Dave, I am not hating you, I am just a bit sorry to see your snappy, sarcastic and overall not-so-gentlemanly comment. Pity.
No I wasn't being "snappy", "sarcastic" or trying to give you an "overall not-so-gentlemanly comment", so the pity is on you Vieri for even thinking that I would be like that with you, or with anyone else on this forum for that matter.

So I am sorry to discover that your ego appears to be so fragile, that you find any comment that does not heap praise on your work to be "snappy", "sarcastic" or an "overall not-so-gentlemanly comment".

If you want to post images on here Vieri for other landscape photographers to look at and discuss and who are just as enthused about photography and the art of photography as you are, then expect comments that are given back to you through that enthusiastic viewpoint.
I mean you can't have it both ways Vieri, if you post pictures here then the forum members will comment and usually those comments for your work are really good, as are your images usually, but if you post something that people think has issues including me and the other forum members that have taken the time to comment on this picture (albeit negatively and not all of them I agree), then surely you must expect your fellow photographers to say so, or are you unable to accept criticism?
So I will repeat, I was not being "snappy", "sarcastic" or trying to give you an "overall not-so-gentlemanly comment" by telling you that the blurry sky in your Zabriske Point shot is so difficult for me to look at, it makes me feel seasick. So please tell me how I should have phrased that genuine reaction to your shot in any words that you would not find "snappy", "sarcastic" or trying to give you an "overall not-so-gentlemanly comment"?
In fact I even congratulated you on creating such a unique image that had such a dramatic effect on me. although a negative one and a reaction that I have never had before to an image.
Or is it because I referred to you as "Mate" or something that has upset you? Which I used in the context as defined by the Oxford dictionary which means:
A fellow member or joint occupant of a specified thing. Go and look it up yourself if you don't believe me...
If you could see me now Vieri, I am still rolling up my eyes at your over the top reaction "Mate".
Dave
