@heymisterderp At the end of the day, i don't have to prove anything to you. The last thing i want is a bunch of hippies turning up in my home port, protesting and being disruptive. Fishing has been around long before you idiots and will continue to be here when we are all dead and buried. So get a life and stop preaching to people about how they should veiw things. And before you say anything, remember that i gave my opinion and because you disagree, you started this arguement.

[heymisterderp]

@sgtrummy Wide angle lens? Please! Any photo showing you on the deck with the water behind you will suffice. What a pathetic excuse to worm your way out of a very simple task of proving your fabulous claims made anonymously here. Appeal to something else. Like a dictionary or an encyclopedia which are actual authorities over us all worth appealing to. Good luck.

[heymisterderp]

@sgtrummy How is it obvious where I haven't set foot?

If you're 21 miles off the east coast of Scotland you're not in Scottish waters and that's exactly where the Japanese fishermen would be fishing you out of business. When it's your habitat that's being invaded you'll wear that shoe on the right foot so you can start to care about it. Also, being 21 miles off the coast of Scotland, you should get yourself a camera. Consider it your "crew"'s expense account.

[heymisterderp]

@sgtrummy The photo would show someone on a boat, not "claim" someone is on a boat. And so yes; that would suffice. It's not proof as proof goes, but it is evidence and I'll accept that low standard for it, just for you.

[sgtrummy]

@heymisterderp So you are telling me you want to have a photo of someone holding your username and claiming to be on a boat? Me doing that is no evidence at all. The only way you could tell i was on a boat is if you saw a wide angle shot of me, actually on a boat. And since i am 21 miles off the east coast of Scotland, i don't think you'll be getting that anytime soon. I am only more qualified then you because it is obvious you have never set foot on a boat for any length of time.

[sgtrummy]

@heymisterderp Why are you so desperate to see a photo of me? If i were to do what you ask, and send a photo. You would have my companies details, i.e my email, you would know which harbour i was based at and you would know the name of the boat i am on. Why on earth would i give you those details? And if i am no more qualified then you, why are you trying to prove me wrong? surly you think you are more qualified then me, in order to be right in your argument.

[heymisterderp]

@sgtrummy Ok so don't deny the fact that you claim to be an expert again. An expert is always the most qualified. Unfortunately everyone's a hero or expert on a Youtube video comments section so appealing to yourself is the lamest logical fallacy you can stoop to. That I'm even giving you a chance at proving yourself to send a photo to me via email is giving you a wider berth than you probably deserve. Conversely, if you have no expertise you're not more qualified than anyone.

[sgtrummy]

@heymisterderp Yes I meant qualified respectivly, as in out of you and me, and the other guy, I am the most qualified. I never claimed to be an expert, i merely said i was qualified to make an informed comment. And telling you the facts I have at my disposal i.e my business, is a way of confirming that i am the most qualified in this argument. At no point did i say i was an expert on this topic. Also, i find it hard to listen to a man who clearly has no respect for the lifeguard.
