I would suggest you don't talk crap about something you obviously know nothing about - i.e. my books.








Buy the books and read my captions. Until then, DON'T make any kind of judgement call about the content and captions in my works. We can do without idiots like you making such comments...

Where did I say exactly that I referred to your books? I do suggest that you refrain from commenting on a comment you obviously don't understand. I surely can do without an idiot like you making such comments.

This is what you said: “…Perhaps authors/publishers should consider having similar substantial captions as standard...”

I replied: “…I smiled…”

You then replied: “…Which implies you prefer captions with few words like "An aircraft over England."...

So you are clearly stating, in response to my comment ‘I smiled’, since you quoted it, that the implication is that I prefer captions with few words like “An aircraft over England.” Which is utter rubbish, and you are not qualified to make such an implication.

Now, when I came back at you showing with two examples that what you implied was clearly 100% incorrect, and called you out on it for what you are, you didn’t like it. Well, the fact is, you DID talk crap. And you DID make a judgement call on me. And you ARE an idiot for posting such unsubstantiated rubbish about me.

And I did understand your comment. Perfectly. If you are going to post throwaway comments on a public forum about authors, you should expect them to come back at you and show you up for being wrong when you are. And if you haven't got the spine, or the thick skin, to take those comments, then don't put your incorrect comments up in the first place, and then you won't get butthurt.

OK, cool the insults or I will lock this thread. Can you not have a decent discussion without the insults?

I agree, John.

But if a guy lays allegations, then I feel I have to defend against unjust allegations. And I posted up proof in my defence.

You know me, John - I'm a straight shooter. You should have addressed this via PM to the other guy. It's people like him who drive researchers like myself and Chris Goss (and others I could name), who've done research way back into the pre-internet days, to consider not bothering to provide any further information from the fruits and expense of our many decades of research, given the attitude we see.
