A Response to a Mole

A response to ‘les berger des photons’ comments on my last post:

So nice of you to blame my ‘paranoia’ on ‘the stress (I’m) feeling’, rather than a critical thinking/common sense reaction to your ‘professional photographer brother’s’ horse shit analysis of an area I’ve been researching and writing about and making videos about for over a year (Spacex). I don’t believe he’s your brother or a lawyer in Texas, by the way… (In fact, I’ll bet you a hundred bucks he’s not your brother or a photographer or lives in texas. More on this at the bottom.)

But let’s take a look at his best shot:

Any you want to know why the exposure for a light colored object that is up in the air in direct sunlight, which looks to be the underexposed surface of white rocket, which normally would be glowing, isn’t enough to make sidelit water, apparently approaching dusk, not enough to make the water as bright blue as in the pictures from space where it is hit with full sun.

Do me a favor, since you seem to respect me so much: Read that ‘sentence’ aloud. Go ahead, do it. Anyone else out there who found yourself nodding when you first read it, please do likewise. Start with this aloud: ‘Any you want to know…’

Mmmm. And it goes downhill from there. That… paragraph makes no sense whatsoever. Does it? DOES IT? This is your ‘lawyer’ (and ‘professional photographer’) writing, knowing it will be quoted online? (I won’t even deal with the Sistine image crap, since all I said about it was that the eyelines were different. Go back and look. That you would try to discredit me about so minor an issue is a ‘tell’ that your agenda here is not truth, but misdirection.)

And this:

So the picture on the left is shot with a lens longer than wide angle and you are wondering why everything is not in focus in the background. Depth of field comes to mind.

A couple possibilities occur to me, especially given that whatever your ‘pro photog’ thinks he’s saying is wrong to begin with. The two cameras ARE THE SAME – as I showed in an early video, Musk claims to use Gopros in hardened cases. I’ve been using them for over 10 years and know their properties very well. Anyone – let alone a photographer – looking at those two images can clearly see that the earth is not right in either of them, but especially on the left. Why would… anyone claim that the cameras were different? The best they could do?

With the gibberish paragraph your ‘lawyer/pro photog’ ‘brother’ is using NLP, i.e., trying to confuse the reader into ‘giving up’, since the sentence is literally nonsense (the ‘pro photog’ bit is ‘appeal to authority’).

And your little details about your life and your ‘brother’s’ life is more bull shit. (But you made him up out of whole cloth, anyway. Didn’t you?)

And you write this as a capper: ; He found what he saw as faults in your analyses of these images and pointed them out. Surely one is allowed to disagree with you allan?’

Half-assed NLP. What you are not ‘allowed’ to do on this blog is lie and misdirect.

He’s a lawyer and a professional photographer, huh? How do you describe him? Here: ‘he’s in texas and working as a lawyer for people who are generally getting fucked by our system and have been lucky enough to find him.’

Wow. ‘people getting fucked by the system.’ Must mean he’s honest and on our side, huh? Is that what you mean? And his clients are ‘lucky enough to find him.’

Really? Let’s take another look at his argumentational skills:

‘Any you want to know why the exposure for a light colored object that is up in the air in direct sunlight, which looks to be the underexposed surface of white rocket, which normally would be glowing, isn’t enough to make sidelit water, apparently approaching dusk, not enough to make the water as bright blue as in the pictures from space where it is hit with full sun.’

Lucky enough to find a lawyer who can’t write a coherent sentence?

You know what? Is there anything more I need say here? You’ve wasted my time (and hiked a mile to send this) and my subscribers’ time with your misdirection and deceit. Do you have kids? What do you tell them about your job?

$100 bucks. Take a screen shot of your brother’s email (same last name I assume) and another of a letter head or whatever that proves he’s a lawyer in Texas; also prove he’s worked as a pro photog and I’ll send you $100. 36 hours from the time of this post.

Oh, a question about the ‘theJoff@gmail.com address. Does it go over well when you email women looking for a date?
