Wait, what? Since when was appreciating the aesthetics of nature bad? Since when was living in a cabin in the woods a nature-destroying venture? How did you conclude his motivations were solely narcissistic? Yes, he's living out there just so he can mention it in blog posts...

This sort of extreme snap judgement just comes across as envy.

No, disgust. I'm exposing the truth and advocating for wildlife. I'm allowed to do that. It's my planet too.

Then give up whatever device you are typing on, and never set foot again in whatever structure you are typing from. Surely you know that your activities have destroyed at least as much nature as whatever you're criticizing.

What truth? You've asserted, in the form of a question, that OP was involved in the destruction of redwoods. You then make a statement that assumes an answer to the question you just posed.

Sounds like jealous to me!
