Cheers for the concern but whilst there was a bit of biting going on and some people bizarrely trying to sexualise the whole topic I was coping fine. Anyway it kept me occupied between truckloads of concrete, 15hr shift tonight up at Lochmaddy doing my bit to ensure reliable and safe inter island transport, bit more than can be said for your Nicola and her ferries 🤪.  That’s her knocking up the income tax again which will apparently make us even more progressive 🤷‍♂️Wtf that means I do not know. 

Men in boilersuits?

 

That's a whole other fetish for some folks

You’d be doing well “ to ensure reliable inter island transport”, it’s never been worse, hope you built that pier/ link span in the correct orientation unlike Brodick. Shambles.

We just do the subsea but, the design and planning is way way above our pay grade, and yeah the services are certainly not in good order, one of ferries here is off again, over 34yrs old and below minimum thickness on the hull. It’s replacement is at Greenock, launched by queen Nicola years ago but still not finished.

Drysuits and Fladens up here. No doubt there’s a few arbtalk lippy wearing sex fiends who will get off on that too.

That individual whom identifies as god knows what was caught with drugs, constantly slates the country of its birth until it needs it to bale it out, they left servicemen whom have been in jail for far longer languishing for god knows how long so yes others are far more worthy of being exchanged as far as im concerned ( as others have stated the politics involved are a Biden play) Your little big man tizzy fit at the end ,and fake mock shock “wow” means zero to me bud, how you treat or refer to your daughter ie she/it or whatever is your business, I’ve no idea what her sexuality or your sons height are relevant too. In my eyes there are male and female nothing else in between. Me thinks you protest too loudly. 

Well a predictable response I suppose, "bud". No mention of why a straightforward gay women should be described in such terms. She, like my daughter,  doesnt seem to have any confusion as to her gender. She just fancies women. So what was all that he/she/it crap?  Maybe give that big manly head of yours a scratch and have a bit more of a think about it. 

 

"Fake mock shock wow" ? Why not wow? I genuinely don't  come across such cretinous nonsense very often these days. It wasn't shock, just an expression of my incredulity.

In short, crass rantings such as yours, on a public forum, tend to make me worry about my daughters safety as she becomes ever more independent. You kind of expect it from kids on the playground. But when grown ups start openly spewing such confused bile its hard not to react. 

"Little big man tizzy fit"...just more empty keyboard warrior bullshit isn't it?  You're good at that aren't you!

It's been mildy amusing reading the usual responses from your alpha male mates. It seems nothing much has changed since I would repeat stuff like that as a 13 year old. It's slightly disappointing that the mods have allowed what has been an interesting thread over the years, to degenerate to such a low level of debate. Where once was a largely good natured exchange of differing views, it now seems largely clogged up with you and one or two others endlessly flapping your jaws on your pet peeves. But I suppose clicks mean prizes. 

I'll amend my summary of you to "confused loudmouth prick"  for now shall I?

Do what you want for me bud but I can assure you there’s no confusion from my side. 

I’d just like to point out you came on here ranting not me , you brought your daughter and son into it not me, you started throwing insults around etc etc  not me. 

If you don’t like certain posts ignore them, that’s what happens online, there’s much I ignore or pass by. You’ve absolutely zero to worry about in regards your daughters safety from a normal hard working family man such as myself, so you can lay those unfounded, irrational, foolish and utterly pointless thoughts to bed and stop talking nonsense.  As for the said individual whom the post mentioned as I said to another on here they should read or research her comments and stance on the USA, the National anthem of her home nation, the abolition of the police, extreme violence being justified in regards BLM etc etc and the right to self identify as whatever. Me personally I’d rather they had released the incarcerated servicemen but that’s only my opinion. Take it or leave it. In regards your summing up at the end, you seem to fit the type of person remarkably well in regards what you claim to so dislike. If you are trying to bring things back up to a standard you seemingly miss then I’ll assist you by refraining from the pathetic name calling you seem to be very  fond of.

Well that response is at least a bit more considered . Obviously still doesn't address your apparent confusion over her gender status.  And how her political views have any bearing on that. But I see someone else has tried and failed to get you to explain that already. So I'll accept its not going to happen and stop wasting our time any further. 

Nice turn around on the pathetic name calling nonsense at the end there though, (you seem to of forgotten the "he/she oddball freak" utterance of yours that set this whole exchange off), good work.  Unfortunately it's not just me that has noticed a gradual change on this forum . Lots of noise in certain quarters but less  to engage people in the trade seemingly.

I know plenty of individuals involved in the arb/ forestry world that don't bother with it anymore for similar reasons.

 

Glad to hear that your at times aggressive gobby online tone, towards the sections of society that don't meet with your approval,  doesn't  transfer to real life outside of the Internet. And that in real life you're just a normal hard working  family man much like myself. (I'm sure there's a name for that phenomenon, but I'll refrain from uttering it, lest I fall into the name calling trap again!)

 

I too ignore a lot of what of I read online. Obviously I shall just have to try harder in future. 

On that note I shall bid you a civil  goodbye.

I see Trump is selling his own NFTs, when I saw the vid I thought it had to be a spoof or fake, but no, it’s real.

Let’s clear one thing up here you seem to be massively fixating on, that is the fact I have absolutely zero interest in or confusion over the so called “ gender status” of said individual or that of anyone else. What the post was originally about was the prisoner exchange etc etc. Ive watched several interviews in which the person concerned came over as a thoroughly unpleasant, extremely racist, argumentative entitled brat etc etc but that’s just my opinion as I’ve stated. As is the fact I think the servicemen was more worthy of release. There’s no turn around on the name calling, you had the chair right from the start on that one, Maybe it’s the daughter connection you raised  that caused the ott reaction etc,  but as I’ve already said your posts contain everything you claim to be against. We still currently( just)  live in a society where free speech is allowed, if it’s not to your liking, as I’ve said ignore it, or as is your right fire off posts as you did 🤷‍♂️The choice is yours, but the moral high ground is not.

You think not Eggs ?? I still think they released the wrong person, that’s my opinion. People can walk on by or comment I’ll not take offence or be outraged either way, like the preceding two plus years concerning a certain topic that drew a lot of flak at the time  I’m more than ok standing by my opinions.
