I read that on FB as well. Something of nothing to be honest, Mark said he thinks it puts anglers in a bad light and is a bit embarrassing, Leon didn't like that and called him out on it. Not seen if there has been anything else from that

What he actually posted was (and this is word for word including grammatical and spelling errors):
"Publicity at any price mate. Fat, middle aged carp anglers aren't rappers or hip. We go fishing and that's what the media should be not acting like an overgrown school kid off his nut on the latest sherbet."
This guy is in a high profile role at Shimano, and whatever you might think about the content of the video, it is completely wrong to post something like that, and he should know better. I think Leon Bartropp does a good job of explaining why in his video response.
Carp fishing is getting pathetic because everyone has an opinion on everything, everyone takes everything way too seriously and social media gives everyone the ability to let the contents of their head spill out into the public domain all too easily. If you don't like something, just move on and put your energy into something you do like. It's evident in this thread, in the bait threads, in the OMC threads, in pretty much every section of the forum; there's a vindictive streak running through so many of our fellow anglers and it's this that brings our hobby into disrepute. If everyone were a bit more tolerant and accepting of one another then you would see an incredible transformation; I'm not going to hold my breath though.

Personally think he's sounding a bit like an old fart . . .two carp anglers taking the p*ss out of today's yoof and having a laugh at the same time - I'm sure both Leon and Muzza don't believe they're in any way hip for an instant however they are probably subconsciously trying to appeal to the youth market and at the same time amuse those that are aware of such twaddle (I'm 51 and obvs down with the kids) . . .harmless bit of fun - does it affect anyone's fishing - no - so leave it and move on . . .

That isn't actually what he had a problem with was it, he said bullying isn't right in any form and should of called him fat. Basically said good thing he is alright and not someone who has mental health issue else that would effect him differently
