I understand your point and while you entertain him, I just call him out.like i said philosophically, it doesn't matter to me...i don't think anyone'e opinion of EWD would change no matter what was posted and if he were to post more work, it probably wouldn't make the tone of his post more palatable either, i imagine; both you & ksteezy have brought up the point that there is a recognition that some people are just let things go to their head - doubly so on the world wide interwebs - as someone who nerds out on the gear, philosophy, and techniques of many of the different genres of photography & respects everyone's perspective/skill level, i am only a hobbyist so i don't believe i've ever criticized anyone's work beyond a technical level here (or anywhere else for that matter), and even that is mostly only if that person is explicitly seeking it...
all that is to say, why keep trolling the troll? (not that i'm necessarily saying homie is one but it seems that some here do), why not just approach it like anything else; the messenger shouldn't always dictate the value of the message...being that we all obviously exist on the web, sifting through the endless noise of information and deciding what can be useful from it should be quite the norm...#justsayin
I'm a firm believer that to talk about something you should have first hand knowledge not just read reviews and take them as face value.
