Hello, I'm Robin from Bath UK. I'm 41 and currently a mature student studying for a degree in psychology and english. I am and have been for a number of years, a passionate environmentalist.

I would also add that I have recently had to leave one other 'environment' forum, British-run, because of a number of a very vocal eco-sceptics on that forum, who, one in particular, seemed to use the site to insult, abuse and humiliate environmentalists just, apparently, for entertainment.

I have no objection to eloquent arguments criticizing for example, global warming, but I do have an objection to insults e.g. describing environmentalists as subversives, potential terrorists, delusionary, fascists etc

I just hope there is no one of that nature on this site.

Other than that, hello and best wishes to everyone

Robin, Bath, UK

Hi Robin, I think you'll find most of us are well behaved here , there are rules on WAB to stop things like you have experienced happening.
So enjoy the site and we will see you around, good luck with your studies .

Hi Robin, I'm sure you'll find most are well behaved. Some debates do get a little heated but we do have respect for others opinions.

Wow, thats a hearty welcome. Thanks everyone, I'm most touched. I'm working on my psychology essay at this precise moment, but I'll join in discussion in due course.

Thanks once again for your warm welcome
