Thank you. That's the same conclusion that JJ below thought.  It makes pen selections difficult with backgrounds like this one.  (My wife and I in 1972) I'll keep on trying.  Maybe have to adjust my eye glasses! lol   ... View more

Thanks Dean for your thoughts. I appreciate the fact that you consider it very difficult to decide what is political and what is not. I tend to think it’s quite simple to make the determination. Posting an animated gif showing the president of the United States purposely melting icebergs, as if to say he has no respect for the environment, is about the same as my posting of an animated gif showing Senator Bernie Sanders, dressed as the grim reaper sinking in a small porous boat while screaming “I want your money”! They both would be considered humorous by some and disrespectful by others, yet both gifs are political. I honestly can’t see what you don’t understand about the distinction. It’s very simple to request non-political posts. Just don’t make cute, disparaging and mis-leading posts  about public figures such as Gavin Newsom, Nancy Pelosi, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or other opposing politicians. In my opinion this would also apply to contentious political matters. What’s difficult about that? There are other methods of bringing in humor. I belong to many forums, as do most on this forum, and none of them accept political or controversial posts.  In fact, most have moderators who will remove questionable posts. One forum, to which many here also belong, states "rude, disrespectful or disruptive behavior may result in warnings against your account”. The definition of these terms are usually determined by the moderator. To not follow these guidelines  would invite infighting which would, in my opinion, be the ruination of an interesting and very information forum. This is completely up to the moderators and I will abide by their rules.  I just didn’t realize that rude, mis-leading political satire was acceptable.  My mistake, now I know! I could say much more, but I think it was fall on deaf ears for the most part. You need not reply to me Dean as I will not be here. There are numerous photoshop forums where I can gather knowledge and methods. Thanks you and Dave for letting me voice my opinion. ... View more

Thanks Jonah for your comment. I wasn’t expecting many people agreeing with me on a site such as this one. So, no surprises there. Certain groups tend to feel that they have a monopoly on opinions since they are so much more enlightened than others.  Now that political opinions and comments are acceptable here, I have many hilarious gifs and cartoons I can contribute. Oh well, it was nice before it became politically oriented. ... View more

I’m not sure of this rules of this particular forum, but in my opinion, decorum would dictate that expressing political opinions would be off limits. Personally I am a President Trump fan, but it makes no difference  to me who you prefer. I feel that political opinions can rapidly deteriorate a non-political forum from it’s original purpose to nothing but a place of dissension. ... View more

Wow! You have much more involvement in racing that I ever did. The last time I raced is drag racing at 16 yo, 1958! My first experience was when our son and I saw Nigel Mansell in an Indy car after he won the F1 championship.  We saw him at Laguna Seca in 1993 in California.  We followed F1 for many years, but there seem to be too dxxx many rules now.  Makes it safer, but makes it much more robot like. Seems now it's 95% car and 5% driver.  Seemed better in the "old Days".  I guess the "grumpy old man" is showing! ... View more
