Sickening
An actual message received this morning. One of the more abusive messages that I have received (see the post about the GADNR turtle Ormanda for more examples).
In any case, I'm not exactly sure why this new poster sent the message. He obviously seems to be upset that sea turtle protection is putting a crimp in his beach driving, but why he chose to lash out at seaturtle.org is beyond me. From reading the news I assume he is talking about the specific situation in Flagler County Florida.
Judge denies bid for beach driving ban
Judge denies activists' request for injunction
There were more stories, but unfortunately most seem to have expired because of AP rules that they can only be displayed for two weeks...
This is not something that I know much about or that seaturtle.org is involved in. So again, not sure why we received the message. It also means I feel no particular compunction against reposting it here :)

You people make me sick . Are you really that stupid to think these
turtles are becoming extinct ? They eat them in the Caribbean. They are
not becoming extinct at all. For some reason they are coming to this area
less , probably a natural occurrence.
Your organization is simply using this as an excuse to stop driving on the
beach. This area would dry up without beach driving you dumb asses.
Guess what ? Beach driving will not stop for the simple reason that it
would discriminate against handicap people from accessing the beach like
everyone else....that is a Federally protected right.
Your poster girl Shirley Reynolds is a selfish bitch who does not even
reside here full time and who thinks she has more rights than everyone else.
You guys are nothing more than mislead fanatics protecting something that
does not need your help.
Go stick you head in the sand and find a turtle egg.
You suck !!!!!!!!!!!!
What's the take home message here?
First make sure you know what you are talking about and who you are talking to before you open your mouth.
Second, be polite!
