That's not true Kai, you can do somthing and you did.

The mods need to understand that there is more to this place than being "fair" to everyone. Here's my thought - as long as I enjoy interacting here, then I stay. And while I stay, I happen to create a lot of value both for the individuals participating and for the site.

But if I am so fed up that I don't participate, then that value creation stops. And then the community or the authority or both need to fix it.

The mods sometimes think that BOTH parties are partially right, because they believe in fairness and the (uncertain) principle that everybody is entitled to their opinion, especially when it is a subject where the moderator is unable to firmly be certain about the truth.

But this isn't about fairness or uncertain truth. The sRGB standard is written down, and kawecki repeatedly ignores its existance. He says that you don't need to GC if you have a modern monitor. This ignores the reasons that monitor vendors specifically have not made monitors linear.

Since monitors are not linear, but the "rendering equation" is linear, you have to convert data in and data out. This is a simple premise that I can say in one sentence, but instead I have to say in a thousand sentences because kawecki tells people something different, something opposite - he tells them that only old monitors have this problem that needs correction.

It isn't a problem it's a design choice that is a standard. Gamma correction is not a correction at all anymore - it is part of how things work.

Just like camera f/stops are not linear but based on a power function, so is the output of a digital display. He refuses to accept this, and forces me to type about it over and over in a thousand different ways, until it looks like I'm the one being argumentative.

At that point, this whole thing becomes very NOT fun for me. And I'm only here for fun. I do not have any commercial interest in anything related to GC. Having him accuse me of LYING in order to promote PRODUCTS that I do not HAVE is INSULTING. AND I AM PISSED OFF.

I cannot work when I'm pissed off. So this isn't about me "taking it out on all of you". This is about me shaking in my chair, unable to think about code. You have to be in the zone to code well, and I'm so fucking far out of the zone it's not funny.

My point to the community was this: kawecki and aeilkema are part of the community and they make it SUCK for me. If you want me to stay, then you need to discuss the problem of individual trouble makers and FIX it.

Or I will walk for more than a day or two. I'll walk for good. I hope all of you realize this is nothing more than a hobby for me and right now it's not a fun one at all.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
