[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would ask Jeff to look into sock puppeting on this thread and other ones, there is clearly one person who has an axe to grind (probably lost out on buying a house in this area or is angry at someone who lives here) and frequently posts the same things. It's unhinged. I live in this area and it doesn't bother me at all. It never comes up with neighbors. It's just not an issue at all.  [/quote]

Why is it unhinged to have a strong opinion? My motivation is to help change things for the better (which cannot be done if we pretend there’s no issue), make people aware of the situation (so they can make an informed choice), and highlight the serious health risk (which are as of yet little known and understood).

This reminds me of the neighbors attacking the family that volunteered to report the planes for the purposes of supporting the neighborhood effort to negotiate with the FAA. They were attacked as the unhinged loner and a crazy by some neighbors. I guess that’s life. People really wanted to out them too and attack them personally just for reporting the truth but to this day haven’t found out who it is.

I don’t know about anyone else but I think there are several posters on this thread and no one is pretending to be different people. I respect your opinion, respect the others’ opinions too. You are welcome to disagree, ideally with the fact base to match.

Unfortunately or fortunately, all you need to do is stand at a location for 10 minutes and use your phone to measure dB and frequency of the planes. There are tables online that tell you what that level of noise does to you whether you tune it out or not. You can’t measure the pollution but you can read the studies.

Your neighbors are working to change things. So maybe it’s nice to not start the witch-hunts to undermine the efforts.[/quote]
