something beautiful and just has to kill it first and then make up
excuses for it afterwards.

I can see the logic for that. And I agree absolutely about not getting
out the insecticide at the first sight of something unknown around your
plants.

But what when something beautiful, but common and not native, is causing
the demise of something else beautiful and native, and maybe not so
common? Not talking specifics here, just principles.
