So Jeff has never used any of your photos?

Christopher, do you know in fact of any of this photographer's photos that have been used by TA? If not, I think we should stay well away from personal attacks.

 

They aren't needed.  @phototristan has now spent approximately 2000% of the time necessary to fix this on raising spurious objections to having the person primarily responsible for the problem perform the simple fix. 

[wgscott]

May I suggest the following compromise and remedy?

 

1.  Jeff Dorgay, the publisher of TONEAudio, should write to Chris (CA), apologize for the spurious accusations and threats, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless CA for the RSS posts.

 

2.  CA should remove ToneAudio from the list of RSS feeds on this website.

 

3.  Jeff Dorgay, the publisher of TONEAudio, should change the Wordpress setting (in the unlikely event that this was a genuine error of intent).

I have done sound for bands like Starship and The Platters in in a past work life. 

 

Now there's a variety.

Seems reasonable and good online citizenship to me.

We cannot second-guess this.

 

 

Yet that is what you are doing

 

 

 

What we can and do KNOW is he does not intend for it to be published here, from his email. 

 

 

 

Yes he did!  You don't get to drink, drive, and say "my intent was not to break the law or harm anyone"!

 

 

 

That CA refuses to do anything is telling for sure. 

 

 

 

Telling in the sense that he understands RSS, and you don't.

Or as a possible substitute for #2, bring the feed back when and if the WordPress setting is changed. 

 

How much of a chance do you give  it?

I'm not saying he shouldn't, I'm saying he may not know how or he may not be capable of doing so (at least not this quickly) if his website is managed by some web admin. person or something like that.  This is not a reason to just ignore his request though.

Given the above, isn't it about time for, "Stop feeding the troll"?

If it was a politely-worded "request," rather than a bunch of demands, legal threats and spurious accusations, the outcome might have been more favorable.

 I doubt that's the only reason.

I had someone legally threaten me once to take down a copy of a Letter to the Editor of a newspaper (in response to one of her own).  I refused to take it down simply because I did not want to allow a bully to get their way.  

 

Interesting because I assume you didn’t sign over copyright of the letter you wrote.

 

I once was the editor of a document specification, one that I contributed primary development of, as well a software that operated on, and became an ASTM standard. 

I published the document format on my website. After it became an ASTM standard I received a nasty letter requiring me to take down the standard from the Web.

S*it — how would anyone find out about it? Oh fork out $$$ for an ASTM standards book! 

So I kept a “draft” copy up, one that I had put my own copyright notice on, and promptly quit the ASTM committee — at least the W3C freely publishes its documents.

Christopher already knows all this and he was asking why?  Why has @phototristan gone down this silly road?  What is his personal connection with Jeff?

There is none. I've literally never heard of him until a friend of mine forwarded me this thread.

Please let me know about any other reason you can think of.

Even if it is Jeff, it shouldn't be relevant.

Well,  there's nothing like a good old controversy to bring in more viewers/members. Heck, you and Jeff could even be in cahoots with each other on this.

So your just a guy who is unaware of RSS, publishing, internet and are jumping in with false assertions of intent, how to play nice, and the like.  At least your honest...

Wrong. It's "you're".

It's such a foolish assertion I didn't think it deserved a response. 

 

To please you - I am denying it 100%.

It brought you here, which clearly has been a great benefit to all parties involved.

I've been here a lot in the past.  I just couldn't remember my old login so I had to create another one.

Seems like you and ToneAudio have something in common.  You both don't know how to click a mouse button.  Stop RSS for him and "forgot my password" for you.
