I've never understood why other's do. You play nice and the let you play - what's so frickin hard about that??? |
I think it got kind of bad for a while, but in recent months it's been great. Kyser opened the thread back up, so i think that shows he's trying to be more lenient. The other thread that got locked had gotten pretty ugly thanks to peterpanski. You can't blame Kyser for shutting it down.
I like both forums myself. Since the advent of this forum, I'm able to waste twice as much time!

Eddie, just like you, some threads annoy the f*ck out of me, and I'm tempted to post something like you just posted. But after further thought I realize I'm just being a whiner. You and I don't have to read threads we find irritating. No one is forcing either one of us to read this thread (which is not annoying to me by the way). And who are we to dictate to others what they can and can not post?
Just like a bad novel: If you don't like it, don't read it. Someone bitch slap me if I ever post something like Eddie just posted.

I'd say this is about the most honest post here. Ever.

Sadly, it's really true Curt. Several times a day (and I mean several) I check both forums to see what's new. Since I work for myself like you, this is time lost that I could have been making money.
Like most members do, I need to work for some one else. Then I can screw off their money instead of mine.

peterpanski... that argumentative prick.
In all the years I hung around the A-site, I've only had a couple of people that pissed me off... and he's one. If you say anything even vaguely debatable, his response is along the lines of, "HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?" or "WHAT PROOF DO YOU HAVE?" or "WTF DO YOU KNOW, DUMBASS?"
I don't know why, but I started to spend a little more time there recently. Oh, I know - it's because I have a new infant at home and I'm up all hours of the night and there just isn't enough material here to always keep me interested at 12pm, 2am, 4am, 6am... I think I'll be back to rarely visiting over there again.

Apparently Peterpanski is that LR guy back from the dead? 
He really is quite defensive isn't he? (overtly so)
You know digitals have a place, I'm stacking my new 1209 with a new 3 chip DLP for extra brightness Convergence has been a bitch. I call it the "analog digital hybrid stack" - you get the contrast of analog with the punchi-ness of digital!!

Digital Projectors are great as long as the image is not moving. Moving images that are unbeatable well thats CRT!!

HAHA, That's often an statement I use when someone asks me what the difference is between digital and CRT. Don't say a thing, keep the pause and look at their face. It's a cheap source of entertainement.
"HEY, wait a minute........"

Digitals are also great if your not concerned about skin tones and don't care about blacks being grey. On the other hand if you want skin tones that resemble human skin and you are looking for depth of field in your moving images then there really isn’t any debate, CRT wins every time.
On another note, but the same theme, I recall when valves disappeared from audio amplifiers in favour of transistors. People promoted transistors as the future for various reasons but eventually valves returned for those serious about the best sound quality and today the best audio amplifiers on the planet have valves. I suspect that projectors will end up the same way. That is digitals for the masses and CRT for the upper market.
