Here's Jan Faul's modus
operandi, as if by now it needs to be laid out.
First he spews forth a barrage of
dismissive,
contemptuous, and insulting comments on
an image in the gallery, or a comment from another
list-member, who invariably
in Art Faul's view is "clueless."
Then he cites how long he has been a
photographer, a photographer vastly
superior to anyone on the list past, present or
future, and hints, just hints,
he might well be superior to, say, Ansel Adams, who
back in the day promised
him a box of paper, but never delivered.
Well, in passing, one should note that
Ansel Adams's word
count in his Wikipedia entry is 8,000.
Jan Faul's is 1,000. And if
you're wondering, Randy Little has zero.
Zip.
Anyway, having delivered his cutting
insults and disparagements,
Art Faul moves on to the next object of his derision
and contempt. Meanwhile, the
list-member Art Faul attacked
earlier finally gets around to sending in an
objection, a complaint, a
response.
Ah, this is precisely what Art Faul
was hoping for.
Ignoring HIS OWN incivility and
contempt in the first place,
he condemns the listmember for his complaint.
Look! Look, everybody! See
how abrasive that person is who is
criticizing me? Doesn't that person
realize what I know so far exceeds what HE knows that
it's laughable? Doesn't he realize that
I've been taking
tens of thousands of images before he was even born?
Art
Faul likely will NEVER acknowledge the
legitimacy of the complaints repeatedly directed at him
here, going back at
least ten years. But it seems to me
that we ought not just tolerate his incessant incivility
in silence. When he crosses the line, we
ought to SAY
so.
