    Poll - Do you agree or disagree with the AOS's recent decision to abandon the use of eponymous bird names?

    The silence is deafening, I'd say it's been brushed aside.

    Look on the bright side, you won't have to use Short-billed Gull.........................

    Poll - Do you agree or disagree with the AOS's recent decision to abandon the use of eponymous bird names?

    David Lindo expresses what many of us have said, that he never bothered to look at the the people behind the names, so, again, where is this 'barrier to inclusion', said to be created by eponyms? JvR also states how toxic this has been and that older birders have been generally side-lined...

    Not an English name though but It's one of my favourite names so wouldn't change it.

    Still tidying up my list and noted the preference for fairly recent split, Stayan's, over Taiwan Bulbul

    Pygmy has or will go the same way along with Oriental. Who is pushing this agenda on a global level, someone must be?

    Where is this? I've seen the ridiculous article on the BBC but nothing else until you mentioned it, perhaps your chance to shine and start a thread of your own?

    Poll - Do you agree or disagree with the AOS's recent decision to abandon the use of eponymous bird names?

    Many of the proponents of this move, continue to use the above statement, to support it, you need a different argument. The issue for most opponents, is the reason for the change, the shifty way it was pushed through and the way that BN4B et al, have taken it upon themslelves to moralise on our...

    To be straight, I have no issue with the discontinuation of the practice.

    I'm sure that's in the back of their minds, they're arrogant enough.

    Please explain the barrier that is supposedly removed in this exercise?

    Any organisation that uses gender pronouns in publicity materials, will immediately get my hackles up, society gone nuts and the sad thing is, it's contagious.

    And many of the changes are due to alignment with other authorities so nothing to do with Colonialism.

    Poll - Do you agree or disagree with the AOS's recent decision to abandon the use of eponymous bird names?

    The AOS case is patently faulty as eponyms pose no, tangible barrier to non whites, getting involved in birding as they insist they do. Their case, fails on its face. The arrogance of the AOS in insisting that they know better than the majority of birders, is breathtaking, utterly, morally...

    Paul, it would incure Lord Dennings wrath, Master of the Rolls as he then was (I think?), if this had been an exclusion clause, it would get a slap with the 'red hand rule' ;)

    Folks, I've just been cancelled, I posted a thread about policing the scientific lexicon and it was deleted, I copy it here. I expect to be banned again but those who want to contact me, have my email...
