[Tweeters] Inclusion in Birding

[Roger Craik via Tweeters]

All

To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln

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.

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.

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