Your opinions, ideas accepted but I will never want to have this unique person to disrub the mindset of ordinary folks that goes about doing their own thinking. Let the young minds have their path to grow into the champion direction.
I had thought deeply about this for several hours. Initially I thought I might let you get away with it. But I won't.
Your arrogant attitude and parochial mentality smacks of the ways of the Taliban.
Who the hell you think you are to decide the "mindset of the ordinary folks that goes (sic) about doing their own thinking"? Are you the shepherd who does the thinking for the sheeps who can't think? Are you the saviour who protects his foolish and brainless flock from unsavoury influences? Do you think you are God? Or more than God? You hold the "Truth"?
We are talking about photography here. And despite gentle persuasions to get you to see things from other points of view, you stuck stubbornly to your concepts - such as
"Faith in your car...."
"Faith in your planning....."
"Faith that your eyes will have the ability to focus...."
"Faith that the auto focus system of camera will not fail you..."
You are entitled to stick to your ridiculous concepts. I have a lot more acid descriptions to describe your thinking, but I will spare the readers of this forum. Simon Cowell utterings are kindergarten stuff compared to what I have to say.
Your have absolutely no moral, religious, intellectual, or photographic authority to "never want to have this unique person to disrub the mindset of the ordinary folks....". You want to stop me giving my opinions? You dare to stop me speaking my mind? You have authority over me to speak and write freely?
Take stock of who you are. You appears to have a pathologically inflated sense of self importance. Unfortunately from the way you wrote, your thinking is as deep as the miniscule puddle left over from an inconsequential drizzle. Sometimes blind faith is a very dangerous things. We see a lot of this in the news.
This is a forum about learning photography. This is a forum for people to put forward views on photography (and sometimes non-photography issues). This is not a forum for you or me to control the thinking of "ordinary folks". Whether I am unique or not is totally irrelevant. What is important is that these "ordinary folks" will get a wide spectrum of viewpoints and decide which ones are applicable to them.
You and I are not guardians of other people's thought processes. You and I are not empowered to do their thinking for them. The only thing that you and I can do for others is to contribute our thinking and experiences.
Thought control? Mindset control? Learnt that from the Marcist?
You are not an "Ordinary folk"?
Get Thee down from your high pedestal, and perhaps there is yet salvation for you.
