In addition, where did you come up with this descriptive language, "wimpy bullshit?" Mr. Hodges my original message was only to give the concerned parties an idea of why the USFWS might be dragging their feet with "designating critical habitat" for the spotted owl. People drag their feet for a reason. As a closing remark, in my original message, I discussed the need for moderation and comming together to solve endangered species problems. Environmental extremest cause more damage than aid in the cause; much like the ultra conservative "women should stay in the home" type that creates a stereotype that is sometimes placed on all conservatives. Your response was an outright personal attack without reason. I would hope that we could maintain a level of intelligence on this net and not resort to name calling like little boys and girls (i.e. as you said, "whimpy bullshit"). Mr. Hodge, if you would like to engauge in a discussion about your emotional feelings please feel free to e-mail me. But, please keep your childish name-calling attacks off of the net. This sort of thing is why people unsubscribe. Netters are hear to discuss, debate, and inform... not ATTACK.
