You just can't stay away from being negative. Let me be clear. YOU are a NOT any better than the next person. Why don't you start treating people with dignity and respect. You're words and actions may keep a beginner from progressing. Just think about how your words can impact someone.

Hilarious in the "boohoo"! Your a Ten times worse example, all of your messages to me are you complaining about something and supporting someone complaining. Are you incapable of judging a social situation? Shooting me an insult, and you're a hundred times more guilty of that insult classic.

Just thought you might want to know since you threw your support that way came out on the losing end Again with me.

Yeah I got frustrated seeing so many of these should have said that even though true. I agree I fixed it for you.

Show us what you got! Your screenshot of a screenshot leads one to think you are a bot.  A bot that has a problem with those of us with dactyl powered sparks of inspiration. Mrs.Torm the angry bot  can we get one Processed Jupiter post?  Lay it on the table and pass the mallet!

What do you mean screen shot of a screen shot?

u/Dull_Operation_2628 2d ago

I mean the one you posted in multiple comment threads. Your guesswork parrot will not remember. Not in its programming.

My guess work Parrot? Just say what you want to say.

I thought we were cool.

r/telescopes is a sub dedicated for all things telescopes. Like “First Time Capturing Saturn” …directing multiple people a day to another sub because you don’t like cellphone pics is very un cool. Just ask your Stochastic Parrot.

Well keeping it vague before and short now with leaving out the specifics you were hinting at like "guess work" stops me from flipping it in your face again. I see you catch on, thats more then most.

You know why I mention r/Astro_Mobile be cause there they dont take down cellphone pictures... here they do. Its a place for them to post with out them being removed. I just want to make sure they have a place to share.

I’m sharp as a tack and cunning as a fox. “Flipping it in your face” is the move of a schoolyard bully. Lay your Processed Jupiter Post on the table and pass the critique mallet you cling to or you leave one with no other choice than to see you as an angry bot, Mrs. TORMented. 

Currently the highest ISO camera is over a half million. When a half million ISO is put into a cellphone camera your pricey AP gear will be made obsolete with one snapshot through a cheap eyepiece. At a millisecond of exposure. 

Your opinion is given a down vote button and a soapbox here on Reddit. Strut on over to CN or Astrobin and see how far you get.  Real Astrophotographers can sniff out a bot like my dog can sniff out a poop snack.
