lol. I swear that someone logs on everyday just to smite you.

If you want to avoid smites, do not say anything other than "the 7D is the greatest camera ever made and nothing can surpass it". I gotta go. I think the 7D Gestapo are on to me......

I haven't given you negative smites, but, you seem to have made some enemies with posts like

"Are you on drugs or what?! 7D is one of Canon's best selling and most popular cameras. 5000 Pro's were surveyed so that Canon could come up with the specs for the 7D"

Accusing someone of being on drugs probably might have brought a ban, but the moderator likely missed it. This is exactly the type of thing that brings on smites.

I agree with you, only that's not a quote from me. That was from MikeHunt. Go figure that comment came from someone with a name like that. Look at the quote box again and you'll see.

Actually, his community right here is one of the reasons not to switch to Nikon. :)
Even with the karma system and elevated nerves in the past couple of weeks, this community is much more mature, knowledgable and positive than the cesspool that the nikonrummors comments are. Yes, there are a lot of good comments there but wading through all the garbage in hope to find them is intolerable.

Cricket - a game to watch with a 400 + 1d4 in one hand and an ice cold in the other :D

We are just getting into spring and its about 17 in the day and the sun is shining again :D

MotoGP starts soon so there goes Sunday afternoon unless I go visit the circuits. You near Philip Island and the penguins?

They're just jealous of all your equipment :) I think it's gear envy.

As for the karma system, put me in the indifferent/apathetic category. Some of the most helpful, respectful, and experienced photogs on here have the most smites, which tells you that the karma system is a complete joke. Unfortunately, lots of people hit the smite button to restore their self-esteem whenever someone hurts their wittle feelings with an opinion that's different for their own.

True... but I think there are 2 more categories, Canon zealots who will not hear a word against the corporation and I suspect some people who shape opinion and might even be on some Canon corporate "carrot" program... you never know. At the end of the day we all have canon gear so its not like anyone here hates Canon, its just that we want the best value from them of they want to charge us this much (and for that, I thank Nikon... without them we'd still have the 5D1's AF system)..

Amazingly before posting this thread, I had 30 posts with 3/3 Karma... now I have 32/22 Karma! wow so much love out there... :P

My conclusion for this social experiment is : Misery loves company :-X

and I will be looking out for you guys.... fighting crimes against you and balancing the books. :D
