I'm waiting to respond to see if anyone else answers, to test your suggestion that it is just general give and take.
Without rancor, sarcasm, or being facetious, I didn't suggest, I asked it as a question. Again without rancor, so if you quote what somebody writes, and ask a question you are only intending the person quoted to answer? But its on a public message board that everybody can see? So for example if another individual besides you answers me right now, I am not going to write back and tell that individual the question wasn't intended for them because its on a public board. If you want only one person to answer a question wouldn't you just send a personal message? I clicked below your icon, where its say 11,186 posts. I read quite a few them. It seems to me many of your posting are not in reply to a solicitation to you. Seriously I am not trying to bust your chops, I am just perplexed by the logic of it.
I took down that post almost immediately, since it was wrong. I'm happy to admit mistakes.
When you posted it, actually I chuckled and almost responded, "rite!". I didn't take offense at it until you chided me for answering the question you posed, that I thought was for general dialog, than it seemed hypocritical, again saying this without rancor. Thank you for admitting you were wrong. That doesn't seem to happen here very much. I apologized to two individuals here, neither acknowledged the apology. Or apologized in kind. In my observation there is a lot doubling down on arguments that lack merit with respect to logic or reason (I don't mean you) on this board.
I feel pretty strongly about this. Trying to snag me with a fishing hook is attempted murder. Coexistence of divers and fisherpeople with malice in mind is not possible. The two need to be separated in space or time, preferably. For example, most of the divers are there at HT +/- 1 hour. Let the fisherpeople have the rest of the day, but NOT during that time. Put them on the old bridge, even the
And since I have you here let me ask another question if you don't mind. If the fisherpeople were limited to HT +/- 1 hour, wouldn't LE have to enforce that? So if LE has to be there to enforce this 2 hour window, why can't LE be there during the same window to prevent somebody from "attempted murder"?
FWC officers arrest individuals for poaching of alligators, deer, hog, and other creatures on land. They arrest and ticket individuals for outright poaching of fish, lobsters and crabs, or exceeding catch limits, or for keeping shorts all the time, its what they do. They are good at their jobs, and they are good at sussing out individuals that are up to no good. Any FWC officer worth his salt would be able to recognize an individual trying to snag divers as opposed to actually fishing in an instant. If FWC checked licenses on the bridge two or three times a week at high tide for a month, do you think the malicious fisherperson is going to continue showing up for trying to snag divers? If somebody else besides you wants to answer that's fine, or not, its all good.
