Petition: un-ban IntheShade

[TheRealAncientMarine]

SNIPPED

Also try to separate ITS from his "groupies". I thoroughly enjoyed many of ITS's posts, but I'm not going to treat him like a cult leader.

Also keep in mind that at the moment, many of the frequent contributors in the off-topic forum are those aforesaid groupies, so what are you going to do about it really? Eventually, they'll get tired of waiting, because ITS can't come back. If he comes back under an alias, then it's not really him, is it, because he won't be able to use his persona which is the very reason people enjoyed his posts.

SNIPPED

Were you ever a member of AD.com or .info?
If you were you would know that many of "us" are far from ITS-groupies and that ITS caused as much controversy there as he apparently has here. As far as I can remember he was banned there several times?
I hope this tidbit didn't ruin your day.
Do carry on.

Indeed.

And please understand that the "indeed" is 100% serious. Yeah, I'm a groupie. That's because the man is hilarious at times. And sadly, it is equally entertaining to see how disturbed some folks get over him. Not only do these folks lack understanding, but their ability to cope with the situation is equally limited.[/seriousness]

[seahawk]

Unfortunately ITS showed a huge lack of understanding himself and his ability to adjust to a new situation was equally limited. And I am serious when I say that I do find it sad that he refused to adjust just a little.

If I were to make a suggestion, since his return here is unrealistic, I would like to see ITS start a blog. I would definitely read that. He could even allow comments on his blog and respond to them in order to keep up the edge he seems to require to make his points.

.

Indeed.

I have spoken to him this morning after reading this and he said he shall take it into consideration.

He has seen me with my Ipod listening to Podcast and said that if he did this he would also want to do a podcast along with photographs.

I told him the real irony with a Blog is that the "JP.net Haters" would be his biggest customers. He thought that was funny.

That's the real problem here. The members who don't like him are drawn like magnets. If you inspect what they contribute you will see it is far worse than what ITS has to say. I think this is the real gift of ITS. He has the ability to turn a persons thoughts into a defined stream like concentrate from juice.

Look at ATFS. I think he is at the point that it's time to add water.

Eventually, they'll get tired of waiting, because ITS can't come back. .

I suspect the last post prior to this forum crashing for the last time will be one of the following:

Indeed

Let ITS back onto the forum

The last time I checked the count was 4,666. Coincidence? You decide!
Remember, these counts represent income clicks to the website.

...his ability to adjust to a new situation...

Comprehension problem!

Go back and read what Per/Ancient Mariner said.

This is anything but a new situation.

Go read PPrune. (Unfortunately you CANNOT read AD.com or AD-Info.com) Heck go read some forums that have nothing to do with avaition...

Same stuff, different day:

1) Idiots
2) Know it alls
3) Humorists
4) Fun-lovers
5) Totally serious folks
6) Wanna-be-s of all of the above.
7) Folks that vary between serious and fun
8 Folks with little tolerance for people not like themselves.
9) No doubt there are some additional categories

Anyway, ITS haters are in category 8

Are you joking ??? well maybe you haven't been around enough to realise that the people contributing to JP are... the photographers.... And about none of the ITS groupies actually contribute to JP outside the off topic forum.
So fine, this forum is now a playground for some of you, no problem with that, but don't come telling us you're contributing in any way to what's really happening on JP.
Even guys like ATFS contribute WAY more to JP than all the childish kindergarden posts you "new guys" are posting days after days, and to quote your god-master-guru.... "you need to get a life"

Excellent thoughts Alex.

Except it just isn't true except in your idealized romantic view of what goes on JP.net

For instance take a look here: http://forums.jetphotos.net/showthre...=23925&page=52

Be sure and read it through a few pages and then come back an explain exactly what is going on.

It's nothing but a lovefest.

So plane spotters have "a life"? Seriously? This site, Jetphotos.net is normally inhibited by people who has got a life?
Lordy, Lord, that ruined my sleep. I think I will have to remove myself from the executive floor all the way down to the street level for a cigarette to stop my convulsions. Thanks for a good laugh!

Oh, we HAVE a life.

Irritating ITS haters and airplane photographers who have limited senses of humor is just one particular hobby, that takes very little effort or time...

The point Alex makes here is a point I've been waiting to make for a while. I remember being patronisingly told by ITS that my post count in the forums here was low therefore my opinion basically counted for nothing; by comparison to some others it is a low post count, but I had over 2000 images in the database at that point which is a substantial contribution to the site and far more than he will ever contribute, in any way.

I stand by my previous points that, regardless of how much knowledge ITS may or may not have, he was nothing more than a rather pathetic internet forum troll whose sole purpose was to provoke reactions and start flame wars, and he went out of his way to do this. Look at any thread he's posted in and that's blindlngly obvious. And again, why would anyone in his supposed position of supposed greatness feel the need to act so childishly on a forum? His behaviour was very much not what I'd expect from someone often referred to as a 'genius'.

The quicker people accept he isn't coming back and get over this whole sorry state of affairs the better!
