Thicken your skin and be fair with the courtesy criticisms.  I missed your 'Janus' rebuke elsewhere. I decided from the get-go here to not to add supportive 'link' effort forth on any given subject. Why?I haven't seen one mind changed in all of my reading here, and frankly there won't be one changed from either side of AGW or the purported demise of the polar bear. I don't care how much information I post. It IS all political--for everyone!I did read from a fella who flat out said he was a liberal progressive, but that he still maintained a healthy element of skepticism of all data from both sides. I liked his approach! He was quickly skewered for his open-mindedness.  Progressives need to fall lock-step...that is gospel. It is why when I addressed the obvious hypocrisies with leaders of the AGW movement, I was roundly attacked, those leaders given a pass.Watch...THAT WILL CONTINUE HERE.I have seen ad hominem comments here regarding religion, evolution and various other diversions put forth to besmirch those who have a differing 'traditional' opinion.  All in all, a waste of time with people for which I have very little regard.That said, I do enjoy this forum and the wealth of birder info I gather here.Beautiful Spring here in north Idaho, the blue birds have returned en mass, and a ghost gray gyrfalcon has been weaving the hills and mountains in front of my abode....quite the sight!</blockquote>
