Great for the shooting fraternity, the only thing I agree with Sparkie is that guy is a knob, have you seen his video's shooting a 243 long range at rabbit and pigeon, I will let you judge. Fister you must of come across Jonny in the journalist world, what you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPARKIE Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 The thing that winds me up about him is he joins every page and tries posting his drivvle.... You cannot get away from him or his advertisements. It's like he's trying to make himself well known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Just checked him out, I'm really surprised he's shooting rabbits at all. ;-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickS Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Why do people get so worked up when others have views that do no agree with theirs? Calling someone all sorts just because they happen to disagree with you on hunting, politics or anything else makes me wonder if they are mature enough to be allowed an internet connection.

Never, it's not like he advertises where he's from or when he's away shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1nut Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 They removed the cabinets then opened them at leisure. He than had the front to criticise the integeraty of the cabinets!! The usual keyboard warriors chimed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) I can't stand poi . Sparkle your on his pages anyway He's total anti bait Those teeth lol I'm surprised he has a ticket still . I questioned him on shooting pigeons at 400 yards and posting it on his channel. He said its pest control I think it's walking on thin ice personally . I know this is just my opinion Edited December 27, 2016 by team tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling someone all sorts just because they happen to disagree with you on hunting, politics or anything else makes me wonder if they are mature enough to be allowed an internet connection.Bob on.. I have had to block a couple of people on facebook and de friend one. The 2 blocked were because of the Scottich referendum where they were just filling up my timeline with constant reposts of the pros and cons with inflammatary comments added. I just got bored with it and was missing other posts. The de friended one posts a lot of basically racist posts apparrently posted as banter but the frequency and the little add on comment were painting a bigger picture. Another friend of ours commented that he was clutching at straws (quote:- I think that your clutching at straws with that one ##### ) with the latest example he was using to support his view. In reply he got a proper rant back which left no doubt on how he felt about Muslims and what he though of people who had any objection to his view. Which apart from being dissapointed in him as I thought he quite diversity minded due to the places and travelling we did when younger. I have friends from all over the world and people I work with who I would hate to think or beilieve that I could be associated with such views. Due to my job I'm also fully aware.. and so should others be that Employers and prospective clients etc read your posts and profiles etc as part of the hiring and vetting process and do reject applications, sign contracts etc and employers have discaplined people on the back of it.

NickS Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 I don't mean that you don't unfriend or stop following someone who holds obnoxious views, it is the ranting I don't get. To go off on one over a single post does seem a bit silly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welsh1 Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Why giggle? I work for a company who love social media, yet do not have Facebook or Twitter. If watching cat videos or seeing that your mates pn the bus is how you spend you free 5 minutes thats cool. I just dont see any point to it. As for keeping in touch with mates or family. Emails? Phone calls? Always possible outside the world of facebook. If you want to watch cat videos surely the best place for that is you tube. It does make me laugh though as face book is for social commentary and putting your thoughts out there.A bit like this forum actually. True you can put a picture on facebook,oh hang on a bit like this place really. But then you can buy and sell things on facebook,whaaaat this place has a sales forum. Ah but i can block people on facebook,what do you mean you are now going to block me on here. It's all just a way of communicating,i put up pictures i have taken,or just talk rubbish(a bit like on here )and have managed to find lots of Army mates cast to the 4 winds and relived the good old times, and have a big drinking fest in a field once a year,700 Sappers turned up this year thanks to the power of facebook. If you work for a company who love social media and they are not on facebook,instagram and twitter as just the basics then your media dept needs sacking.

panoma1 Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Why do people get so worked up when others have views that do no agree with theirs? Calling someone all sorts just because they happen to disagree with you on hunting, politics or anything else makes me wonder if they are mature enough to be allowed an internet connection. When you read the comments of ignorant people who clearly have formed their opinion based on what they read in a biased media, have been told (usually by prominent people/organisations with an agenda) and/or on emotion, rather than knowledge, fact and experience, it makes you wonder whether they should be allowed to express opinion at all?
