Calling people leeches because you disagree with them is petty and childlike.
Wishing misfortune on communities where my family, friends, and myself make a living is over the line and uncalled for.
This behavior is unbecoming, and the exact opposite of the kind of example that should be set. Whining about loss of your boat ramp while folks are getting sick and passing away. Is both petty and childlike.
These communities are wishing misfortune on themselves by taking these unconstitutional actions. The can not legally close it for classes of individuals. Why what if they closed it for red bearded former sailors ... I suspect your tune would change.
Oh and by the way, the thread title is WRONG, they only closed it to non-residents who don't own property in Franklin County. I do own property.
I've been down every weekend other than last weekend. The merchants and restaurants all appreciate my business and they do not agree with these closures, so I'm not going to change by buying habits.
Now the private Lanark Boat Club is closing their ramp.
They all say this is due to hysterical females. Your posts remind me of them. You post up about continuing to fish and then think you have some stupid right to judge that others are upset that they aren't being allowed to. Time to walk the plank!
