I agree with you KA. Every time I have said something about lake behavior I am told either just talk to the person or just accept it because it will never change. I do not agree with either one of these responses.

Almost every time I have addressed a rude boater rationally I have been flipped off and dock-buzzed worse than before. I think the problem you highlight is coming to blows. It is excelling out of control. Every year we home owners are asked to endure more and more nonsense to the point that we cannot even expect to sleep in our own homes (right 1 am er?). The stereos are getting louder and the complete lack of consideration for another person's home is more outright.

This lack of consideration is blooming in every corner of our society, sometimes erupting into unbelievable crimes. Anyone who thinks we live in isolation from the anger and chaos in American culture is a fool.

But I do not think it is foolish to put out a sign that is a permanent gentle reminder that someone does live in this house. Then when people do what they do, it is clear what their intention is. The scab will blow off this blister one day. So we should make an effort to have a conversation before it is too late.
