I understand the theory of Narcissism of Small Differences. I won't explain why that theory doesn't apply here, but I will continue to explain that the end of a pigeon's life in nature is usually more violent and full of suffering than the end of its life in the ring. That's where I stand on the subject. I don't think game birds normally die of old age in sleep.
I don't think the theory applies to our exchange. I was alluding to some of the intemperate posts I have seen here when someone stakes out a position. I never said gamebirds die of old age in their sleep. I also explained that I have no objection to pigeon shooting.
