As the blog owner, I do not see your email address. The person who talked about the subject with me did not speak to me under a false name. I do not see your problem with understanding such a simple issue when we are discussing Tekkie Tax Dodgers.

To post comments I have to submit my email address, no hiding there, it has my full name in it. Of course your friend would like to remain anonymous, he is making unsubstantiated, defamatory claims...that is of course if this "friend" is not imaginary? I too will leave that to the readers.Coldplayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02780288111716276786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-59933629919422871512018-12-03T18:57:33.070-08:002018-12-03T18:57:33.070-08:00An anonymous "coldplayer" thinks I shoul...An anonymous "coldplayer" thinks I should name my source. In the post it says "I think my friend would prefer to remain nameless, metal detectorists are a nasty revengeful lot". I leave it to readers to assess the issues raised by events of the type I mention.

" I was talking the other day to SOMEBODY, and this is what he told me" Whom did you talk to? A rally organiser? An attendee of said rallies? Some guy down the pub? How can this somebody be accepted as a reliable source of verifiable information? " The tax APPARENTLY NEVER gets collected" Show your evidence, the facts and figures. Or was this some thing you heard down the pub? "The fees paid to the farmer are usually cash in hand and its unclear whether tax is paid" Again, where is corroborative evidence? "A lot of the organisers are believed to be tax dodging" You know what I am going to ask for here, right? Proof?? "Each and every one of them can, and probably will, be monetised" Any evidence to back this up at all?? Or do you think you are covered by inserting the word probably? "culture-thieving creeps" I think we are getting the measure of you now. Intelligent, reasoned, analytical and balanced this article surely isn't. You would do far more good for your cause by writing something informative and constructive, rather than this fictional slanderous unimaginative nonsense.Coldplayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02780288111716276786noreply@blogger.com
