Yes, Pelham, I do like when people put up or shut up, especially when being judgemental/giving critique.  Absolutely.

Never even heard of DPC prior to you mentioning it.  What little time I do have (and fuck you for the insinuation I spend fuck loads of time online without knowing shit about me. I just happen to be really really good and an incredibly fast reader.. and multitasker), I spend on digital-photogrpahy-school.com/forums where I’m a moderator. Look me up, BigFuzzy.  I’ve written literally hundreds of critiques that have helped people and where people have thanked me, offered me their children, whatever.. and you know what, that don’t mean jack shit (though it is a lot more than you piddly two ribbon winners..whooppee).

PS your link isn’t to any of your work. Coward.

And yeah, now I’m pissed about your “real life” comment… again, put up or shut up.  Here’s me. Former US Army Ranger/Intelligence specialist. Currently working at the UN International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia as an Intelligence Analyst. I’ve served as an expert witness in various large cases including the case against Slobodan Milosevic. I’ve lectured at national courts, West Point/Air Force Academy cadets.  Here’s the put-up or shut up proof:  http://ictytranscripts.dyndns.org/trials/slobodan_milosevic/040126IT.htm… borrelli, that’s ME. As in same guy as http://www.alborrelli.com.

I’d like to think that I’m a pretty fucking busy guy and that my life is certainly “real” , so again, fuck you. When was the last time you were considered a world expert (ps I was 27 at the time) on anything, much less asked to testify about your expertise at the highest levels of a court dealing with such world defining issues/events. Call our press offices, ask for Mr. Borrelli, and talk to me about what a “real” life you have.. I dare you.

Again, fuck you. Seriously.  God, I hate you arrogant fucks that talk shit online without one ounce of ability to back it up.  So, mr anonymously courageous Pelham, time to back up your talk or shut the fuck up…
My desire to have people put up or shut up is perfectly legit.  You don’t have to like it, but it’s legit.  Those who get defensive know it’s because they probably have no right to be judging others.  It’s why my work has been prominently pasted in my profile.  Might not be earth shatteringly great work, but I sure as hell believe it backs up my words.  Anyone can talk. Anyone.
Anyway.. thought this website forum would be fun.. all I’m generally seeing (not all of you folks of course!) are a bunch of pedantic holier than thou judgemental pricks not willing to back up their words.. I think I’m leaving this place… waste of time.
