Firstly i will say that there was no intention in making anyone leave the forum and for that matter you are correct i cannot stop you from producing whatever picture you see fit for the topic.
That said this is an adult forum and i personally find that there has been too much deviation in the Competition topic thread with items being discussed that are totally unrealated to the topic (and i am not the only one that has this opinion).
You knew how i felt about "Jmmy" after i asked if i could stuff him somewhere but still carried on with "Jimmy waves to Pig"
Reinardina then posted
I'm sure 'living' soft toys are not everybody's cup of tea, and will irritate some, me included.
Let's keep this forum a place for adults, and not turn it into a toddler's world full of talking, waving, kissing toys.
There may be a place for them on the 'Off topic' Forum; I can see a nice, successful thread in which toys can play the leading parts. I could probably add some of my 'Goll' shots to add a bit of spice.
However you still kept on with your comments not taking the hint that by this time some people were getting a bit fed up with the thread.
Sounds fun!!!
Pig and Jimmy causing chaos!!!
Then we open the door for "spank the monkey" come on guys this is all in a competition chat thread about Macro photography, this is why i made my comments about CBBC and the age group it caters for.
I am sorry if my comments offended you TweeniE and i hope that you do not quit, as said this was not my intention but can we please keep the banter in the off topic discussions and not in the competition chat threads.
Can't say a lot more without waffling on so hopefully we can move on with what we are all here for, Taking pictures and learning new skills.
PS: noticed that your parting shot was to ban me from your competition corner
