Yeah, I'm completely over this. It's just lame. Time to move on. I got no hard feelings for anyone except super hot chicks that give me raging hard feelings without me really having any choice in the matter.

That said, how the hell do I get rid of this crap? Epicski? Ebay (can I prove authenticity and get any real value? Which will be matched and donated.)

**steve** · 11-08-2006, 07:03 PM

I'm glad to see that (most) maggots will be putting this behind them. this got really ugly.
stormchaser is a good guy who fucked up.. I know it's hard to forget, but a little forgiveness can't hurt.

**mtbakerskier** · 11-08-2006, 07:10 PM

[QUOTE=AdironRider;981398]MD didnt watermark his image and he posted it up where millions of people could do just what Stormchaser did. He could have prevented it as well.

You are a goddamn idiot. It was blatent theft. So if you walk into a jewlery store, and take a rolex off of the counter its ok just because they hadnt locked it up yet?

Common dude. It's really sad when you expect the photographer to have to protect there own property when trying to post stoke. Because of assholes like you I will NEVER EVER post a non watermarked shot on this site ever again.

Fuck off, I didnt steal shit. I was just commenting on how people are flipping out over something that so fucking stupid. You continue the trend. Thanks for playing.

**mrryde** · 11-08-2006, 07:30 PM

hey did rummy quit, can't seem to find any info on it

**TreeRat** · 11-08-2006, 07:30 PM

StormChaser,

That took some balls to standup. more like the guy I know not the guy who took someone work as there own.

I am glad to see that your doing what you can to make this right.

Now with temps drop so we can do what we love so much.

Can I take your car the next time you leave it running and go in the house? I mean, what's the big deal, not like you were using it or anything.

You're a complete idiot. Get the fuck outta here.

**Bring On The Snow** · 11-08-2006, 07:45 PM

way to man up about what youve done.

Although what u did was completly wrong I can see how u could have made that mistake about not thinking about it and all

I think the way u and md9 solved it was a perfect solution

It's your mentality that causes these problems in the first place. This wouldnt be a problem if idiots didnt share the same fucked up logic that you seem to have.

Seriously stealling is a big fucking deal, whether its someones skis from the car / trail head or there intelectual property it's prety fucked up to say someone deserves to have there shit ripped off just becasue they didnt lock it up.

**BigDaddy** · 11-08-2006, 08:00 PM

Gotta say that apology probably took more balls than swiping the pic... Nice to see it and good to see the mostly positive response. Way to sort it out and stand up when most would hide.

**Crinkle** · 11-08-2006, 08:03 PM

f the apology, don't get me wrong md deserves every groveling word, but the fucking explination is lame. weeee, a backstory, yawn. You are damn lucky it was MD that you offended and not someone less, how should we say ?? morally upstanding and forgiving. If it was up to the masses you would have been friggin lynched. now beat it chump.

**Blurred** · 11-08-2006, 08:09 PM

I say ease up on the guy. He did some stupid shit, and I believe from the way he has handled it here, that he's the type of guy who has learned a lot from it.
He's been beaten on repeatedly, and has yet to snipe back. I enjoy fucking with people like him just like the next guy, but maybe it's time to cut him some slack.
I think he's learned his lesson.......we're just being abusive now.

Democrats kill it and Blurred tries to quell a flame war.

**midget** · 11-08-2006, 09:24 PM

I think you are full of shit. Fucksticks like you are a big reason why I don't post my photos very much on the internet anymore. I hope to one day see you flying over my windshield.

lol, good! I was worried you were out driving around looking for that dude! Hopefully he reads through the last thread, then we don't have to do it all again. I could just PM him and tell him what I learned, but that'd be too easy

**iceman** · 11-08-2006, 10:47 PM

K-stormchaser fucked up and apologized.

AdironRider doesn't even see that there was a problem, as apparently theft is cool with him.

I'd rather hang with Chris, stupid rednecks like AdironRider always freak me out after a while and I know a bunch.

Would that be in retaliation for events that happened to you in your youth? Ones you're unable to let go of? Just wondering....

I do feel compelled to jump back in here, because I fell into the same trap - I was going to PM AdironRider, but I'll just lay it up here:

No one suggested theft is oK, or cool with them. What he said is that maybe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure...

Here comes the part that I learned arguing a very similar point:

This forum is populated by people who make their living from intellectual property, and as such, the trafficking in said property is an issue near and dear to their (and by extension to the rest of the Maggot COMMUNITY) hearts and careers! One funny post from this summer was the guy who came on here and asked how to illegally download ski movies!!! Now that was great fun to watch the Mags' roar!!!

So, here's the cliff notes version... learn to respect just what it is that a photog creates, then you will see why they are (rightfully) defensive about any misuse!

I did... hope my experience helps.

I hate it when other people make sense, so fuck off with your logic, maaan.
