Yes....Don does indeed "own" this website.
Lock, stock and constitutionally protected barrell!
What do some of you not understand?
This site is the intellectual and constitututionally protected property of one person, and one person only....Don.
Any person that posts here, regardless of Don's carefully worded rules, does so at the whim, will and fancy of Don.
No one has a right or even a privilege to be here but Don.
The vast majority of the regular posters here understand that, and have voted with their feet when it come to some of these controversial and repetitive threads.
That a handful of you still don't understand Don's rights and his mission here would be laughable, if you didn't repeat your ignorance on the subject over and over and over and over!
Don has to be doing something right. He is approaching his second decade of existence here. I have seen a number of individuals attempt to copy Don's success, only to wither and fade within a matter of months.
I've had the privilege to be his guest for almost a decade now. I have gotten to understand the method of his madness during that time, and feel safe to say few love the Lakes region as much as Don, very few have sacrificed the time & money to promote it as Don does, and very few families have allowed their loved ones to spend so much time away from family to allow far away families the ability to visit the Lake electronically any time of the day or night.
Quite frankly I find some of the comments and allegations made against Don here, and in the other thread, dispicable.
This website is filled with so many helpful, interesting and just plain nice folk. But boy does it have a few jerks wedged in the crevices!
That some of you can't tell what column you fall in to is oh sooooo sad....
Once again, sorry Don....I won't post in these two foolish threads again.
