After a heated exchange in
this thread I withdrew from the debate to prevent a flame war. After being away last week, I logged in yesterday to find Roger (Cornwallbadgers) had taken upon himself to try and discredit me by posting a link to a pro hunting forum that I also frequent (also knowing full well that the majority here will oppose hunting and therefore turn against me) simply because I don't subscribe to his point of view and he seems to have me guilty by association
. I have nothing to hide, yes I am pro hunting and yes I also subscribe to a pro hunting forum. I don't hide behind a pseudonym, my forum name is my real name, the pic in my avatar is a pic of me and I'm not ashamed of my support for hunting, though my main hunting is rat hunting and that is why I subscribe to a hunting forum.
Though it may seem a paradox that I can be both pro hunting and a lover of wildlife, that is what I am. I can enjoy a day out taking in the wildlife around me and I also can enjoy a days ratting or
Rabbit shooting or hunting.
Roger please feel free to educate me, but don't simply attack me and try and throw mud in the hope some will stick, simply because I don't subscribe to your particular opinion. As an aside the original thread has some interesting reading now, comments of which I am taking on board.
To quote StuDH "Remember, that we usually only learn from those people that disagree with us."
I have posted this here to keep it out of the original thread and so as not to detract from the original topic.
