It gets nastier and nastier over at DPR

Tell me about it Rich. I love DPR, and I tried my best to keep things calm, to make newcomers feel welcome and not intimidated, and to mediate fights, but basically I was told "you can't control what goes on here".

Guess not. Not there now.... :?

You are so right Rich. After 10,000+ posts (I have no life) I can barely stand it over there anymore. It is such a pleasure to participate on a site where everybody gets along and egos don't clash.

 

I give up

Like most of you, I have been attempting to peruse DPR occasionally (although much less frequently these days). Mostly just to see the occasional picture posts of a handful of respected folks that aren't here just yet or to get the latest info that the larger audience may glean from time to time.

It really seems to me that things have gotten intensely absurd there in the past few weeks -- they were on a downslide already, but it really seemed to accelerate in the last couple of weeks in particular. Don't know if it's just because the nicer folks have moved over here, or if there truly is a concerted effort by some folks to spread angst in the Nikon world as the D2X is about to ship and announcements of other products are forthcoming. In either case, I have no taste for it anymore. And I don't have the time to sift through the trash looking for morsels. If anyone else sees something good or important, please let the rest of us know.
