The RSPB claim they benefit the Islay economy because their bird
reserve attracts thousands of visitors.

They also say of global warming that "cooking our planet will disrupt
and devastate all life" which must include all birds.

They claim to be a conservation organisation which cannot be true if
they're reserves are encouraging thousands to travel to Islay.

So which is it, Malcolm?

Are they lying about the benefit their reserves have to the Islay
economy or are they lying about being conservationists and
contributing to disruption and devastation of all birds?

They can't have it both ways.

If you have a question for the RSPB, I suggest you pose it to them.

I'm asking you Malcolm.

No, you aren't. You're making a statement that "they can't have it both
ways" and have based this statement on two alternatives both of which
accuse the RSPB of lying. If you have issues with the RSPB, address them
to that organisation.


Of course I'm asking you.

Do you not have an opinion on the matter? For the last few days you
have been asking me if bird reserves are good or bad so the question
above is very much related to that.

Questions you haven't answered.

Surely you can see the logic in what I'm saying.

"Angus" and "logic" together form an oxymoron.

Don't use words you don't know the meaning of.


You are an ex RSPB adviser and a resident on
Islay.

You usually have plenty to say. What's wrong now?

See above.


Yes. I can see you're stuck for an answer.

You aren't asking a question. You are making a statement backed up by
two alternative accusations of lying.

Nonsense. I am asking which one is a lie. They can't both be true.



What you are attempting to do is similar to:

Are you lying when you say you've stopped beating your wife, or are you
lying when you say you've stopped beating your children?


Rubbish because one is not connected to the other.

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