You have deliberately been avoiding answering the following question
for days on end.

Yet, in a letter to the press, you stated that I "couldn't" answer it.
I'm pleased to see that you have acknowledged that that was a lie.


Of course you couldn't for fear of contradicting your contemporaries.


So, how about answering it now?

Why should I?

Presumably for the same reason you couldn't before :-))

You're such a transparent fake .



Here it is:

What is the criterion for determining "native" birds in Scotland?


When I asked you before you referred to my question to SNH and the
Forestry Commission which referred specifically to the capercaillie
and wouldn't answer the question until I told you what they had said.

Which you have refused to do, which suggests that you don't like their
answer.


But why should that impact on you no matter what they say?



So either you don't know or you can't bring yourself to answer it in
case it doesn't fit with the answers of your contemporaries.

Which is not the same as your lie that I "couldn't" answer, is it? Nice
to see you've changed your tune, even if too late for you to withdraw
your lying letters. Of course I know.

So if you still can't cope with answering the question, let's take it
one step at a time.

Is the capercaillie a native species of Scotland?

That would do for starters.

A simple yes or no would do.

I believe you've asked SNH and FC this question. What did they say?

That's not an answer. I'm asking you the question here.

So never mind what others are saying.

You're a so-called "bird expert". Why won't you answer a simple
question?

First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
