All<br>

To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln<br>
<br>
You can please all the people some of the time, and some of the
people all the time, but you cannot please all the people all the
time.<br>
<br>
Sounds to me like there's going to be a lot of displeased people
along with a ton of people who don't really care for what ever
reason. So just how many people are going to be really pleased by
this exercise in inclusivity and respectfulness? At least until they
have to run out and buy new birding books.<br>

"These people are actively trying to "terraform" our birding
community in a way that is <b>inclusive and respectful to us all</b>.
They should be supported, not shot down. Otherwise things will
largely stay the same".<br>
