What happened was Bipto made a statement about something that happened at Area X before he had the facts. That brought about what to me seemed to be a reasonable discussion on how the incident could or could not have happened. The only reason the discussion took the course it did was due to the bad information given by Bipto. If the discussion had been based on the actual field note information it would have been completely different. All Bipto had to do was make a post explaining his error and give the correct information about the tree break. Instead, he made a post insulting the forum and left in a huff. By doing so all he did was make things worse. He has handled this entire situation very poorly. Apparently other NAWAC members are handling it just as bad. It seems they also made things worse by telling Bipto who knows what was going on here, since Bipto said he didn't read what had happened in the thread and was going by what was told to him by others. All this because Bipto won't admit he was wrong. Some might say it is a sign of weakness by admitting you made a mistake. I would say it is the sign of being a man. So man up Bipto, apologize to everyone you have insulted and admit you caused all of this by posting incorrect information.

It's an arrogant and hypocritical mistake to think one can educate while offering nothing but anecdotes to do it. How long would you or bipto allow that from anyone else?
