No, I really was being serious!
Personally, I would think someone who fails to know how to use correct grammar, or where to place a comma or full stop is in little position to comment on somebody else's wit or intelligence.

No stupid i was being sarcastic not you. A lesson in grammar and punctuation is not required. Nor wit and intelligence. Note to diary, must remember to go back to school. Maybe you should have spent more time. In the countryside and less time playing with words.

Err, no you're alright cheers, I would rather have a basic grasp of the English language.
By the way, you appear to be now adding full stops everywhere - even when they're not needed!

I. Think. Its. All. In. The. Name. Moomin. Away. With. The. Fairies. Thank fully i spent my life learning about the countryside and not grammar punctuation and politics. Even foxes are grateful your an academic not a country dweller.

Mmm and what a lovely person it turned you into! Your previous few posts regarding chasing 'men in dresses' just made you look stupid tbh, and pretty aggressive in your attitude. Then of course, you tried to turn the tables and suggest that CPTrayes 'lowered the tone' by talking of transvestites! It was you that brought it up, CPtrayes was just responding!

My interpretation of this, Moomin, was a friendly bit of 'banter' between the two posters. Well, it made me smile anyway...
PS - I am a bit of a grammar Nazi myself, but I can assure you that wit has little to do with the ability to use correct spelling and grammar.

Oh at last someone with a sense of humour pity some people can't be tempted to lighten up and take themselves too seriously may be you were brought up in the countryside am i right.

Maybe if you could type correctly and learn to use the correct grammar then everybody would be able to interpret your meanings correctly.
It does make me laugh all this 'countryside' talk, do people in the 'countryside' not go to school?!

Actually, Vulpinator, I have to confess that I was born a Townie, and a council house Townie at that. But my father came from a family of Polish farmers, loved hunting and used to be a gamekeeper when he lived in Poland, so I suppose the rural blood was always in me.
I moved to a rural area and started to find out things for myself, and that was when all my years as an 'anti' came to an end. I may be a grammar Nazi, but I'm good at spotting banter and I enjoy indulging in such behaviour myself from time to time...

How very dare you just because you were born in a stable don't make you a horse. Punctuation, ha ha , sense of humour required. I hunt with people who were born in barns and manor houses some even both ha ha and we all have a sense of humour.
I can,t read and I cant punctuate but I can drive a tractor.

I am not worthy....seriously... can't even reverse my townie Rav4 down the lane to the passing place. I should surely be banished back to the council estate from whence I came, never again to drink the stirrup cup.

If a hunt did hunt illegally, not that any do, I'd suggest the entire field would be well aware of it, as would foot and car followers...

My experience is very limited. I've only ever been out with three packs. On two occasions, with two of those packs, the huntsman worked tirelessly to get hounds off the scent of live quarry (and succeeded). I was pretty impressed that they went to so much trouble to do this. One of the packs was very aware of the likelihood of being monitored and too absolutely no chances at all.

Why, oh why you change the subject?
I am much opposed to the methods used within the racing industry as I am killing animals for no reason. Yet racehorses have nothing to do with people going out and murdering animals.

Because we can! Sorry to disappoint you, but you don't own this forum, or even this thread. If it takes a different direction then fine, that's what happens in 'real' conversations.
Plus, I thought enough of us had made it clear that there is absolutely no point whatsoever entering into any further arguments about the original point. Nothing that any of us say will make the slightest difference. You use phrases like 'murdering animals' but apparently it's only murder if you don't eat the animal. So if I start to acquire a taste for fox pie, presumably that will make killing foxes OK? Actually, no, please don't answer that question. I really not interested as there has been so little sense in your other 'answers'.
May I suggest that you put your energy into tackling some of the truly appalling abuse of animals, including horses, that takes place and that so many of us are actively campaigning against? Putting so much energy into trying to stop the control of vermin is such a waste.

Oh come on, surely everyone knows the historic and maintained link between National Hunt racing and fox hunting?!

Well in racing, people take part in, watch, and enjoy an activity which may involve the death of an animal - but doesn't have to for them to have a good day. Sounds remarkably similar to hunting to me...

Hardly!
In the first case the death of the horse is not desired nor the objective of the activity.
In the second case it very much is.

What, that point to pointers have a few half-hearted half-days hacking about at the back of a hunt to get their card marked?
Hardly much of a link, and one which would be easily abandoned at the drop of a hat should all hunting become impossible or illegal for some reason.
It may be historic, but it's hardly strong enough to bring horse racing into the discussion of the ethics of fox hunting.

Were you out on a Saturday?
As a drag hunter, with two packs, our Huntsmen have little trouble getting the hounds back off a live scent. They certainly don't "work tirelessely" to do it.
I would suggest that the reason the packs you went with have more trouble is that other days, possibly midweek, the hounds are being encouraged to hunt live scent. So come Saturday, with more people who are not hunting die-hards out and with a great chance of monitoring, they still want to hunt live scent and the Huntsman has to "work tirelessly" to stop them. That's certainly how it works with one of the ones I know of.

Oh pull the other one! If you like, I'll PM you with the name of four.
And the followers are well aware of it, they talk to me about it.
