WOW, I am a strong supporter of folks being able to voice their opinions, but dragging quotes out of context seems out of line.
As someone who boats and rafts with my young children I do not like rowdy crowds, loud music, and have suffered a seriously cut foot from a broken glass bottle left behind by an inconsiderate/irresponsible boater. But I will not support no rafting zones!
I enjoy seeing well behaved people sharing the lake and enjoying themselves, its why I come to Winnipesaukee and don’t go to the quieter and more secluded lakes.
I strongly encourage you to voice your opinion, but starting out on a new thread with quotes from old and unrelated threads is not going to accomplish anything but to alienate other posters,,,
