The one thing which is quite obvious is Floyd's arrogant denigration of anybody who disagrees with him, interprets what he says literally, or fails to discern what it is he actually means from his arcane diatribes. He dismisses software and technics he does & won't use as some sort of lesser species.

nospam
yep.

he's stuck with inferior systems and must bash.

Savageduck
No wonder he has to live where he does, and I am sure that he is the most respected and sought out technical blabber mouth in Barrow.

nospam
or the only one.

There are other folks who question Floyd's credentials and some of the stuff he says.

This was a discussion which when it came up in rec.photo.digital fell apart quite quickly when Floyd told Tony Cooper he was wrong regarding "Street Photography". It seems he also tried to fly his concept in dpreview forums. <http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/50358552>

nospam
a lot of threads on dpreview in which he participated contain the same argumentative bullshit he spews here.

floyd even used to tell roger clark, a frequent poster here many years ago and who designs sensors for spacecraft, that roger was wrong, which is really hilarious.

Then there is this Barrow local who seems to have issues with Floyd. <http://majikimaje.com/WordPress/2010/04/28/floyd-davidson-barrows-pathological-liar/>

and there's this: <http://www.logbookwasilla.com/logbookwasilla/2013/11/20/iphone-a-camera-to-laugh-at.html> "This is the camera I have been using lately," I said as I pulled my iPhone out of my pocket and framed him on my screen. He sat there waiting expectantly, as he had misunderstood and thought I was going to show him a picture on my phone of whatever fancy camera I am now using. Then Floyd realized I had I had just taken his picture with my iPhone and it was the camera I was talking about. He burst out laughing. I took another shot. 

I think I would laugh in the same circumstances.

I think that photograph also puts the lie to at least some of the statements by "this Barrow local who seems to have issues with Floyd". --
