So I guess I intimidate a lot of you

[Starjack]

As per the title.
I see I got banned from the thread last night, why was this I wonder, could it be that nobody could hold an intelligent argument without getting mardy.
As freedom of speech also been banned in the world, or is it just on here.
Let's take that thread as an example, I said I wouldn't employ a brand new guy who was over 50 and immediately got jumped on by , ironically everyone over 50.
But the big mistake you made was to prove my point for me, at No point did I say I wouldn't employ a full qualified time served 50 year old electrician, what I said was I wouldn't employ a 50 year old fast track one that last week was a florist or worked in a cafe.
The next mistake you all made was to jump on me about the baggage and fitness comment I made, if you were to open your eyes and read my comment again you would see I said that people over 50 COULD come with those issues, at No point did I say they WOULD.
So again you proved my point for me that people over 50 can be very set in their ways, you also were very quick to put the younger generation down when in fact it was you lot that behaved like kids.
I think people like me intimidate you, because i am young and successful and have a clear set of rules , it starts to make the older generation malfunction who then can't answer with an intelligent reply.
Take the comment I made to westward about having an ugly wife, it was clearly a joke and thankfully it was taken that way by him, yet some of of the less intelligent members no doubt took offence.
One thing that did interest me was the ratings I got, it actually turns out I got more positive than negative ones, I bet as well that the members that gave me positive ratings are the intelligent and successful members.

How some of you reply to this thread will either prove or disprove the opinion I have.
Let's see how long until I get either insulted or reported.

I found the post. You don't come across as arrogant or intimidating to me, more rude than anything else.
And why go on about having cars and six bedrooms - I don't get that kind of attitude...

I have a five bed does that count? Oh and a double garage all next to the golf course does that count?

As Bruce Forsyth would say good game,good game,so much better than last weeks,& now the prizes....

Hi Starjack, why don't you tell us a bit about yourself? Curious about the success you allude to in your tag.

Because another member asked me to expand on my success, I think multiple cars a large house and holiday home proves I have been quite successful.
Maybe read the whole thread before you comment.
Just saying

I have 4 children and 3 grandchildren (none of which are in prison).

What the hell is wrong with the people on here, if you have got that then yes be proud of it, you've obviously done well.
I'll tell you the biggest failing of this country is we are a nation of nay sayers and negative people.
We hate successful people and anyone who has done well for themselves and your comment has just proven that.

TBF the OP could've watched re-runs of Stars in their eyes and woke up yesterday and thought " Today Matthew I am going to be an electrican multi-million pound business owner" & next week dont be surprised if he is on the plumbing forums.
Congrats if you have achieved what you say you have but these are forums where in theory you can be anyone you want to be if you're in to that.

I think all of you need to get off your mountain & go for a nice downhill walk,I’ve just had poached eggs & toast..

Hope you don’t take the same attitude with your employees and keep a tight reign with your HR department in respect of age discrimination. Sounds like you have loads and loads of money to lose.
There’s a great book called ‘How to win friends and influence people’ . If you read that you’ll probably be able to employ 34 full time electricians, afford 2 six bed houses filled kids all at private school.
I suspect the only book you’ve read is ‘Fly Fishing’ by J R Hartley

I’ve just stumbled on this whole situation and I’m absolutely howling at the level of trolling StarJack has achieved!

Is it not abundantly clear to you all that he is absolutely trolling the arrse out of you all ??

Stop biting to him. NEVER feed a troll....jeeez

However, as an ex-forced guy with over 20yrs of military banter behind me, I can fully appreciate StarJacks level of commitment to trolling and even chuckle at the bites and responses

 

[Starjack]

Easy tiger, you're not that interesting that I've bothered to read everything you've committed to our scriptures. Wow, you've done very well, assuming you built that up from scratch without a helpful investment from someone else or your own savings. But money doesn't buy you love Starjack, are you happy?

See you've just put me down with your first line and yet I'm being accused of being rude.
Yes I have built it all up myself, and yes I am very happy.
All this pony about money doesn't make you happy is complete tosh,
Its always better to be sat in a traffic jam in a range rover than a fiesta
Its better to have a large lavish house than a one bed flat
Its better to have a fat bank account even if you don't particularly need to buy anything .
Money gives you choices and as long as you make the right choice you will be happy.

"Don't hate my success strive to match it" Your little saying.
So I match it as you suggest then you say;

We hate successful people and anyone who has done well for themselves and your comment has just proven that.

Make up your mind @Starjack
