Unwittingly, I appear to have made a virtual hole in the virtual fence separating the free fire zone carefully created by C_Claycomb where non-indigenous species are free to discuss shooting (or indeed growing) stuff in their gardens from the pristine wilderness where others can discuss rewilding and other conservation issues in the UK.
Best fix the fence quickly and plant a double line of blackthorn which should help ensure a robust, long term barrier!
There's no issue with making posts and pointing things out, Chris is just doing as I've asked and that's to keep things on track and not let them wander off so much. If he's doing what I've asked then your sarcasm is actually, Unwittingly, directed at me.
This is just a general statement - Too often threads are getting taken away from other people by the intensity of posting from a few people, in this thread that happens to be sandman and Janne for the most part, I was reading away and the suddenly it turns all heavy and people are defending positions and there's little room to have a conversation any more because no one wants to keep up with the intensity of statement or posting quantity.
I'm not included in this thread and conversation but it does seem to have derailed a bit in a direction that doesn't contribute to the OP's intention.
So, please, everyone, be considerate, there's no need to be sarcastic with others, take the threads into places they don't need to go, be bolshy, challenge others just to prove a point and steamroll conversations or be defensive, which is how the thread comes across in many places over the last few pages...
Sometimes it's other people in other threads, it happens, but we should try to avoid it when it's obvious that it's not a discussion any more but just a bounce back and forth between a few people and all the original posters have bowed out of the conversation....That's quite telling.
Thanks all
