No one and I mean no one seemed to concerned and the opinion was that they would keep flying as they have always done until told by the authorities otherwise. I only had models with me at four of the fields but I flew with them and other than a spotter standing with me (at my request) there was no concern about speed, altitude or anything else except safety.

Shortly I will be traveling across the North East part of the US I wonder if the feelings are going to be the same. I am by the way having a great time flying in Canada without any restrictions hoping it works out the same in the end for those of you who fly rather than beat the keyboard,

I mentioned all the arguing I read on this and other forums and got a lot of laughter and less than kind remarks about keyboard jockeys who have nothing better to do. I guess every site has a half dozen or so with nothing better to do than attempt to cause distention. A few even noted that some of the same guys show up on other sites trying to stir similar pots. Lot of these guys have stopped actively participating because of this.

Sounds to me like they have you guys pegged. Speed I wonder if everyone stopped arguing with them if they would eventually turn on their own and eat each other LOL!!!!!
Meanwhile, Sepulveda Basin is shut down. Other clubs, one in particular, discussing how they're being told to comple with the LAANC grid max altitudes (Cochella Valley I believe). They just haven't gotten around to other places yet. But they will. When there's a authorization for controlled airspace signed by the FAA administrator that limits altitudes in controlled airspace to the LAANC grid values, I don't see locals over-ruling that.

As of now they have the luxury of not being concerned. As news of more and more fields being limited, I suspect your sampling at one point in time may not hold true for too long.
