Seems to be one of these post developing its own personality with a bunch of people arguing and eventually forgetting what they were originally arguing about.
Fact is this is a very busy forum. The quality of images being produced by our members are world class. Just under a year ago when I got back into imaging I was embarrassed to post any images. But the comments I got on ones I did and the drive I get viewing some of the amazing images push me to keep getting better. I love the comments both good and bad. 9 out of 10 times the constructive feedback is spot on and drives me to reprocess or get more data.
Given how busy the deep space forum is I can't read and comment on all of the posts. I do however do my best to comment on those who have taken the time to comment on mine. This is just good manners. if this means I am then part of a clique so be it. I also do tend to prioritise looking at the images of some of our better imagers because they set the standard for what I hope to achieve.
Occasionally I see certain post get a lot of ongoing commentary and I am not sure I see what the big deal is. But that's just personal taste. If I like something I say so. If I can offer advice for improvement I will. If neither of the above I won't say anything.
Let's hope this does not discourage people from posting their images.
Also if you want feedback. ask for it!
