Don, the moderator's view is correct. Anyone who wants to do something
regarding Malheur has many venues in which to act. OBOL is our only venue for
idle chatter about birds.

“Refrain from political discussion”.
A crime has been committed. The guidelines do not prohibit discussion of
criminal behavior on National Wildlife Refuges.
Shutting off discussion is absolutely disgusting, and makes me happy that I
decided to have as little to do with OFO as possible decades ago.

Don,
I appreciate that you have thoughts and feelings about what is happening at
Malheur, as do I. OBOL is just not the place to engage in a discussion about
it, because not everyone is going to agree with you or me, and such a
discussion would - and indeed already has - get off track of our listserv's
mission and central reason for being. All are entitled to their opinions,
but OBOL is about birds.
OBOL guidelines state:
Postings should primarily be related to occurrences of wild birds in Oregon,
their identification, distribution, and natural history, and birding
experiences in the field in Oregon (or nearby parts of adjoining states).
Refrain from political postings. Discussions of issues directly affecting
bird habitat should be kept as nonpartisan as possible.

Is it off limits to discuss the criminal activity taking place on the refuge?

No more discussion about the political situation at Malheur, please.
Thank you.
