. In fact, I suspect that most members of this forum would consider the debate about the appropriateness of the closure rule to be anything but petty!
Come on Saxe..shake yourself and read my post!
I said
"So I say, lets stop the petty debate over who might be a few yards over a tough to determine line!
AND PLEASE REMEMBER... THE CLOSURE IS NOT A SALMON CONSERVATION CLOSURE, IT'S CLOSED TO ALLOW THE ORCA'S AN UNDISTURBED FEEDING AREA. "
And if you reread my post, you will see what I said about the
"Appropriateness of the closure" and the 99.9% compliance of Sport Fishers.
This whole debate has gone from ridiculous to insane!!
Just like the closure...insane...
Tell me, is DFO actually using their recognizance to record what is important....
How often, what days and what times, are the Orca's within a half mile of the shore, where we like to fish, in the closed area???
I am done with the stupidity of this debate, just like other informed members of this forum.[/QUOTE]
I read your post and understood it too. Unfortunately, while you might have read mine, you clearly did not understand any of it, or indeed any of my previous posts, and especially the one about keeping the issues analytically separate. Clear thinking and precise use of language are more important than the use of capital letters and bold font. You have used the latter; try the former.
The main point of this thread is that that the line is easy to discern, but you claim otherwise without explaining why.
The other related point that has been discussed, which you clearly don't understand, is that the closure might be (as you feel) entirely misguided. But that doesn't mean the rule should not be followed. Or does it, in your view? That's what we have been talking about.
Read and understand what you are saying in your own post before castigating others who do understand what you are saying.
As I said before, the strong feelings about whether the closure is good or bad has been beaten much harder in other threads, and it's probably not dead. That's where you should direct your attention. Don't characterize a discussion you do not understand as insane, ridiculous or stupid.
