Obviously, you don't understand what edge effects are. It's a very specific term.

Thank you so much for reinforcing the point I have been stressing for the past week. I have repeatedly stated that individuals like you are not qualified to apply a political ideology to real world problems because you can't take your nose out of your political ideology book and learn about processes external to political ideologies. But please don't be insulted by this revelation.

Edge effects are not part of a political ideology. They're part of ecosystems, which is a subject learned by studying ecology and biology.

Actually, I do know what edge effects are. It's not a complicated concept at all. I'm not sure why you're pretending like it's something that requires a degree in biology to understand. You also don't know what books I've read so I'm not sure why you're acting like you do. I guess it just makes it easier for you to pretend that your opponents are ignorant so you don't have to actually face the fact that you're wrong. You very close to being on my ignore list if you keep addressing me personally instead of the arguments. Besides, if you think a highly educated individual like myself is incapable of applying political ideologies to the real world, you're just making my case for me. The average person isn't college educated so is even less fit to make those decisions. That's why we need libertarianism, so we only need the average person to understand basic property rights and non-aggression.

Your condescension aside, my point stands. Unless I'm crossing your borders, you've got no right to complain. It doesn't matter if the usage of my land changes the wildlife on your land. Try attacking the argument head-on if you can. I'm pretty sure you can't which is why you're being so "herp derp, edge effects is complicated stuff!" Hah.

Actually in liber topia people will need to know far, far more than they do now. This has been evidenced in every thread in this section every time you've retorted with "well they should have known better" or "they should have been more informed."
