Incredulous. Critical. Sarcastic. That's been the tone
of my response to you, and I used it to express my
utter outrage at what you are proposing. Sorry to hear
you could'nt take it.

I don't pretend to understand everything. But I know
that enough screw-ups have been made by people
claiming to "understand" how ecosystems work, so why
should I expect you or any other person to be
different? Anyone who thinks they can go in and
successfully "restore" an ecosystem to its original
state and/or reintroduce species that have gone
extinct in that location is flattering themselves.

I am so grateful that you'd acknowledge my one and
only contribution to conservation. Very considerate
and insightful of you.
And no one is stopping you from doing your part. I
just don't like what you have in mind, and I'm voicing
my objections to it, y'know, what you call "sitting
back and sniping."
