You make a statement.

You make a statement when you run a ****table generator in an anchorage. As
a 
matter of fact you make at least half a dozen statements:


1) My 120 volt frivolities are more im****tant than your peace and quiet.

2) My unnecessary noise-making is more im****tant than your enjoying the 
ambience of an anchorage where you and many others go to get away from it 
all.

3) I'm not capable of enjoying life without being plugged into the grid so
I 
take the grid with me and make noise and pollute. If you don't like it
then 
go to hell. You can always move. Just because I anchored half a boat
length 
upwind of you doesn't give you any right to complain. I'll damned well 
anchor and make noise anywhere I want!

4) I must be the center of attention. That's why when all the boats in the

anchorage are enjoying the peace and quiet I delight in making noise for
an 
hour or two or more at a time (even late at night) so I can watch
television 
or my wife can blow dry her hair. Nobody else matters but me and mine! My 
desires outweigh those of the many.

5) If I'm not running the generator then my dog's constant barking annoys
me 
so I run the generator to drown out the noise of the barking. And, when
I'm 
not running my ****table generator I've got my noisy wind generator
providing 
the racket. Never mind everybody else must listen to all three! Other
people 
don't matter to me.

6) The noise of my ****table doesn't generally bother me and if it does I 
just run it while I go to shore in the dinghy to do some sight seeing. I 
don't give a hoot if you have to listen to it. If it bothers you then try 
going to shore too.


These and other such reasons all come down to one very clear point - You
are 
a self-centered, rude, obnoxious jerk.
