Carl Rogers - 10 Sep 2007 02:23 GMT Hi All,
Apparently, there have been too many pseudonyms attacking me recently. Fact is, my style of road-enthusiasm is proprietary and unnerves some. Others enjoy the Worldwide Highway Library. Thanks to that group!
These days, I'm often defending what is written against those whose point-of-view are what I consider too stubborn. Some have decided to attack my personal life. I no longer find MTR and RAD a useful medium, and if one don't follow the consensus of active posters you dig yourself into a hole that just gets worse. And personal.
I'm the type of my person who writes on roads in skillsets I possess, using viewpoints that come naturally in this study. I don't attack unless provoked. It's not my intent to harm others; it appears the culture here though is not conducive to the success of the Worldwide Highway Library. Thing is, I'm provoked way too much in MTR and RAD. It's not fulfilling. You cannot rationalise w/ irrational people. I've tried.
It's been great to hear and read information from people like the Scott Kozels, Ryan Ws, Mukades Freeway Jims. But this is balanced w/ absolute nutcases like Sherman Cahals, Charles Slaters, Rich Piehls, etc. who insist that one's contributions follow what they perceive as correct. Scott en Aztlán has been personally cyber-stalking me for months, uncovering information about my education and reference. All this because I wouldn't tape m camera to a dashboard. He later uses these finding to make unfounded personal attacks. Charles Slater has set up a blog completely to demean my personal character ( http://theexperience1.ottoyamamoto.net/index.php?cat=7 ). Sherman abused Wikipedia because by calling me a "spammer" and use vague criteria to back it up. These are people who are just f.cking lunatics. Screw them.
I won't change for them, nor will the site. At the same time, picture yourself in my situation and having people harangue you almost every other post you do. They find pseudonyms to carry out their personal motives. It gets downright creepy after awhile. It really affects psyche, and is not healthy. Thing is, those creeps enjoy doing it.
For those who have stuck around, and contribute to the 50,000+ hits per month, thank you! I'll be moving the remainder of the China and Japan photos to the RSS photo and video feeds of the Worldwide Highway Library:
http://worldwide-hwys.calrog.com/vwwh-rss.xml (Videos) http://worldwide-hwys.calrog.com/pwwh-rss.xml (Photos)
I understand part of my issue here is that I won't change my site based on input. This is a public venue, and feedback is public. When this turns into personal attacks that involve cyber-stalking and personally-defaming blogs, this is the vitaology I want no part of.
I do welcome feedback (postmaster at calrog dot com) at anytime. The creep filter is turned on, however.
Cheers,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2006-09-27_External _Link_Discrimination
The fact that you were using Wikipedia as a platform to spam your site, and using multiple aliases and IP addresses, only heightened the fact that you were there not to contribute, but to spam your web-site. You had several accounts blocked, which does not come to anyone's surprise.

Terminology arguments aside (you've seen a bit of my feedback at times), the site does provide a lot of choices for viewing. Some of the places you show in the photos most of us can only dream of budgeting $ and time to visit.
That said, I've also found the Slaters and Piehls helpful in getting my site off the ground with helpful tips and contributions. For example, a Piehl contribution (through a decent deal) has made my digital photography on the road much less a crapshoot than before. <duck> Good thing you can't view the Inbox for my e-mail provider...it would tempt you to move Mukade to the other list. ;)
I for one can't realistically expect you to change your site...the size of it alone would make make the suggested changes a major undertaking. I found your photo of I-70 in the Glenwood Canyon area with the term "elevation tier." Catchy!
BTW...the average Joe would consider anyone involved in our type of hobby (roads) a f***ing lunatic.

>> Hi All, >> >> Apparently, there have been too many pseudonyms attacking me recently. Now this is classic Cal-El.
He posts some of his innacurate inanities, a couple of new people slice him to ribbons on his mistakes, and in his "parallel perception" those posters MUST be his existing "enemies" using new pseudonyms. The fact that the group of people whom he irritates might actually be expanding is beyond the realm of possibility, I guess.
>> Scott en >> Aztlán has been personally cyber-stalking me for months, uncovering >> information about my education and reference. Your memory is faulty, Cal-El. It was another poster who discovered your hilarious quote while you were a summer intern attending Cal State East Bay. Also, it didn't take "months" to find out everything I know about you - only a few minutes with Google, WHOIS, and MySpace.
And WTF does "uncovering information about my [...] reference" mean? See what I mean about you being semi-literate?
>> All this because I wouldn't tape m camera to a dashboard. Um, no. It's because you're a semi-literate, arrogant, clueless jerk. There's something about your smug refusal to accept anything outside of your delusional little fantasy world that makes people want to knock you down a peg or two. And the weirdest part is, you seem to ENJOY it.

Luxury Yacht - 10 Sep 2007 03:37 GMT You asked for suggestions for improvement. But when offered everyone else was wrong. When out and out factual errors are pointed out you refuse to change them. Your use of the English language is questioable at best, but you refuse to change. People have asked you not to post to their newsgroups and you, haughtily, say you know better than they do. Even though you are only an occasional poster to their group and they are regulars. And you wonder why people ostracize you?
Perhaps you need to consider a viewpoint other than your own.

I told krl on many occasions not to refer to me as 'Charles'. My own *mother* doesn't even call me 'Charles'; nor does anyone else that I know, I told him that, but since he's krl rgrz and therefore *always* right, he can tell me what name I am to be callded by with no regard to my personal preferences.

>> Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >http://theexperience1.ottoyamamoto.net/ "Swan Song" my a.s! Cal-El has made other Drama Queen Exits from MTR in the past, most notably the one where he was going to abandon USENET and his web site so he could spend more time with his finacee'. He was back to both a few weeks later, leading to the theory that she wised up and kicked his sorry a.s to the curb, giving him lots of free time to work on his web site. I expect this "departure" will be equally brief. And, of course, he will continue to READ every post, because he's dying to know what we're saying about him. :)
Cal-El may be abandoning MTR and RAD for the moment, but what about misc.transport.rail.americas, a new newsgroup that he has expanded his SPAMming into (along with his "Worldwide Railway Library" page on his web site)? I guess he figures he can keep his site in the top 2,000,000 solely from hits by unsuspecting railfans who don't yet know what a k00k he is... :)

I've quit posting notices of site additions to MTR for the most part. I figure that anyone who is interested has already been subscribing to the feed that I provide from the journal ("blog" if you must) that is adjunct to the site. It is slightly more work for me, but it also means not cluttering up the newsgroup with announcements.

You all have been paying so much attention to Carl, neglecting those of us who put up sites back in the days of wood-burning servers. Sniff. Choke. Maybe I should start making up some terms. What would happen if I replaced each occurrence of the word "highway" with "tarantula"? Changed every third "e" to an "i"? Or better yet, ran the Missouri home page into Dutch and back:
Onthaal to the ways of Missouri, where you can examine one of the largest systems of the staatsweg in the United States! The dates of the system from Missouri up to 1922, additives and modifications since that time, vast with. To be possible come more concerning provisions gone, checks the interactive route unwieldly book! If you are aroused curiosity how the numbering system (type of) works, you can find a declaration here, also! There also are pictures of all concerning the state in a gallery of the side of the signs and faces of Missouri. And faces of California and other states check my galleries of the signs and the faces of the ways of the V.S., ookevenals signs. The system of Missouri is distinctive because it weigh a system of supplementaire from both numbered state ways and compound is. The supplementaire to weigh by letters on provincie-door-provincie a basis is designated, but they its province no ways. They are had and by the ministry of Missouri of transport maintained, the state ways numbered such as is. The route aa in here the shown province of jasper, is an example of supplementaire route. In this case, it happens to run at the same time as Missouri 249, which is in Missouri uncommon. [snip]
I guess I'd better not use that with the in-laws anytime soon.

While I appreciated the exposure, I came to the realization I was contributing to too many different sites and was having a hard time tracking which photos I had shared with which site. So, I decided to consolidate things a little bit.
Plus, with my new camera I intend to reshoot some of the older photos ensuring better quality.
