[QUOTE="Deckyon, post: 1253036, member: 197651"] I used to frequent a lot of different photo forums over the last few years. In my personal experience, it got to where "if you don't scratch my back, I wont scratch yours" and the actual value of the discussions was through the toilet. Most came down to fights over gear differences or ego-stroking over photos. It got to the point that if any technical critique was offered, the person giving the critique was blasted. I have since stopped going to them. I dont need my ego stroked and when I post a photo I will either say "Please give Technical Critique" or "For Viewing Only." And that is ONLY on the forums for my local photo club. Art is too subjective and there is too much emotion (in general) to get any REAL discussion on the internet. [/QUOTE]
