Nah, I don't really care for anything related to "conflict" myself.
In fact, I rather dislike those who constantly "pick fights" with me
when I'm just trying to do my 'thang (although I could be guilty of
being abrasive or not carefully tactful at times in e-mail and guilty
of causing it).
Give you an example ...
I'm new to photography. I have a Pentax K100D dSLR (bought it in
April). There is _no_shortage_ of people who come up to me and tell
me and say things like ...
"Why didn't you buy a Canon or Nikon?"
"I've never heard of Pentax"
"Pentax doesn't have in-lens image stabilization and motors"
"Pentax has so few digital lenses compared to Canon or Nikon"
Or Point'n Shoot users who say ...
"Why did you go dSLR, a 'bridge' camera is better?"
"I can get 3fps on my cheaper camera!"
"I have a lower aperature, your lenses are slow!"
"Pentax, nobody bought those except 1970 photo students"
Etc...
When I'm just out and trying to photograph things. Sigh.
