[Later edit: Ah... I see that this IS a snowmobiling forum. I didn't realize that - I clicked on it in the "All Today's Posts" and didn't notice that it was about snowmobiling - I clicked on it because of the title of the forum. I had no idea why the hostility was coming at me, but I see that you felt it was YOUR forum.]
However, I did learn that some snowmobilers do not seem to care about or respect anyone who is not one of their group...and the more I read of the attitude snowmobilers have, the gladder I am not to be one.
What I don't get is why you hate people who like nature so much? I don't know of anyone trying to sabotage snowmobiliers having their fun, but every time I've seen a post from someone (and now from me) about enjoying ourselves in the beauty and quiet of nature without snowmobilers, there is a hostile reaction.

Perhaps this would explain it. As someone has stated, you posted it in a Snowmobiling sub-forum.

Anyone got any suggestions for a place to go (old-fashioned) sledding where I won't run into skiers, dogsleds or snowmobiles?...i.e. - a quiet place without earsplitting noise to enjoy te simple joys of being out in nature?

For the record, most responsible snowmobilers have no problem whatsoever with sharing trails with non-motorized users. In fact, most trail systems have been built and are maintained by snowmobilers. In these cases, without snowmobilers, there would be no trails for you to be enjoying.
Now I am not suggesting that you should be thanking the snowmobilers. I am however suggesting that this is a two-way street that is traveled by both motorized and non-motorized users.
