What is your question here?
If you are asking if I had the right to express an opinion or the people wh=
o
objected to me expressing my opinion? It was me who was told not to have an
opinion here! Is that democracy?

You see, I was told NOT to express my opinion on the naturerecordist
listserve by certain people who believed that drilling in the refuge was ok
by them because we need oil. What I don't and didn't understand was why
would someone on this group who cares about the environment to record
natural soundscapes bother being in the group!
Take your mic and recorder into the field and tell me how long it takes to
record say 1 hour of unpolluted natural sounds.

Yes we live in a democracy thank God or whoever you thank these days :)
But listserves are made up of rules that the moderator sets (not me) so we
have to abide by those rules, otherwise we have our privileges rescinded. M=
e
included......

Aren't people in a democracy allowed to express their opinions then?
