If you are that annoyed over it: use the Report feature.

Personally; I happen to like abqstyle's pics

Default I love the Light Rail!

I just love taking photos of Phoenix! It's a great way to explore the city and to introduce it to newcomers. Plus, they give a visual reference to an outsider as to what the conversation is all about. I did post one photo twice so I am sorry if I annoyed anyone with that.

Here is a brand new photo, shot this afternoon. It has a mood not unlike an Edward Hopper painting and shows the stylish design of the 3rd & Washington station in downtown Phoenix. Again, I continue to be impressed with the cleanliness of the city. That tiny bit of what appears to be litter in this photo is actually a pigeon's feather. That pigeon was immediately arrested for littering by Sheriff Joe's Light Rail Posse, and awaits sentencing in an outdoor holding cell. He also faces a deportation hearing and his Metro Light Rail Pass was suspended for 15 days. ABQStyle

After thinking about it, I must apologize for that joke expressed in poor taste. In spite of the injustice, inequities and corruption that taints all human governance today, I must still show respect for the authority those institutions exercise. Not to do so would make me just another small-minded malcontent who looks only for the bad in others. I cannot lower myself by going down that road.

Oh don't be so sensitive, it was HILARIOUS!!! LOL, I got a good laugh! Yes it is a political joke but that's nothing to apologize for...imagine if we had to feel bad every time we disagreed with government decisions. Why vote, why have a democracy. You are fine! Keep those awesome pictures coming as well!

I don't get it, what is this supposed to be a picture of, the light rail stop? Do you just walk around and take random pictures?

Just because you own a nice camera does not make you a professional. You can use a $5,000 camera to take a picture of a piece of ****, but in the end, it's still a piece of ****.

LIGHT RAIL IS A DISASTER. Getting back on subject here, the rail is losing $10,000,000 a month. It is costing $10 for every person that gets on. The city forged ahead without listening what happened to other cities. The only profitable rail systems like Salt Lake City run from the airport to downtown and uses turnstiles, not this honor system we have. Now we have problems with security on weekends as teens ride free to Tempe and gangs get on and harass passengers.

Oh c'mon!!!!!!!! You don't have to apologize for a joke.

Most certainly you shouldn't have to bow down to these posters that make snide and dumb remarks about your pics.

I like your photos and I post quite a few here too - most of the ones I post here are just copied from the net but I have gotten lots of praises for just putting them here.

I figure that looking at awesome photos sure beats the $h!+ out of all these Debbie Downers that like to grumble about everything in sight!!!!!!
