Ha... no. So far as I understand it, I don't think snottyotter had an especial opinion either way, let alone a contrary one to mine. He simply said "No idea about the kicking out bollocks"... Now he does have an idea.
I wouldn't go so far as to call it my attempt at a joke, more a light hearted pointer in the direction of the facts. In fact, I thought the "Fat Woman's" point (WRT kicking out) was so obviously tosh that it didn't even occur to me that anyone would take me seriously. Personally, I think (badger) ecology is fascinating, and I find the quote I added interesting along with the fact that more recent papers suggest there may be links between rising mean temperatures, increased activity and RTAs. If noone else agrees then I guess the Fail thread is the appropriate place for it.
