Rude comment!!! - DPChallenge Forums

07/09/2003 01:42:41 PM · #29

From the comments that I have seen uberfish make, its most probable that the comment he gave to inna was not a playful joke. He has abused the privelege of commenting on photo with his excessivly rude remarks.

Next is this comment-

I cannot believe you said this after seeing what this person had commented, an honest comment is not rude. An honest comment is meant to be constructive and educational not outwardly offensive! an honest comment is not- "raise the brats chin", or "dumb yank"! an honest comment is an honest opinion given by the viewer. I'm deeply sorry that you think "teenage obsessions" fits into the category of an honest comment.

It depends who its coming from. It is offensive to comment rudley to people who you do not know. Take for example, walking up to a person in the middle of the street and saying "You Dumb@$$!!" is much more innapropriate and offensive than say, telling that to your brother or close friend.

and as tfarrell correctly said "you can be honest without being rude". It's not like, either you can bash the person or say "nice shot", You can be honest and say it in the right manner as well.

exactly my point - weed through the comments - pull out what is helpful to you and forget about the rest. Some people may not make the most tactful comments - but at least this guy is leaving comments that suggest what would have made the photo better (in his opinion) it is a lot more than you get from others.

Other persons comment---
"Lose the bush, level the horizon, raise the brats chin, submit this to a more relevant challenge subject."

Nothing like constructive criticism. All I do is consider the source by clicking their ID.

Without even looking to see what the photo was that could have been put a lot better...

The bush doesn't work for me and the horizons needs to be be leveled out. The child's chin being raised a little could possibly help too.

Now in all honesty would that have offended you?

I'm sorry if that was my photo or my child I would have been very offended to the point I would have sent that person back a pm and told them that had not right to call the child a brat. That is just a total lack of disrespect to both you as the photographer and the child!!!!

i have just read thru 2 pages of comments this user makes, and at times they can be funny, but on the whole the guy is just pedantic, (nit picking)

he seems to think that a comment must contain a criticism,

maybe just needs diplomacy course

probably not getting any!

Don't forget, this is the internet. We don't get any sign of boody language, so we interpret words as we see them.
The comments may have been made in jest, even if they don't come across that way.
They may have a short term effect - but will it have made any difference to your life in a week, a month, a year?

I just hope that "rude comments" aren't sent back to this person telling them how rude they have been - two wrongs don't make a right

Nah, mine is better, and my bird has nicer hands, and she can actually play the piano (dont kid me that hands that close together are actually playing a tune), and my title wasnt the name of a rather ugly British Leyland rust bucket from the 70's/80's, and I used colour, and I used a better angle, and, um, thats all I can think of right now. See you on the 5s, 'The Other Piano Photograph Taker'

no your not over reacting and if the person who commented knew anything about music he would know that alegro means fast= speed as opposed to adagio which is a dancers term.....very rude

again - difference in opinion - I read through abunch of his comments and thought they were direct and to the point regarding what he didn't like or thought would make the shot better.

To oblige someone to use a term YOU like (say, "child" for "brat") instead of the one THEY want to use is authoritarian at best. And to assume that YOUR idea of rudeness is somehow universal shows a regretable insensitivity to the differences that make life worth living.

In my opinion calling a child a brat is demeaning to say the very least, I know as parents we do sometimes refer to a child as being a brat. It is like someone calling your wife or girlfriend a b* or the c word you would be offended if that happened!

And as a man you would get offended if someone called you a c********* so how come it is ok to call a child a brat?

You guys forgot to mention that he left the apostrophe out of "brat's!"
I mean, are we to believe that he is seeing more than one brat? What an uncivilized moron!

Now would somebody finally believe me when I say, honesty does not always pay? That is the main reason why I dont comment 100% of what I wanted to say, I filter some "unpleasant honesty" out, but sometimes find that all's left is "that's nice"
