I have to disagree with a good chunk of what I have just read. For starters, "gratuitous bashing" - I wasn't even close! Come on Don, re-read it and you'll see for yourself. I was being fair and objective - and reasonable - and speaking from personal experience. How tight do you want to "police" this forum, to the point that anyones opionon that may be just the silghtest bit strong, you're going to toss?

Secondly, sure we all make mistakes. Growing up summering on this lake for the last 35 years you will be hard-pressed to find anyone that respects the lake, the people and all that it represents more than I do. I could sit here and spout off about my experiences with the MP, and say what you want, if I had one encounter on tape - Mr. MP would have been out of a job that day! Being about 30 at the time, I bit my tounge, took his crap for about 45 min. and parted ways. I contacted Mr. David Barrett over it all and he basically told me it was our word against the MP's and to hang it up and go home. Didn't even want to hear about it! Now, you tell me - professional organization, whatever! It went so far as to involve the management of the marina that the incident took place at, they backed me on the deal - and still nothing!

Skip, I don't know who you are or why you have your opionion as you do, but like mine it's not all-together right or wrong, it's just your opionion. I happen to like the small-town feel of the lakes region, and the people that live and / or own a second (or third) home up there are great! But I genuinely believe that the MP as a whole needs to be revamped, as it falls short in several areas. I am not misinformed, I am not ingnorant and I am sure not hiding behind anything. I don't go around "breaking the rules and then get caught and get all bent out of shape". I have refused to have good friends back up to my house to visit for tossing the slightest bit of trash overboard, I have no trouble "policing" myself and my company. To call what is there now professional and right, is just wrong.
