Default Hysteria over Ragwort

Secondly, you refer to it as a "nasty weed" and say "check
everywhere". That contains a STRONG implication that you want
people to ELIMINATE it from their gardens.

It wasn't a simple comment - you were asking people to take
action.

So what is wrong with that, it was a request.People dont have to do it
if they dont want to and I did not shout.

Well I for one will not be removing it from the (very small) area of my
garden where it grows.
Its a native plant and supports a lot of native species.
If you keep livestock then get rid of it by all means, but I don't see why
the average garden should pose any risk to you.
If you are worried about it seeding over your land then look no further than
the embankment of your nearest motorway!
