One may have a rule for or against rfc's and votes but I always think that for those of you who rule against rfc's you very well forget that those requesting may think differently .because one person take something one way does not mean that is how the other person meant it..

Some of us have a desire and passion to throw every ounce of ourselves into learning...and for some of us,,those votes are very very important as well as the RFC...they were given to us as tools to use and just because we try and take advantage of that for our learning's sake does not mean we are complainers about votes and comments,,a point which I feel continuously gets looked over,,it is a matter of personality...Another situation is that Newbies take time to understand the long run and only time and experience will shed some light..A bit of patience , and teaching usually warrants for learning .

I respect other's feelings about such things and to reiterate myself again,,,a little more repsect the other way should be in order...then we must each be willing to accept the others feelings and go on about our mission perhaps without resolve.

Yes there are those here who have seen much water go under the bridge but those too must understand that those who have not are not in the same disposition which may only come about with time.

I truly feel that for those who do not practice with ethics, well what goes around comes around and that this is something I personally do not have control over nor want control over.

It was suggested to contact a photog directly for advice and opinion..well that is what the RFC is for,,If you want to improve your skills and you see you get 6's from the same voter over and over again,  sometimes we want to go after that voter and impress them by improving our skills..so we rfc so that we can someday "impress" that voter...as that will have lended us to attaining a personal goal..not hound or ask for justification..

I myself have averaged higher scores from many here but there have always been those who habitually give me 6's still..it is those voters who I know I must improve for as then, I will have truly reached a milestone...and so when a request is ignored , I cannot help but feel displaced...Geesh   I am honest and have integrity and only want to learn,,why will you not help me ..you are able to keep giving a 6 or less but not advice or opinion..Forgive me truly for expecting that you would help..I was caught up in my quest for knowledge ,,not beratement or accusation..I say this with humility and in hopes that you will truly understand how some feel towards these issues...

yes we must accept everyone's opinions and for the most part do..Yes their are flaws and yes we are all people who must work to get along,,it is give and take..

But enough from the Tonka diaries.

Just my way of thinkin on it.

edited I had to switch "comes" with "goes"
