I've always heard that when you have to call people names in a discussion, you have lost the discussion.

:bang: ...STOP IT, BMBW!!!! Hard headed is not name calling. It really sounds like you have a beef with Smiling JOe and Bobby J! Do you? :idontno:

I haven't researched Surfrider too much, but "open access" does not mean the ability to tresspass on private property owners land to enter the beach. Access, refers to a point of entry. Again, you are being rather stubborn and come off rather hard headed.

Since we obviously don't agree, and therefore I am hard headed, does that mean you, on the other side of the discussion, are soft headed?

Shame.

No. Can't we have a civil discussion about BMB issues without getting hysterical, start calling names, and exaggerating positions of interest?

with apologies to wikipedia;
Mass hysteria

Main article: Mass hysteria

The term also occurs in the phrase mass hysteria to describe mass public near-panic reactions. It is commonly applied to the waves of popular medical problems that "someone repeatedly asks the same thing over and over" in response to news articles.

A similar usage refers to any sort of "public wave" phenomenon, and has been used to describe the periodic widespread reappearance and public interest in UFO reports, beach access, and similar examples. Also, when information, real or fake, becomes misinterpreted but believed, e.g. surfrider's mission statement.

Hysteria is often associated with movements like the Salem Witch Trials, McCarthyism, the First Red Scare, the Second Red Scare, Terrorism, and Satanic ritual abuse, where it is better understood through the related sociological term of moral panic over someone walking on the sand.

i think the beating the dead horse photo is about to rear it's ugly head. BMBW, still hoping for a well thought out response to any of my replies that you asked for.

According to two of the five homeonwers on Montgomery St, they do not own the stretch of property located between the Gulf and the five homeonwers on Montgomery St. There was question of County abandonment of that property, but they are not claiming that property to belong to them. Didn't you go to that meeting?

Waste of time and energy...more condescending and patronizing remarks.
You know the answer to that question.

More shame.

Are you suggesting that I am exaggerating the facts? Believe me, if I were to name call, I would use some big fancy words. You are asking the same old question over and over again, and Bobby has continued to answer. You are misinterpreting the words given. That is being hard-headed. I don't know you and don't have anything agains you. You just don't seem to grasp the definitions of the words used in context. I think you are reading far to deeply into this matter.

BMBWalker, YOU are the one who asked the question to give specific examples of Beach Front property owners who do not own to the mean high water mark. I gave them. What is your beef? Are you just trying to stir the puddin'?

The guard that checked your papers last night and gave you access to BMB was fired this morning.

Bobby...do you have any negative issues with the high-impact use of a 75 foot stretch of BMB used for commercial interest by Redfish Village? As I understand it, you are a director of Surfrider.

I am not the director. As I stated earlier our territory is PC to Pensacola. My role has been more about Fund raising, education, beach cleanup and new members. It seems we have issues on every corner. I will address this issue at the next meeting if you would like to attend? A couple of our members live in BMB so I am sure they would be more helpful then me. I need more info on the subject to comment. I was unaware this was a high-impact use. I was told this was a beach walkover that could be used by Redfish and the general public. I must say I like beach walkovers. Its how we get to the beach so we can go on our long walks.
