I honestly can't see anywhere where birdguy ever came close to what you say here:
"Sorry, I don't entirely agree. birder was incorrect on 75% of what he/she claimed, I came back and commented on it, then another member actually did more work and basically proved what I was writing. When birder espoused the shittypants wind farm 'massive killing of birds' nonsense that's when I responded. "
I think this is the post you first responded to:
Most birds migrate at night and the structures are not lighted. Hawks migrate during the day as they use lift from the air movement or heated areas to climb but nearly all the passerines (smaller birds) are commonly night time flyers. I some times will listen in my driveway after dark and hear call notes of various species as they go by. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=170264850
He didn't even suggest how many of the birds flying at night were killed. he just offered quiet information as he knew it. Nothing more.
I agree he needn't have blamed the whole board, that's why i responded to him. That however has nothing at all to do with your having a go at him for something he didn't do.
To me he obviously was just a quiet, decent guy who told us what his birding was when i asked him. When he was attacked unfairly, as i felt too he was, am guessing he probably just felt .. uh, ok .. why bother with the board.
I have to have something to eat and clean up before going to see a knee guy, so am gonna drop this for now - maybe totally - by just saying i felt he got hints of aggression where none was warranted.
No big deal. It's just obvious, at this point, we disagree on the reception he received.
