    With the greatest respect to you, I am simply stating an opinion in response to a comment from you. I will not be bullied. If you look back over the debate initiated by the thread I started, you will see that far more robust criticism has been dished out those for and against hunting etc.

    I have read the most appalling insulting comments...I mean really personalised stuff in which real people have been named and defamed...on Boards.ie and yet the posters responsible have not been censured.

    I suggest you need to be more conistent in your moderatation and that you refrain from banning or restricting people whose views you happen to dislike.

    Did you report the posts in question?

    I suggest that you take some time away from this forum - let's say 3 days - to study these particular elements of the charter:

    I've never known rats to be top choice for foxes, and certainly never known foxes to be instrumental in keeping the rat population down.

    I suggest a bit of research then, try James Fairley's book of Irish Wild Mammals for a start. I would tend to believe people who have analysed the contents of droppings, rather than anecdotes.

    If James Farley's book suggests that rats are the top choice for foxes, I'll eat my hat, and if you have a reference from his book you want to give showing that rats are "...top choice for foxes" and are "instrumental in keeping the rat population down", feel free to give it. Suggesting someone goes away and reads a book is not really debate.

    Stag hunting is extremely cruel. Anyone that condones it are not right in the head. It is barbaric. The people that carry it out should get treatment.
