    It's hard to believe in this modern world that people are still so narrow minded or that they find it acceptable to make such comments, it's a form of bullying and we all know that bullying has zero tolerance.
    Guess I was taught old school manners because I've always practiced if you can't find anything good or positive to say then don't say anything at all.
    As much as I loved your original living on a narrow boat and exploring the canals lifestyle i did wonder what living in Scotland on land would bring to the channel 🤔 well!?. I personally absolutely love the channel and it's content , the breathtaking scenery of Scotland and the continued informative information about whatever you are covering, together with the madness that I've come to love about Foxes Afloat 😂🤣😁 because it's your unique presentation skill and style together with your personalities that make the channel as unique as both of you.
    Thanks for letting us share your life's experiences as the Scotland adventure unfolds each week it's a privilege.
    Stay safe - stay happy and healthy but above all stay true to yourselves 💞🐕🐾🐔🐔

I do not agree with you on several things such as chocolate cake and dark beer (which does go good together) and avocados (they make me ill), but still. Guys , I am honored to watch your videos and know you two. Your humble TH-cam friend. Take care.

    I often wonder why people who are offended by content just don't move on and find something that doesn't offend them. No one is making you watch.
    I started watching because I have a young nephew with autism and was interested in Colin's journey. The photography and life on the canal hooked me. Your life together and the love you have for each other keeps me here. Know that you are loved by your true audience and more than happy to go on this Scotish adventure with you.

I love the way you talk about mental health and this is so helpful to many people. As far as those who call you or insult you I can only feel sorry for them, they must have very unhappy lives. Please keep up your good and informative videos as I would miss them very much. Love you both for being the kind persons you are. Gary xx

    In the UK, Free speech is a right. However, in the UK, you are also responsible for what you say. So you can say it, but you can be, as noted, not just sued arrested and charged too. There is no anonymity on the internet as far as the Police are concerned. They can trace you and once posted, after 24 hours, it is permanent as things like Wayback and screenshots mean it is never going to go away. Trolls by and large are people who failed in life and are compensating by hitting at targets that can't hit back. Good Luck to the Silver Foxes.

    Please accept my apologies for a second more reflective comment.
    Every parent reaches the stage where they think: "What if my child(ren) is/are gay?
    I concluded that I hoped my children formed a stable loving relationship and that it would matter not one jot whether it was straight, gay, bi, trans or any other combination. What matters is the quality of the relationship.
    Sean and Colin, you have a true loving relationship where you respect and support each other. What a wonderful thing.
    I suspect that the trolls don't have this. I mean where is the love and compassion?
    You do what you want to do. People don't own you because you are on TH-cam, they don't even know you!

  • @Adamwolfone

    First you two are a solid, decent and caring people and it shows. This was an important video for you to make because it highlights the troll problem. I have a political vlog and of course I expect to get those that disagree with my views that's to be expected. The problem is some people think if they disagree with your views or your lifestyle that gives them the right to abuse you. We all try to ignore these people at first but some just don't take the hint. I'm glad that you two called the Police, nasty trolls need to know there are consequences for their actions. Keep doing what you're doing boys because at the end of the day the only ones you need to please are yourselves. Big smooches to you two and Otis the wonder dog! 💕

    Colin and Shaun, you two are a delight, as well as being brave and resilient - both of you, in handling Colin's mental health. You do not 'go on' about it, you are just honest and open, and in being so are helping a lot of other people who are in the same boat. (No pun intended.) As for those sub-humans who have trolled you, specially about Shaun's lovely Dad, and Dillon too, there are no words bad enough to describe them. l can't think of anyone else who could have handled the whole dirty subject with as much level-headedness and humour as you. Bless you both, and as for 'loyalty' to your subscribers, you do not owe anything to anybody, you have already given us so much, as so many (including me) have said, it is Colin's mental health that matters.

    My belief is that if any two humans are crazy enough to devote their lives to each other, then they should go right ahead and do so and it's absolutely nobody else's business. I've never figured out why so many people who claim to hew to a religion of "love and light" neither possess nor understand either.

I like it both when you are on the canal and also I like it now that you are on land in Scotland. But I mainly watch you two because I enjoy your down to earth honest quirky attitudes and the way you live your lives. You two are great people and I enjoy watching your channel.

    Sorry. You're gay? I've been watching you since episode one and never knew! I just thought you helped out when they were busy! But because I'm not gay, and I don't want it ramming down my throat I shall be not watching this channel until next week. Naturally my subscription to the channel will remain as I want to see for myself how depraved it can become. So far it hasn't been, so to make sure I'm not disappointed in future, could you put that right asap. I'd advise anyone worrying about catching gay madness it's probably best to throw away your computer/tablet or phone and certainly never go anywhere near it again.
    Seriously, thank you for your output, please keep things coming, and please don't let these quaterwits bring either of you down. They are not worth a second of your thoughts. I see two friendly, loving funny people, every week, who bring jot and laughter to thousands. ❤👋
