you posting in a sequence titled "User Critiques?"

Thank you, Keith, for helping keep this tiny area sacrosanct.

Well, maybe the critiques are without prejudice but they're still critiques. (Not sure how you can critique without prejudice, but politicians claim all the time to do exactly that, even when they're damning their opponents to hell.)

As I said, I don't seek or offer critique.

And that is EXACTLY the purpose of having this little slot called Without Prejudice; it is intended for people who do not wish to receive critique of any kind.

All other slots, where readers can post pictures, do not have this restriction; people happy with, or needy of public reevaluation of their work are free to post there for such reaction.

I rather keep this single slot free from such unwanted input.

May I ask why do you publish at all?
It sounds as if you don't care if others like your pictures.
I myself DO like them (albeit not everyone) don't get me wrong.
Are then comments/applause irrelevant?

Read my post above. We speak of WP only.

Well I asked some time ago what the title means (you know, my poor English). And I didn't get the impression that comments were unwanted.
I'll be more careful in the future

There's another point to be made: liking or not liking anyone's pictures is in no way the same thing as offering critique, which is about making suggestions on how otherwise the author might or should have made that picture. That is what WP is designed to avoid.

The problem might be that this is edition three of WP, and the original statement concerning its creation and purpose was made long ago at the very start of edition one. Unless anyone searches back through the generations, it's not surprising that the original premise is somewhat clouded in the mists of time.

Your English is perfectly good enough for the purposes of playing a real rôle here; don't give it a thought.

I post my images here - I admit on occasion to the wrong thread, which is a failing on my part - simply to show what it is I'm doing. I also view other contributor's images to see what it is they are doing. It's that simple.

Please, don't let's sully Rob's well intentioned thread.
