Narcissists never do.
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.
