1. You don’t sound like a drone to me. There are others that certainly do.2. Fair use or not, Mr. Farago has claimed (or lied) that he contacts people to get permission before using content for his blog. He also shows obvious contempt for the gun-blogging community as a whole. I think he exposed both things quite well, as well as the arguments I’ve made in the “drones” post you discussed.Robert made that post because he wanted a reaction. Ignoring him would have been the best, but I would hope I did the next best.

Vikings wore clothes similar to those of people in England, Scotland and Wales at this time. Men wore tunics and trousers. Women wore long dresses, with a kind of long apron. Clothes were made from wool, linen and animal skins. Mostly people dressed to keep warm!.Viking houses were built of wood, stone or blocks of turf – depending on local materials. The houses were long box-shapes with sloping thatched or turf roofs. The walls were made of wattle (woven sticks, covered with mud to keep out the wind and rain). The floor of a Viking house was often dug below ground-level; perhaps this helped keep out draughts.Most houses had just one room for a family to share. Rich people’s farmhouses might have a small entrance hall, a large main room, a kitchen, a bedroom and a store room. In a Viking town, houses were crowded close together along narrow streetsMost people lived on farms. Farmers used iron tools, such as sickles and hoes. They grew oats, barley and wheat, and ground the grain to make flour, porridge and ale. Vikings grew vegetables such as onions, beans and cabbages. Their farm animals included pigs, sheep, goats, cattle, geese and chickens. They used manure from the animals to keep the soil fertile. In autumn, farmers killed some animals because there was not enough food to feed them all through winter
