What a crap!!!!

Only 72 members polled. How many members does CS have? I am not sure.
2000? 72/2000=3.6%
5000? 72/5000=1.4%
A poll based on such a miniscule number of members have any meaning? Sheesh!
Anyway, just to use your way of calculation, here is how it goes!

As of now, 74.99% (54/72) of members polled said that a keen eye is important.
Of these 27.77% (15/54) said that being friendly is important
Of these 46.29% ( 25/54) said that being very direct is important.
25.92% (14/54) of these said that a keen eye is important, without any qualification. This group constitute only 19.44% of the total number of members who polled. If I assume that CS has a member ship of 2000, then this group only constitute 07% of total membership. Or if I assume Cs has a member ship of 5000, this group only constitute 0.28% of CS membership! In any case, this goup forms less than 1/3 of those who say that a keen eye is important.
Unfortunately this poll does not ask if the "attribute" of being crude and crass like you is an important or desirable asset. I wonder what the response will be if this poll ask how essential it is to be crude and crass like you in order to be a critic? The results will be most telling!!

This poll does not clarify what it meant by a "keen eye". Do you really have a "keen eye"? I can give you that credit. Credit for having a "keen eye". But "keen eye" for what? For looking at miniscule errors and imperfections! For picking faults!
Do you have a keen eye for good photographs? For vision? For imagination? Do you? Really?
What is the real reality of CS?
Go figure out!
Tear your heart out, if you have one!
Well, Dr. Chong, assumptions, arent they convenient? I love assumptions, as long as I acknowledge them, and take into account my assumptions when I made my decisions. However, did you not slammed me numerous times for making assumptions, now, are you making assumptions yourself? Well, it does not matter, you flip flop back and forth so often, who cares.
I think I should get back on topic.
Who is qualified to be a critic? Maybe, I am, maybe, I am not. Maybe, I do have a keen eye for photography, maybe, I dont. Regardless, I know I am qualified. I based my critiques on strictly the image and the photographer, on my thoughts and feelings, and I own up critiques. They are mine. I dont need others to make up my mind, I dont need others to support my critiques. I stand by what I said. I am honest about what I said.
However, Dr. Chong, you dont qualify to be a critic. Not of photographs, nor of people. Your opinions are not yours, but those of others. Do you have any opinions of your own? Your need to quote others is pathetic. What you regurgitate I am not interested in.
Who are you exactly, Dr. Chong? Is that even your real name? Are you really the successful doctor that you portrayed? Let's assume you are.
Well, for someone as established professionally, you are damn insecure. You really dont have to, but I guess that is just a character flaw. I hope you are a much better doctor than you are a photographer. A bad picture is cause for sore eyes, but a bad diagnostic kills. However, they way you advocate learning, I am surprise you made it as a doctor.
I used to wonder, what cause this hatred you had for me. I had no idea why nor do I care. There is no reason for you to do so. But it really does not matter. You are entitled to hate me, I am entitled to react accordingly.
On the flip side, I really do not hate you Dr. Chong, you dont warrant it, not because you dont deserve it, but because you are too insignificant to do anything about. However, even a mosquito can get too irritating, that I bother to turn around to squash it.
This is not the first time we lock horns, nor the last, I assume. But it's getting to be a bore. Be more creative next time.
To the Mods and Admins. Sorry for the OT and the direct slamming. As I had told you guys, I dont start fights, but I will finish them when other forced them upon me.
