Focus on Metal Detecting: More Entitlement on Show


I have just received this: "Unknown has left a new comment on your post "UK Detectorist Spotted in a Field: Call to "Respon...".
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2333461/Raider-Lost-Vases-Archaeologist-jailed-15-months-stealing-17th-century-relics-selling-eBay.html".
Ummmm.... What? Its author must be a metal detectorist! Keep reading airhead. PACHI Thursday, 30 May 2013, 'Bath archaeological thief caught after Bellarmine vase spotted on eBay'. PACHI Friday, 30 August 2013, 'Focus on Metal Detecting: Can't use a Search Engine?'. Eight sentences, just your limit I guess

The rest of us: Anonymous Creepy Guy from Brighton, UK presumably was attempting to use a Two-wrongs-make-a-right argument. That was his only comment on the content of the video to which his remark was appended, and I think one can see that the upshot of it all is to demonstrate exactly the same attitude of entitlement as we see 'Mouthy Mick' exhibiting in the video. I've never met James Vessey, but I am sure there are many metal detectorists who'd love to shake his hand for giving them so much fun down the years and an alibi for much anti-social and anti-archaeological behaviour.

TAKE A GOOD LOOK at this behaviour, for these are precisely the sort of people the PAS wants to grab more and more millions of public quid to make into the "partners" of the British Museum, archaeological heritage professionals and to whom they want us all to entrust the exploitation of the archaeological record. Take a good look and decide what you think about that as a "policy". 


UPDATE 27th August 2014:
It is worth noting that Anonymous Creepy Guy from Brighton and Hove waltzed over here, read something he did not like, fired off a comment, and never once came back (as this blog's tracking software detected) to even see if his comment had been posted or discussed.  Obviously the intent of 'Anonymous' was merely to annoy, rather than contribute. This is another example of that happy-slapping nuisance posting typical of UK's tekkies. They are not a bit interested in debating the heritage, but have every interest in trying to disrupt and derail any such discussion by whatever cheap tactics they can think of employing.
