It makes for decent exchanges and provides me with a challenge - am I right or do I need to re-assess my stance? There may be occasions when I am forced to see an issue from a, previously, overlooked perspective - all positive and healthy from where I sit. Mindless/senseless slagging or downright rudeness is not conducive to this process and the reason why I made this post. Reading Mark's blog - it was obvious that he is becoming increasingly frustrated by the situation of having to constantly defend himself from this type of abuse. <br />He will happily tell you that writing is not his forte - his photos do his talking (very eloquently!)<br />So happy that you enjoy my ramblings and, please, feel free to offer whatever comments you see fit - I will never be offended by another opinion delivered in a structured format. Should our paths ever cross - I promise that I don't bite! Have a great Christmas - DylanDylan Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285181139467170047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-14547495536048854042014-12-23T16:01:18.818+00:002014-12-23T16:01:18.818+00:00Dylan - Thanks for the reply and yes you are right...Dylan - Thanks for the reply and yes you are right we have not met but i would not hesitate to introduce myself should that change. I of course appreciate all that you say and the total honesty and frankness. It will of course not stop me continuing to read you blog, which clearly I enjoy, and hopefully you will not object too much if I choose to leave you a comment !

I might have an evening session on the Lampern Wall - just to watch the harrier roost - in the New Year, Merry Christmas to you and your better half - DylDylan Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285181139467170047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-2607345208667086782014-12-22T14:59:05.775+00:002014-12-22T14:59:05.775+00:00Mike - I would think it very unlikely that we'...Mike - I would think it very unlikely that we've ever met? As this is "my" blog; I write what I feel and in the same manner as I would say it, should I be engaged in conversation. My use of expletives is not something of which I am ashamed - if it offends, then you are, of course, perfectly at liberty to make such observations. If my industrial background (and language) is something that renders me a lesser human being - I'll live with that also. I am perfectly happy with myself - I've never sold out, I've never attempted to be something that I am not. Therefore, my support for Mark is genuine and posted for all, who choose, to read. I cannot, and will not, worry about my choice of words when, in a world of free will, there is nothing compulsory about reading this stuff!<br />Many thanks for taking the time to post your comment and please feel free to introduce yourself should our paths ever cross - DylanDylan Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285181139467170047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-3369938049003413952014-12-22T12:40:48.085+00:002014-12-22T12:40:48.085+00:00Thanks for your kind words and support,merry Chris...Thanks for your kind words and support,merry Christmas to you,catch up in the new yearchiddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00660736275039988775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-78582527463412419712014-12-21T23:25:07.709+00:002014-12-21T23:25:07.709+00:00Very nicely said Dylan ( apart from one f word ? ...Very nicely said Dylan ( apart from one f word ? ) I know Mark and the work that he has put in deserves some support not mindless criticism.

Having been lucky enough to go out with Chidders Owling, I can confirm that he put the hours into this project and has a number of seriously good rewards for his efforts.
