Sure there will be occasions when they need to be questioned or criticised, but it almost seems this guy wakes up one morning out of seven and thinks 'what complaint can I post about the RSPB today?'. On a friendly forum where most would seek to support the conservation bodies in the UK, is it really good the the forum is being used to continually nitpick and undermine the RSPB at every turn. They have enough opponents elsewhere.So, yes, perhaps the use of parasite wasn't my most diplomatic, I shall try to refrain, but on questions of appropriate or not, I personally don't really see it any less appropriate than the moans by this gentleman, especially given as he himself says he doesn't buy the optics from the online site anyhow. So, expressing to be 'very disappointed with the RSPB' about something of basically no consequence to him. He takes his trade elsewhere, why does he care? Just another thing to complain about it seems.</blockquote>
