i defended the photographer and offered a solution (that worked) that didn't involve bashing.

i said some blame (granted, not a percentage) should go to the owner, exhibitor, but that was rejected out of hand as somehow blasphemous.

100%blame photographer, 0%blame owner exhibitor.  i get it. 

not sure how defending someone is stoking the fire.

i went back and reviewed all my posts on this thread.

i didn't see once where i wasn't offering a solution (that worked).

the original walt browarny.

i like that he branced out into other areas, including livestock people.

i also like that he goes to different countries.

i like that he is transferring his entire catalog to digital, over 2.5 million photographs, which includes many historic bulls, and many yet to be discovered (both new and old)

knabe,

Have you ever exhibited cattle at Denver? Ever been to the NWSS?

nope, now lets kill the messenger. 

GONEWEST, ever read about john adams defending the british officers involved in the boston massacre?

what if the photographer or personnel at Denver were your kids.

GONEWEST, would you volunteer to be supervisor of all the staging areas for photography?

or are you more concerned about me.

Oh brother knabe................................
Did you ever spank your kids when they were bad?????? Do you think your children should be immune from real life lessons. Good grief!!!! If my kids screw up I hold them accountable and feel like if they are working in the real world that others should do the same. You aren't doing anyone any favors going on like you are, you are starting to look ridiculous. JMO

Ditto.  For all my appearances at Denver except one, we, the Lowlines, were lucky enough to have Walt shooting.  Couldn't have been better!  He's not only a gifted technician, but he's a he-- of a good guy to work with!  The one time I didn't have Walt, I still had a good outcome.

I guess I missed the attack/defend part. My point was that the suggestions you offered weren't practical for the situation. Nothing to do with if the guy should have "attacked" the photographer, which I missed. I just though the was voicing his displeasure at the service he received. Didn't know you were "defending" him, just thought you had offered "solutions" to the problem. I just thought that if you had even ever been there, you'd know the solutions you offered weren't practical. That's all. Geez. And I never knew you were so sensitive about standing up for others who ARE attacked. Never seen you stand up for the President here. Sorry I ruffled your feathers, didn't mean to.

maybe i'm missing something, one of the solutions i offered worked.

the others were preparing ahead, being more observant, etc.


Never seen you stand up for the President here.
obama,  hmm.  good one.  there's a difference here i'll try and delineate (but won't succeed).  in one case, someone did a poor job, and could improve along with extenuating circumstances.  with obama, he's doing a great job converting to stateism.  i wish him the best of luck at converting to stateism as quickly as possible, because at some point, the government will have to tax itself, and when that threshold is passed, then and only then will people understand what is going on.  the republicans thought they could do it at a slow pace to fool their constituency that they weren't abandoning free market principles, even though they were.  both parties are a single party.  obama is not, that i can see, embracing liberty and capitalism.  people forget that during the war, a large percentage of gold changed hands to the US at the expense of almost everyone else.  this was my point earlier regarding currency devaluation.  to me, the loser of WWII was britain, as they were no longer a global superpower.  the history of gold from after WWI till we went off the gold standard during nixon's administration and who benefited is interesting.

just thought i would compliment obama for a second

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090129/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_bonuses

the bonuses should be for performance, not retention.

since there was no performance, no bonus was needed.  however, shareholders should do something about it, not government.

in one sense, if the people who get bonuses spend it, they actually ARE stimulating the economy in a broader sense than giving money to special interest groups like 90% of the payoff just like blago bill.

think about it.  we are giving up future revenue of cattle to distribute now for special interest groups that have little to do with private sector jobs.  if government's function is to convert a larger and larger share of the economy to government, what curbs are there. 

question.  how can the government tax itself?

This is a great post for our younger viewers on purchasing ideas.
1. If you dont like how something looks DONT BUY IT. (You can see the photo before you buy it at Denver.)
2. If you have a problem with something talk to the company before you buy and see if they can fix the problems.( There are people right there taking your orders.)
3. If you buy something and still have a problem go to the company FIRST and give them a chance to fix it before you come on a massage board and start bashing them anonymously.

Must be a bad week in the land of fruits, flakes and nuts. Serves no purpose to continue.

Reading back through the posts on the this topic I made the following observations:

Knabe defined the problem.

Knabe offered a solution.

The solution worked.

Knabe was successful. And in America success is now punished!

Knabe is in need of our understanding and we should support him as he goes through sensitivity and diversity training. :D  ;)


Please don't scold me Red. You might have to go through anger management and conflict resolution class if you do. ;) ;)
