As Anthony said, if you see a comment that is bad-mouthing you (or anyone else for that matter) then use the "report to moderator" function so we can see it and hopefully deal with it.

I'd like to know which members it is you are referring to that talk that way, then we can keep an eye on their behaviour and take action(s) if needed. Whoever is telling you this is false. From an admins perspective, Incandescent lamps are still a popular interest here. Unless you tell me this info I can't watch for this behaviour from these members.

I'm interested in the coloured xmas incandscents myself, Even though LED tech has come so far, no one seems to want to put a warm white LED inside a dipped glass lamp. The quality in the light and colour from this combo can't be beat by saturated LED lamps, though those certainly have their uses too.

Ria certainly knows who they are but I'm sure very little can be done as it's just the way they are, rude.
I have however been getting a lot of use out of the delete function.
Lately though it isn't enough.
I hate it when people constantly feel the need to talk macho trash.

I’ve had to deal with those types of people. I know what you mean. It eats away at your confidence. 

I’m very sorry that you feel like anyone would bully you here, because that should never happen on a lighting forum like this. All types of lighting collectors are welcome here, and all types of lighting photos and lamps are welcome here. Whether you collect incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, HIDs, even LED lamps, you’re still welcome. Even if you don’t collect lighting at all and just have an interest in it. People can have their own opinions on lighting, but don’t need to force them on anyone else. If anyone has been bullying or upsetting you here, you definitely need to let an admin know who they are. Those are my own views, anyway. If I have ever done anything to upset you, please let me know and I will resolve it.

What does that mean? All I see is a line of symbols...

Oh sorry, sometimes I don’t recognize the meaning of internet symbols....
Thanks!

You sure called that one right my friend! Then you understand my frustration.

As to everyone else thanks for your support!

Maybe something can be done about it but it's up to the admins and how much certain members push my temper.

@Ria: Since you know who they are maybe you could pass it along to Anthony and Patrick?

A certain someone might send a slap your way for this one!
But thanks for your support Bulbman256!

I've passed on what you've told me, what can be done is another thing, but fingers and all other extremities crossed

Who, me..? Slap somebody..? As if I would 

Ok then, if you insist

I usually leave a finger or two free for signalling

That's how Dad did it in the racecar.

Besides he certainly knew how to deal with these so-called tough guys around here!
