>"and other similar excesses"

You chose to ignore that. In doing so, interpreted my comment uncharitably.

>Why not just let the OP respond to my comment, if they think they should?

When did I stop the OP from commenting? What a bizarre thing to suggest.

>And what exactly do you think we have both achieved here, with all this back-and-forth about exactly how much animals or humans kill and why? We have just both wasted each other's time. You're happy with that?

No, I'm not. That's why I attempted to disengage.

It was you who started this particular chain off by being combative and rude (by your own admission). Then you refused to accept the basic principle around the idea of generalizations. It was you who has been combative and have failed to interpret other users' comments charitably. Both the OP's comments and mine.

Remember likening the OP's statement to a child who gets their understanding of the animal world from Disney movies? You did that right after you "apologized" to the OP for being rude. See the problem?
