This cynical collection of name calling and insults masquerading as journalism is wildly inappropriate for this publication, in my opinion.

I find myself - as a usually do - between the extremes on both sides and objectively questioning the wilder claims, and hypocritical actions of much of their leadership, but I have a very low tolerance for the kind of juvenile nonsense this "article" spews.

Anyone who has to stoop to this kind of finger pointing, insulting and name calling behavior clearly has nothing useful to bring to the discussion and should be dismissed out of hand.

An often overlooked consequence of this kind of keyboard pounding is that it drives away potential supporters of conservation and habitat work because it insults potential donors and contributors. But that's OK, I guess, because the angry person who wrote it feels better for crapping all over a group of people he doesn't know with infantile, broad brush accusations that anyone who lives in the real world understands are inaccurate.

A written apology from Hatch for publishing this would not be out of line either.
