Nah. I was surprised to get a response but it is not right to post that here.
At the time I thought it appropriate to alert the guy. Now I am not saying I agree or disagree with what he writes, but there is a difference between disagreeing with someone and being verbally offensive. What he was being called was appalling. I just thought the guy should know about what he was being called so sent the link to these comments.
Mind you, I do find the comments here about him being dangerous quite amusing, but i really appreciate the safety warning. I am pleased to be alerted to this danger so that I may avoid serious injury or worse!
I'm quite interested in this from a sociological point of view- do you email famous people often when you see insults about them? I can think of the comments on the BBC website directed towards politicians or from football fans forums directed towards fooballers. I've also seen a fair amount of hatred towards Obama but haven't felt obliged to email him to point it out- does that make me a bad person or is it good enough that I am opposed to what's been written?
A lot of the time these people will be shielded from these comments by their teams/ friends so it seems specifically highlighting things goes against the grain? Clearly if someone called a person out for being say a rapist or something equally morally repugnant then action may be needed but a collection of swear words is really all it is- yes/no?
You pick a preset and fine tune to your liking, tis a once only done thing so takes no time to set upI assume that many JPEG shooters would want to set the camera up for their own taste.
You don't set your own preferences and just use the default settings?

No wrong. There are far too many keyboards warriors who are very brave when they can post comments anonymously. They would not be anywhere near so brave if they had to say it to someone's face. Cyberbullying is rife on the social media websites. No-one can ever condone such behaviour.

There is a right answer to RAW or JPG. You use the format that best suits the circumstances (and have the knowledge to make the decision)
I've never said anything online that I wouldn't say to the person involved in the thread/conversation face to face, either in this thread, or anywhere.There is TP meet in May, wonder how many will be going along to exchange opinions face to face
Cheers.

No. JPEG defined the compression algorithm, not the way the camera processes the image before doing the compression.I don't think it's a "technician at Canon or Nikon" that decides how JPEGs are processed, I would think that it was a Group of Joint Photographic Experts who laid down the standard and generally they've done a pretty good job!

There is right and wrong. It was correct that I advise another person about the hate that I had read about him. Simple. Whether or not I would do this often is an irrelevance. There is nothing deep and meaningful from a sociological point of view here. What I was reading on the forum had stepped outside of what I think are normal values. What I read was not even an insult. I would describe what I read a month or so back as hatred. So I elected to share this with the person the venom was directed at. Simple really. Easy to post hate on the internet and attack another human being anonymously. But it is right to stand up to this internet bullying and hatred. The more folk do a little something about it, it may make some individuals think twice before they type out the hatred on their keyboard.
I stand behind everything I have said. This is not just a Jpeg v RAW thing, it is all the things that KR has written that in my opinion would steer an uninformed/inexperienced photographer to take pictures, and set their equipment up which could give them less than the best picture they can, and why? To start, I assume, discussions like this to generate traffic his way to make money. Great for him, but not something I would do.I am not sure conducting a conversation and calling someone the name that you used in post 27 of this thread would be appropriate for a friendly discussion though?
