As you have said

Working "Freelance" for 10 years? Nahhhh. Maybe on eBay or whatever, maybe. Honestly, after a decade in this business, who the \\ck still rails against pimps?
I suspect, given his writing style and sense of affront, he's some East Euro who went to school and/or college during that first post-Communist decade, did a further decade in IT, now he's made his way to the UK and expected the agents here to be as tightly regulated as they are back in Mother Russia/Poland or wherever.
I am totally agreeing with you mate, I might be from Eastern Europe perhaps I didn't even go to school or perhaps I am just like you born bread English and value the country I am living or perhaps I have been living in this GREAT COUNTRY for avery long time.
However by reading your COMMENTS that shows me and us all who's the most educated person. I think you are a type of man who has chip on his shoulders or perhaps you are a type of person who's a bully at work but that's not enough you would like to spread your wings want to do your bullying here too.
By the way if you don't like my threads just don't read them mate and be COOL .Comment

On the chance that you still care enough post-ban to read this, I agree that IT agents are largely scum. I suffered a lot at their hands when I first started in IT, and at the time, and I didn't have the shared knowledge this site existence gives. At least you had a place to air your grievances against agents.
However, for your own good, the fact that they are vermin is a fact which henceforth you had better learn to work around, not against, otherwise you will never succeed.
I daresay, when or if you are well-established, the chip on YOUR shoulder will be a very light one indeed.
Good luck.Comment
