Pongo,
C'mon dude, don't take Grun seriously as obviously he was joking.
Because he makes a joke about you and Kerry doesn't make it true.
No one here has that much power over anyone else here.
For the record, no one here thinks that you're homosexual only because of what Grun posted.

Grun, How's the D70 doing? Any pics?
A good friend of mine sold his Canon (D60) equipment and bought the D70. He really loves the overall performance in a lightweight package.

Make him happy and delete that part of your thread. He got offended by it. Otherwise it'll lead to the next 30 posts talking about it.


You guys are sensitive, eh?

Apparently Pongo is on this particular subject. You seem to be sensitive to Pongo's sensitivity ;)

Carl Rove is getting desperate, using Drudge to sling this against the wall again hoping for it to stick.

Here's a bit of a disclaimer to this article...

Then, the NYT’s Bill Keller wrote a column trashing Kerry as “the ersatz J.F.K., who fancies himself a global strategist because 30 years ago he faced down a Vietcong ambush” (see THE DAILY HOWLER, 8/13/02). Kerry’s a plenty strange dude, Keller said. “[W]ith all due respect for his exploit,” the scribe asked, “how utterly weird is it that he then took out his handy 8-millimeter camera and re-enacted his heroism on film?” But oops! In a later column, Keller acknowledged that he had misstated the content of Kerry’s “home movies” from Vietnam (see THE DAILY HOWLER, 9/9/02). “[T]he senator’s movies are not self-aggrandizing. Mr. Kerry is hardly in the film,” Keller said. Where had Keller obtained his bogus info? Where else? He had relied on the “usually dependable” Boston Globe, the misinformed Times pundit said.

Love the D70. :)

Deleted part of post.  

I hope Pongo realizes I meant no offense or to imply that he was gay. Moreover I hope sees that my response to his reaction is an indication of my general goodwill towards him. Otherwise I would not go to such lengths to apologize. Additionally as this thread developed I could have responded in a much more abusive way if my intention was to cause harm or to upset him. But I did not because that was never my intent. It was a bad joke.

I thought not.

Big surprise.

Grun, Thanks. It should be obvious that you were only joking. I deleted my posts as they're not necessary.

So now we can go to more important things like bashing Kerry! (Oops, did I say that?) :D

What kinds of photography are you using your D70 for now? What areas does it just shine for you, and what areas do you feel it can use some improvement?
