Please be mindful that we here at CPF have members that share some very high end lights and such. It'd be a mistake to lump all of anybody in one pile.

I use fakebook selectively. Friends list is short and stays that way. Folks I stay in touch with who I'd prefer to see in person at times but live far far away lives. It's cool to see their lives sometimes in ways they'd never brag about.
True friends and not a collection of hundreds of lemming knuckleheads trying to outdo each other. Well, half are family so there is that. And the knucklehead lemming family members aint on my list either.
People I'd let in my home when I'm not there type folks, know what I mean?
Twitter, Instagram etc don't appeal to me. I don't even get the point of those.

I did no such thing. Our high end collectors here are generally also positive contributors to the community. I was trying to make that distinction.
If I thought that's what you had done, I would have sent you a pm. Please notice I didn't quote any post. Merely a reminder for all, including myself.

Agree CG, there are some cool dudes on FB for sure with some awesome gear. Some funny posts here and there to, I just prefer it here. Just can get a bit repetitive at times, then older stuff hard to track down.
Maybe what gets me is the layout, just don't find it enjoyable. Here just works so much better for me, each to their own though. Some are use to FB and nothing else, maybe forums feel old hat to some. Long live CPF I hope.

I take care of the HDS Systems, Inc FB page. I set it up so other people can't start posts. More of an educational FB page. I jump on the HDS EDC FB page as well. Otherwise, I mostly just hang out here on the HDS page. I rarely post in other threads anymore. My personal FB is my dog's diary and if I'm not related to you or are a good friend who I can call, I don't accept requests... but like I say, it's just my dog's diary... well, what I would imagine my dog would write... sort of like Longman and Shorty, but a dog. Run the Thor's Hammer FB page as well. With all of that, it takes enough of my time just to keep track of it all.

For 27 years, I have worked as a photojournalist national, and worldwide. I have agents in Beverly Hills, New York, Paris and Germany. In addition to my photo work, I give motivional talks on what it has been for me to work in H'Wood, DC, a large Fortune 100 photographer, and as a military contractor. I do these presentations to corporate meetings, and trade associations a key note speaker. I also do photo instructional seminars.
I just returned from a nation wide tour of events, and, yes I have a different agent for this work. My wife, being friends With a local high school principal, who then asked if I would put on a presentation to the school...well, of course I would, free of charge.
This is a huge school with 3000 students, and I did Three days in their large theater. I brought some of the most exotic equipment to date and gave them a run down what it is like to move with the president, celebrities, shoot major sporting events, be embedded with the military as a contractor.
Then with the first of six goups over three days, I asked them what they thought of FACEBOOK! The response from all of them was we hate Facebook, and only a hand full of them, 30 total in two days raised their hands in support of FB!!!
They hate it! Now these are not millinneal's who are Gen. Y, they are Gen Z, and they all hate Facebook. I was amazed, and, loved it as a Facebook hater I felt wonderful that they will not have the next generation of, at least the USA, the most coveted.
I quized each group with the large audiences I had and they all said basically the same thing...we don't want to be where grandma, mom and dad are. The shouted out a decentralized stream of sites I have never heard of.
Also, they knew of FB's crooked BS. Can't wait to see Zuckerberg be eight homeless compared to his 20.
So as I told my friends and colleagues years ago, generational change will get FB, look at how popular MySpace was, now no one really knows what it is.
So, good luck Zuck!

Now on to the Facebook flashlight page people. On a recent post in the McGiz. sub forum, they were all boasting about clips with skulls, dragons...stupid things like that. (GO check it)!
If You are 12 or younger, that junk is fine, however as an adult, for me to have a skull clipped to my pocket would be noticed, clearly by USSS, CEO's, publicists Executive VP's, and many high level people. They would not get it, and I could loose six figure projects because of something totally unconventional in the real world.
No serious high level people would understand a grown man with credentials with a skull, or worse, a dragon or Templar cross clipped to their pocket. Just DUMB in my opinion.
Frankly, it could be embarrassing, and frowned upon by people's employers, and they would not even be aware of it. If nothing else as stupid, could lead to no promotion for you, even in a low level position.
But, hey...good luck!
One fool replied he wanted to add a "little death" (On the McGizmo forum) to his light! First, I don't get the concept of adding death to a flashlight? Makes no sense. And this past week, I lost a USAF Master Sgt., who I was friends with for 30 years, and he helped give me the greatest honors of my life and with that made my business flourish beyond what I could ever imagine.
I lost a dear friend of mine, last year, and who was Sinatra's, dear friend, who made me Sinatra's photographer for the last years of his life. And a friend of my wife and mine is dying. Also, a friend from JHS in 1973, I have known for 45 years, has cancer, had a heart attack, then had his brother killed himself by blowing his head through the roof of his car with a shotgun. Safe to say I'm sick of death. Infact, my entire family is gone, Vietnam, old age early illisnesses.
So this Cat can take his death wish skull clip from FF FB and....you figure it out where he can go!!!!
I'll never go on FB!!

RL, I think your post comes off as both disparaging and pretentious.
Our own flashlights are our own flashlights: we should be free to decorate them as we so choose. While perception of the clips you mentioned may play a factor in the real world, the reality is that many people use the clips you have condemned. In other words, you are effectively putting those people beneath you.
The user you called a "fool" was simply being playful IMHO, hence the emoji. I dislike how the original topic of this thread has been equivocated; I don't normally speak up on matters like this but felt that something should be said.
