This includes the closing of roads in and out of the areas. So in effect they are trying to make sure that they are left alone! The only active conservation act, has been the reintroduction of some indigenous prey animals to the area.

By leaving alone he meant to not bother with the situation at all and that this thread was a waste of time. This I know by the way he answered Tenchu. If he meant "leave them alone" the way you've stated, then I wouldn't have had a problem.

I don't really care if you judge me. I'm more than capable of defending myself.
The fact is though that what seems arrogant to you is not arrogant at all.
I've had problems with people who are either a) ignorant on purpose or b) hypocritical. I've never outright attacked anyone for no reason. If you disagree with the reasons I argue with then that is your prerogative but from the fact alone that I respond based on reasoning should tell you that I don't mean to be arrogant and it is just the way you perceive things.
If someones opinion differs from my own, it is not a problem to me but what you seem to mistake for arrogance is just me tackling an issue the way I am used to tackling it. If someones opinion is based on ignorance and they let it be known on this forum, then it's an invitation for that opinion and what it is founded on, to be discussed, disputed and even ridiculed if the opinion is silly enough.

Now, I realize he was trying to be insulting, so I didn't expect a kind response. However, to criticize his lack of English skills, was just plain wrong. It was very bad form! |
I don't think you read the part where I said that he wasn't being insulting but misunderstanding what I had read. Even so, if someone told me to kill myself and meant it as an insult, why is my pointing out his lackof English even remotely a problem for u? I'm obviously going to reply back and what I said is quite a mild insult in response to what I was given.
That is IF he meant it as an insult, which I don't believe he did.
Like I said, if someone else had so blatantly mis-read my response, I would've said the same thing. Also, he probably isn't the best person to have as a witness (
) but Tenchu agrees with me.
It has nothing to do with not being able to understand English but a blatant lack of respect as a person, to try and understand what someone has written.

I'm not a believer of Evolution in that way. Therefore I think that no matter how average a person is, they can achieve a lot if they want. Be as strong as a Gorilla if they wanna be
Shame they got rid of the Evolution thread >.<
