RE: Keeping Non Members off the field
Echo....I don't think the problem is necessarily "what have we become". Sure, some of the reactions are out of line, but what's really at issue are individuals that are trespassing.Yes, they can be bullied off the property, or they can be invited to stay or come back under the rules. But, what they're doing in the first place is in fact trespassing and unfortunately in this day an age, (it's been my experience that) people are more than willing to do whatever they want if they think they can get away with it, and I think that's societal. A guy rolls up, sees a decent place to fly and thinks "if anyone says anything, I'll leave" not even considering the fact that it MUST be someone else's property andhe shouldn't enter it. "It isn't wrong until someone TELLSme it's wrong." A public park and an unused farmer's field or an empty-at-night industrial park aren't the same things, but people don't see it that way.
