Re: Wedgwood: was image may rewrite (fwd)
Judy,
LOL I love a good gossip--thanks for sharing :)
However, I have now made it a definite decision NEVER to join the photo
history list. And we think THIS list can be rough at times, whew!!

MW's attack following our Muybridge experiment not only went well beyond
the non-flame ethos of this list, where we have, with rare exceptions, a
commendable level of debate. It displayed a reprehensible level of
ignorance across the board. His e mail at 13:26:55 0f 31/3/08 where the
attempts the circumvent our non flame-policy by referring to his abusive
contribution to the altphoto list, which is notorious for flame wars and
the 'Law West of the Pecos' nature of its administration, is underhand.
The level of argument he propounds there, which can be easily challenged,
but not here, is typical of that list and of a standard which has led many
to spend their time more constructively. As I have said earlier, these
attacks started when I pointed out to him, in private, that prints made
according to his platinum process were going brown after a number of
years. MW made no atempts to seek an explanation or issue advice to those
who were using his process, he just resorted to these attacks. I and
others
have tried to discuss these matters with MW rationally but to no avail.
The difficulty I have is that his specious arguments, misrepresentations
and
lack of understanding when repeated often enough, and cloaked in
obfuscations
intended to pull the wool over the eyes of the less well informed, have
a
damaging effect. Perhaps this is MW's intention.
