YOUR missing the point SAXE I asked DFO is it on a southerly line and they couldn't answer the question for me ... thats where the problem is... nothing else I agree with what you are saying it has to be way more clearer for all of us. WOULD you listen to what Im saying it states
(west longitude (in line with the radio tower located at Otter Point).”
well sheringham is almost DUE west and we know that isnt the line....
Why I get the hackles up is for one reason WE should all be pissed at this stupid blunder if your siding with DFO and the killing of fishing so be it .im almost done in this game as people do not get how badly DFO is killing our communities and I doubt either do you marinas are empty no one is out etc...
Im done with all of this crap DFO has don,e if you went to all the meeting ive been to in 20 years you would have seen how much they have screwed us over ....
Have a god day Wolf
I am not missing the point at all Wolf - you are missing it, and very badly.
Whatever some person from DFO did or did not say to you in response to your query is irrelevant, despite the fact you say “that’s where the problem is.” As I have pointed out - and many others agree - the rule is clear and the location of the boundary line is easy to determine. You never explain why my explanation is wrong or why it is not simple.
You even mischaracterize the very point I have been making. You say “I agree with what you are saying it has to be way more clearer for all of us.” But that’s not what I am saying at all. In fact, I have been saying precisely the opposite:
it is crystal clear to anyone.
You then say this, as though I am ignoring your point:
“WOULD you listen to what Im saying it states
(west longitude (in line with the radio tower located at Otter Point).”
well sheringham is almost DUE west and we know that isnt the line....”
What you are saying there is incomprehensible and doesn’t refute my points.
You then go on a tirade that is entirely beside the point, wrongly suggesting that I’m “siding with DFO and the killing of fishing”, that I don’t “get how badly DFO is killing our communities”.
I suggest you keep your passions in check and your hackles down and instead focus on making comprehensible and logical arguments in support of your position. Casting unfounded and irrelevant aspersions on those who disagree with you does not advance your position.
This discussion has prompted people to raise three issues and it is useful to keep them separate:
1. Is the Otter Point Boundary clear and easy to identify? Along with others, I argue that it is.
2. Does it matter if people fail or refuse to respect the boundary specifically, and the fishing regulations generally? This involves an examination of the ethics and the culture of fishing and those who fish, and the rule of law generally. Again, along with others, I say it’s important to respect all the rules, irrespective whether I think they are sensible or not. If a person doesn’t think the rules are appropriate (see issue 3) the democratic process allows for them to be removed or changed.
3. Are the rules appropriate? A big subject about which people will likely disagree to some extent, depending on the rule in question. I (and most) haven’t commented on this as it has nothing to do with the first two issues. There’s been lots of ink spilled about this in other threads.
