I never defended people for being rude.  I simply pointed out a fact of life living on a lake and it sounds to me like you are responsible while your neighbors either don't care about the waves or are not taking proper care of their property. 

I was raised to respect others and teach my kids to be likewise.  Last year someone that was skiing at the slalom course in Sandy Creek followed my kids (they were on jet skis) all the way home to compliment them for leaving the area of the slalom course when they came to ski it because they knew it would disturb the water.  So don't bother lecturing me and accusing me of not being raised correctly because I point out the truth about lake living.  And don't blame me if I accept the fact that there will be waves and act appropriately versus whining about it on the forum to people who likely don't act irresponsibly anyway. 

Preaching to the choir may make you feel good but it doesn't resolve anything.  If waves bother someone fix their property so it won't impact them.  Complain to the MP if it makes you feel better.  Blow horns, shake your fist, flip them the bird, do whatever makes you feel better.  It doesn't bother me either way because I am not going to spend any mental energy worrying about a problem that I can't fix.
