Evenstar, It is too bad this thread deteriorated into a debate about the speed limit. That was not the intention of Winnilaker. You & I as well as many others participated & we are all to blame. Having said that, please don't paint me as argumenative when you have participated equally in this debate. Have you heard the saying "it takes two to tango".
I state my opinions just like YOU & everyone else on this forum & my opinions do not come across as gospel anymore than YOURS or anyone else. So please do not paint yourself as the innocent bystander who has been attacked.
Quabbin & Wachusett resevoirs in my opinion were not relevant(I have already stated why SEVERAL times so I won't repeat it) If you do not understand why then I can't help you. Its been clearly stated.
You keep saying you are stating facts. I listened to a host on an AM talk show this AM praise a guest host for having conviction for his opinions & then backing them up with factual, DOCUMENTED evidence. Not emotion, feelings, rumors & innuendo. This is what I see the speed limit supporters & WinnFABS using to support HB162, EMOTION, FEELINGS, RUMORS & INNUENDO. I do not see any factual, empirical, documented evidence on Lake Winnipesaukee to show that speed is a problem.
As far as your post stating you were only responding to a post directed at you, if you read your first post on this thread you were not responding to a post directed at YOU. Von Bongo did not direct the post to you, he was not putting down paddlers. You chose to enter the debate on your own.
I respect everyones right to have an opinion. But no I do not always accept everyones view. If you want people to just accept what you say without question that sounds like GOSPEL to me. Apparently you do not accept some of my views as well as others on this forum. Thats ok, your entitled but don't expect your views to go unchallenged.
P.S. You don't need to highlight my posts when responding. I know what I wrote.
