The question has been asked in another thread, now blocked, is Ben's (self) promotion any different to that of any other posters...?

The question actually rankles my normally still waters.

The answer: YES!! very bloody different.

Benjikan gives very freely of his very obvious talent and skill to this forum. That is fact and beyond question, supported by a simple search.

Benjikan is also a site supporter, one whom is prepared to make a financial contribution to this wonderful site. This simple act does not give Ben, or anyone else who makes a simlar contribution, any more or less rights to expressing an opinion on pentaxforums.com....but it does show that he, along with many others is prepared to put his money where his mouth his.....unlike certain others who take a free ride.

To the point: Ben's links to his sites are informative, impartial, educational, and not actively promoted ( I have never seen Ben post a highlighted link....unlike someone else who says, see my blog....) and just a bloody good resource for anyone with any remote interest in PHOTOGRAPHY.

Disclaimer:
I do not know benjikan,
I have never met benjikan (and probably never will),
I am not related to benjikan,
I don't even like fashion photography, but I do recognise and appreciate skill & talent when I see it,

But I am pissed off that a great resource should be questioned in this manner, while a trouble maker with a history is given some sort of comfort.
Look at the facts people and do your homework.
