My over protective mother always races for the light switch when she sees up beginning our turn toward the dock. Nothing gripes my dad more and I too get a little irritated. We try telling her that our night vision serves us way better than a few spotlights staring us down and blinding us but I guess until she does it a few times (that will never happen) she will keep doing it.
As far as the argument of private property, live free or die etc, you are exactly right. There is really no way to "prohibit" this sort of behavior. I think most of the folks on here are just expressing their wishes to keep the lake a relatively tranquil place, that doesn't glow into the sky. Those from the Philly Jersey area are well aware of the glow from Atlantic City that can be seen from Ocean City.
I certainly believe that the Bahre's (I assume that is the mansion being referenced) have a right to enjoy their property. An occasional party here or there is nothing to get worked up about. But if they are constantly lighting up their property like a stadium, I can see how that could become bothersome, albeit not illegal.
