You can start doing it if you want. The 'Post New Topic' button is on the top right of the page

Since when is stating an opinion bitching?
Overreactions and the type of reply you've just spit out are the real reasons some people are participating less & less in this forum.
You weren't stating an opinion, you were complaining because apparently too much of your precious time was being used up waiting for non-wedding images to load. Really was it that big of a deal to complain about that~ I suggest next time you take 5 minutes before you hit the reply key and ask yourself if it is?

In a free forum such as this everyone is entitled to express their opinion. And others are free to disagree or discuss that opinion.
What leads to problems are those who lack the basic communication skill set or brainpower needed to have a civil discussion so they resort to personal attacks.
Calling someone a "whiner" or claiming that they are "bitching" are personal attacks and that's often when the gloves come off and things get messy.
Personal attacks are against the forum rules, and for very good reasons. Your post contained a personal attack, and mine did not.
Anyways, I'm sure others don't want to see this thread littered with this kind of tripe. If you feel the need to call me names again then just do it via a PM.

Funny you call posting like these civil:

Nobody is whining .. just stating an opinion .. if you don't like it then p off.
Having your own opinion is absolutely fine, but really if you don't like a post, simply stay out of it...
I didn't shoot as many as some, but this was my favorite.. It was a close race, but out of 3 this is my favorite. Printed in 16x20 to hang on the wall.
First post on FM and love tons of the work posted here so wanted to contribute my own favourite wedding shot of 2009. It was hard to pick only one but I think this is it.. maybe..
Seriously I think some people on here just bitch for the sake of doing so! Jeez~ get over yourselves!!!
