Astanley 11,568 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I didn,t see the article , but I presume it was the usual anti rubbish , and I can understand why you got angry and messaged him ,but maybe if you wanted him to listen to your objections ,pointing out any inaccuracies and giving him a fair and balanced argument for hunting would have been a better way to go than an aggressive sounding messages with insults , just my own very humble opinion . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,121 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Well i think you done good mate its a " man in the street " type of comment ......i think sometimes this softly softly approach us English are so good at is what makes people take our kindness for weakness if your going to c**t someone off then do it from the heart sooner or later the average man in the streets voice will get heard........these days if you want to make your point you cant just gently tap someone on the shoulder anymore you,ve got to full out smash them round the back of the head then you,ll know you have their attention...................it should never have got like that but its where we,re at as a nation in my opinion so good on you Edited July 15, 2015 by gnasher16 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hydropotesinermis 724 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I didn't see the article and i am no writer but something like this. "...In response to Mr Perry's article dated ........ I was shocked and offended by the utter and astounding lack of knowledge presented by the above, the publication of which is an insult to the reader and you sir should be ashamed for printing an article based on nonsense and conjecture. (you would have to reference parts of the article somewhere here and say what was wrong and why.)as a patron of the rag you deem fit to call a "newspaper" I demand that the opportunity be given to a representative from the CLA or other such organisation to bring balance to Mr Perry's work of fiction that painted a dim light of an activity that has been the livelihood and way of life for many people for hundreds of years. You c**t..." 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its almost a case of 3 steps forward 1 step back Stan......from a scrappy little kid ive tried to calm down and reason with folk the older i get................yet im starting to realise over the years you can actually get more done with force than reason ...............but no you are right i know that..... i guess we all get a bit " pissed off " at times and need to vent our spleen from time to time i wouldnt hold it against the chap. I like you Stan you are a steady hand on the shoulder,are you old enough to be a father figure by any chance ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jacknife 2,005 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 The antis won by shouting and swearing Pro hunting lost by using a more calm approach Look at the recent interview with curly most people will only remember him from the interview The other person and his view is forgotten If you want to keep something you need to fight aggressively for it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
