banning people for nothing at canon rumors

Umm, sorry Guys, but What's a "No-teller" ?? and what's a "Yes-Teller" ??

Is that like, a Bank Teller ?? Why are we talking about Bank Tellers ??

I thought this thread was about Squirrels.

Maybe it's a "Squirrel-Teller".

I'd like to make a withdrawal please. From this thread. Though it looks like the feud might be heating up. Is it time to bring out the popcorn? I am craving squirrel-nut-zippers for some reason. (that is the name of a candy by the way, at least in the US). Am i setting myself up?

Where I am (Canada), we have Grey Squirrels, Black Squirrels (locally referred to as tree rats), and red Squirrels. The winters are so cold that the red Squirrels have learned to fly over the snow....

You also have Northern Flying squirrels. The Black Squirrels you have up there are a melanistic form of Gray Squirrel. Actually, by far most Grey Squirrels used to be the black form, but after Europeans arrived and chopped up the forests the Grey form became much more common in most of the East. The black form is more common these days in the more northern portion of the Gray Squirrels range.

I quite like white squirrels.

Not sure why I shared that, but still. 8)

Never seen a white squirrel, but would like to. When i was a kid, a neighbor had a squirrel in a small cage. I stuck my hand in to pet the cute squirrel, then quickly withdrew it when the cute little squirrel attacked it leaving many painfull scratches on my hand. Too bad nobody was there to photograph this incident, or even better film it so I could make a movie and title it "Attack of the Killer Squirrel". Not sure why i shared this either, but we are discussing squirrels. Had to throw in there a little talk of photography at the end. :D

That's.......very informative, You clearly know your Squirrels, perhaps you could help me with some elucidation on Ankorwat's previous Post ?? Some points are less than clear.

It's clear now how to spell his Name
It's clear now Canon Sensors are Garbage, and Canon users are Losers.

But the rest I don't get

What's a Yes/No Teller ??
What's DR ?? I thought "Dead Reckoning", but it could mean something else
Whats "High Ceiling" ?? is that like 30,000 feet in a 747 ??
200-400 what ?? Squirrels ?? That's a damn load of squirrels

And he mentioned "We must know what we are talking about", I mean, everyone knows this thread has lost the Plot, and it's now about Squirrels, and Nut Zippers (sounds exceptionally painful), and who can Post the most bizarre Image of a Squirrel, and Criminals that Live upside down in a place called Downunder.

Yes, the photography thing at the end was going slightly off topic, stick to the Squirrels.

Yawn....

Thanks mods for all the unseen work you do keeping this place civilised, or even civilized depending where you live.
Lists like this live or die depending on the commitment of the list owner and the contribution of the unpaid mods.

No matter where on the planet you live, a quick visit to CR is an entertaining & informative daily destination.

DR stands for Dynamic Range.... as in the Dynamic Range of North American Squirrels is from Atlantic to Pacific, from tropics to the Tundra.....

I would have included a picture of a black squirrel, but it night-time here and black squirrels in the darkness don't show well.... my Canon camera does not have enough DR...

Yes, it is definitely time for you to buy Nikon. Either that or convert your camera to infrared. Also, dont forget flash. See, i have given you three possible options. Dont say i never made a useful contribution to CR.

I'm impressed Don, you & "lettherightlensin" know so much about the Thread subject, clearly Squirrels, in future if I need any answers on our furry little mates, I'm coming directly to you Guys.

But for now, I think I'm all Squirrelled Out, again, but this time I mean it, definitely.

One more off off topic comment and then i am quitting for the night: Ausatralia looks like a cool place to visit, but there are too many dangerous critters there for me. Here in the US, we have our killer squirrels, but there you have crocs, snakes, spiders, kangeroos?. Did I leave anything out emi?

Ok, this is Definitely Definitely my last

Are you just playing around in photoshop? I want to see a blue, or green or yellow squirrel now. A challenge to all who are still following this thread and are not bored with squirrels.
I follow this thread with great interest ... however, I think this Squirrel too must be banned ... the first Squirrel had innocent face nevertheless he was still an indecent fella ... but this Squirrel is not only indecent, outrageous and immodest but he also has evil red eyes, I think he is sent by the devil himself, ... I think one of the commandments of CR should be "Thou shalt not display thine junk in the congregation of sinners" (ooops sorry, I meant "Thou shalt not display thine junk in the congregation of the virtuous" ;D ... Admin/Mods this is a good reason to ban this Squirrel ;D

I have to agree. Bordering on the pornographic. xxx. :-[

Now, that squirrel is the best post on this thread :D

Totally agree, and for some strange reason they look smarter than the ones we have, probably speak "American" though.

This, from someone who's loo flushes backwards. Sheesh. ;)
this is a myth... i'm surprised you fell for this neuro.


i didn't finish reading the 7 pages of the thread, but I don't see why Canon F1 got banned.... maybe he called someone a moron once(is that really that wrong?)
maybe he disagreed with a mod(who cares?)

Has anyone given any evidence to why he was banned besides just saying he was a "jerk" or he disagreed with people? He may not have been the nicest guy in the internet, but all too often this forum is just a bunch of people agreeing with each other, slapping each others backs, and generally just cheering on Canon...
When someone has a little edgier opinion, or might have a little less cordiality, they are often treated like some kind of criminal.
Unless some good evidence is put forward(or i missed something) i dont see why F1 was banned....
I don't think disagreeing with people or upsetting some random members every so often is much of a justification.
