I'm not picking on you specifically Lateral, but there are a lot of comments that imply that someone deserves to be rewarded for doing what is obviously the right thing...
It's a bit like me saying "thanks for not ravaging my wife whilst I was out at work, you deserve a go on her later if you like?"
I decided not to rob a bank last week - I reckon I deserve someone giving me £100... PM me if you're up for it and I'll give you my paypal details
BeardyWierdy,
You're entitled to your opinion, however, I feel it, and your analogies somewhat misplaced.
VSS asked the land owner about shooting, and the land owner said yes he could, because even though he'd told someone else they could shoot, nothing had been signed. It's not unreasonable to assume the land owner favoured VSS, or he wouldn't have offered to let him shoot in preference to the other stalker !
In my humble opinion, VSS was EXTREMELY generous to back away, when the shooting had been OFFERED to him, without him offering an incentive, such as payment.
So yes, if the other stalker sees this, he should be flippin grateful it was VSS asking about the stalking, and not the vast majority of other stalkers, who would have just blown them out !
Personally, I would have see if there was a way for both parties to shoot.
