Keenan, an addenum to my previous post,

I spent quite a bit of time, googling Keenan Wellar, and most all
results on 10 or more pages, seem to apply to you. You are a prolific
and proficient poster on a number of boards, with many interest and
activities. I am not sure how you find time to be involved in the nit
picking that has gone on this thread.

You are apparently well educated, and well above average intelligence.
So I am wondering still, if you are really interested in environmental
issues, and specifically what your suggestions and recommendations
would be?

I am just trying to get the thread back on topic, since I don't find
the name calling and nitpicking very enlightening, and I expect that
you have a lot more quality content that you could contribute.

I appreciated your trip reports on your web site, with some really
good pictures, maps, and colorful descriptions of your trips. Although
maybe I should attribute and give credit to Julie since most was from
her perspective. You also have a nonprofit business that provides a
very necessary community service. All this would indicate to me that
you are a sensitive and thoughtful person, so why all the bull
headedness that has been displayed on this thread.

Please understand, that I ask this question, from the standpoint that
I have not had the privilege of getting to know you over the last four
years of your posting to the RBP. Others may know you and be able to
read meaning into your comments, but I lack that insight.

You say that you are not anti-American, but anti-hate. But it seems
that your comments are hateful, and hate driven. Now from what I read
elsewhere about you, I would doubt that you would want that image to
stand, so can you please clarify.

Also, it appears that despite your denial, that you are indeed
anti-American.
Many of your comment are dispariging, and none that I could find,
friendly. This was curious to me as I am learning more about our
neighbors to the north, Canada. Again understand, that I would be the
first to acknowledge that I personally do not know much of anything
about you and your country, which is my own failing, and which through
this board, and this thread, have become painfully aware. I am seeking
a growing awareness, and apologize to you for any unfriendliness I may
have conveyed to you.

You also seem to have a great sensitivity to the plight of the Gender
Dysphoric, and I wondered if this is due to professional awareness, or
do you have personal contacts that you are defending and speaking for.
Could you also then answer, what your solutions would be in Canada,
and as you understand, what would work in USA. I personally have
contact with a number of individuals who though I don't agree with
their lifestyle choices, I find them to be rather agreeable, engaging,
and enjoyable to be around. Not nearly as hung up and strident as some
of the straights that I deal with, but again that is and individual
issue, for there is plenty of hate to go around on both sides of the
issue.

Briefly, also there seems to be some issues with religion,
Christianity, and Jesus. I realize, that this is quite personal, but I
would appreciate clarification here or in personal email if and as you
choose.

Now I only ask these questions, because these issues have come up in
this thread as you responded to them. Feel free to further address
them as you see fit, or direct my attention, to another sourse of
information, if you want me to more clearly understand where you are
coming from. I believe they are all environmental issues since they
have to do with the world in which we live, and how we care for the
world, and the people around us. If you would prefer to start another
thread, I would be open to that, and be watching for your response.
