Message: <blockquote data-quote="Steve C" data-source="post: 3242982" data-attributes="member: 56622">Most of the rancor here is directly attributable to denco.  It is POINTLESS to illustrate his flip flops and various other absurdities. You can be logical, friendly, adversarial, or outright angry, no approach will work.  I've embarrassed myself trying (yeah he's made me really mad a couple of times), but no more...no more.  He seems to be driven to be the final source on binocular opinions.  That is too bad because he probably has enough experience to be a useful contributor.  However, discussions with his involvement are NEVER about optics, they are always about denco.  Moderator involvement always tells us to keep discussions on optics (fine advice to be sure), but they miss the point optics discussions on denco dominated threads are pointles, even impossible.  I'm not taking issue with the moderators, by and large they get to the right place and I do not envy their task.You have to put denco on your personal ignore, just scroll right on by.  Forum ignore does not work because somebody always feels compelled to quote him, sometimes necessary but it crashes the forum ignore function.  So my advice is to stop wasting any of your life energy arguing with him.  That is what he lives off of.  Just report the post.  If the moderators get enough denco reports maybe they will get the hint.I hope everyone has a good weekend. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
