Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lappkrabben" data-source="post: 1584097" data-attributes="member: 67965">Howard, i see we have some differences in when to apologize to a guy in person and when not. I don not feel have stepping on any toes for writing that we are most probably talking different subspecies and that Erik might have studied wrong/different subspecies in Bharain.It's not that i can't apologize. But there is no reason for doing it to Erik in person, why should i do that? It was just a thought in general and my thoughts was also about that just because one is an authority in ID-skills does not mean that he/her is allways right.Maybe it's cultural or has something to do with you being Eriks friend. But for me i do not see any reason for a personal excuse to Erik. But that's my thoughts...I also wrote that i might be wrong in the LSP-camp. So why should i apologise for writing i'm not sure?So please do not cry out loud. It's a debate about birds! I thought the words that i now think the bird is a GSP would have been enough for Howard to know that the other posts are "expired". But yes, i withdraw the LSP-thoughts.And just a thought on how to write in debates, Howard; who are we in the sentence "so we can assume "? Is it everone who's reding this post? or you personally, or you or someother guy(s)? I would have appreciate if you wrote "so I can..." because it's your words and not "we".</blockquote>
