What I said was not because he was German but because he totally misunderstood what I was writing. I would've said the same thing to anyone else in the same situation.
Hope that clears it up for you.

I said earlier, "I'm not so proud, that I would never admit if I response was misplaced." I stand by this statement. I did go back and re-read the entire thread, and yes there was something there that I did not catch before. It appears that I am guilty of assuming, like yourself, that his response was based on his misunderstanding of English. It is now obvious to me that he knew very well what was said, and what he was saying in response. He purposely twisted your words, into that suggestion that you kill yourself. This should be of no surprise, given your rather adversarial nature.

As far as him derailing the thread, perhaps you too should re-read the thread. He and Tenchu were very much on topic, until your first post where you called his statement stupid and called him an ass. I hardly see how the suggestion that people need to leave the leopards alone, as being off topic. Especially given the fact that people were the cause of their situation.

Now personally I don't agree with that idea. With so few remaining animals left, it would be hard for any species to make a come back. This is even made more true by the now fragmented forests, caused by the clear cutting of their natural habitat. So our intervention may indeed be necessary for thier continued survival.
