There are too many people, plus most of them are no damn good.

In the old days, Crumby had to leave the house to reinforce his faith. But these days, any time Crumby begins to doubt this basic tenet of Druidism, all he has to do to renew his faith in humanity is visit his favorite electric photo website, dpreview. Mercy!

At this particular nonce, the best forum for the faithful is the Sony slr talk forum. Why? Because the Sony bunch is unhappy with the new slew of dslrs Sony has recently launched into the free market. Yes. The Sony bunch, instead of showing some free market gumption, like maybe pooling their expertise and resources and building their own great camera, alternatively bitch and whine about the offerings from Sony. Well, to be fair, not all of the Sony bunch, bitch. No. Even now the fan boys fan.

Yet where are the trolls? Well. Some trolls have possibly sneaked on to the Sony dslr talk forum. Yes. A few trolls may be stoking the fires of discontent. But most of the trolls hang out on the Olympus slr talk forum, which, in normal times is the best forum for a faith boost.

Trolls and fan boys are despicable categories of humans. Not only are they despicable, but many of the trolls and fan boys may be in the employ of the big camera companies. Like for example, the two biggest companies, Canon and Nikon, have troll budgets. That’s right, those two camera behemoths hire trolls. So lots of the trolls may not be genuine trolls, but merely hireling trolls. The hireling trolls are paid to visit the little camera maker’s forums. What do the trolls do once they infiltrate the little camera maker’s forums? Easy that, those trolls stir up trouble. Yes they do. They stir up trouble. How? Easy that, they make sport of a little camera maker’s products or cameras. When those trolls do that, the fan boys of that little camera maker get really excited. Then everyone gets in a big virtual fight. Many are offended. Some get their feelings hurt. Sometimes, the whole business gets totally out of control. Then the entire thread may be pulled.

Goodness! What’s it like to have your thread pulled?

The various camera makers may also hire fan boys. How awful is that? These pseudo fan boys only pretend to be fans of the cameras because they get paid. How sick is that? Pretty sick, all righty then.

Hmm. Is it really true that a camera manufacturer would budget for fan boys? Crumby, given the evidence collected on dpreview, believes they do. Yes. All of them, even little Ricoh, hire fan boys. However, Ricoh can’t afford to pay actual fan boy salaries. No. Instead the Ricoh fan boys get like decorative empty film canisters. The Kodak and Fuji fan boys, on the other hand, get film canisters with actual film inside.

Besides the creepy trolls and fan boys working on the cheap, scabbing for the various camera companies, a great many goofy or maybe sinister humans wind up posting on the virtual reality show, dpreview. Who are these additional sinister humans? What do they want?

Like what do these sinister humans mean when they post something like, It’s not the camera, it’s the person behind the camera. Like really, what do they mean, behind the camera? Behind the camera is bound to be like code words for behind the camera. Behind the camera is where no one can see the result. Right? Mercy!

Alas, many with non-photographic related agendas like to sneak on the various forums. For example, the Republican digital photographers, (but are they actual digital photographers or hirelings of the RNC), espying a snow scene photo diligently submitted to the forum by some innocent, invariably fire off a comment sporting global warming. How cool is that?

Oh my Goddess! When will all of these vultures be denied a last meal?, Crumby prays.

Another bunch that likes to sneak on to the forums is total dumb asses. Well. Maybe they are total dumb asses, but maybe not. They could be trolls or fan boys representing some big, like super huge international camera company. Seriously, one has to consider that likelihood.

OK. Here is a typical example of a total dumbass question. OK. I am fixing to travel abroad! Is there any camera that I can like take on an airplane that is sufficiently small to fit up in my vagina, if I actually had a vagina, or maybe my anus? Yet this camera must like have a very high ISO capacity. Did I mention anus and high ISO?

Eventually, this query is bound to wind up on the micro 4/3 forum. That’s because the m4/3 cameras are fairly little, yet have a possibly high IQ at high ISO, maybe, depending, comparitively. How dark is it inside this particular human anus? What are we talking about here? I would go with a Nikon D3 here for low light, depending on the volume or space, where the sun don’t shine.

Oh! Crumby almost forgot. The frostweed frosted over again this morning. That's four events for the Crumby Ovate.
