[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I said the argument, not the arguer, was stupid.

Which it is.

So if you want to continuing arguing to the broader community that badly wants a swimming pool in their own part of town that a reason they shouldn't get one is because the immediate neighbors are worried about looking at a shuttered facility part of the year go right ahead and continue looking vain and stupid and I'll add selfish."

I favor preserving the park for future generations, how is that selfish?

And by the way, your post contradicts itself, which is stupid. [/quote]

Love love love the faux environmental arguments from the immediate neighbors.

DPR=Department of Parks and Recreation

There should be some recreation at our public parks.

How again does adding a pool take aware the park from future generations?

Currently [b]no one in a future generation uses the park in summer because of the under used tennis courts that are there for the current aging generation.[/b]

Your arguments are vain, selfish and stupid.  If you want to make the inference that you are vain selfish and stupid that is on you.[/quote]

I guess your rude and course message is a sign of today's mean times.  You sound like the person who actually has been sending pointed emails to various longtime residents of the neighborhood, telling them to move on and make way for younger people.  Incredible but true.[/quote]

Nope I haven't been emailing people such a message though given the incredibly inaccurate characterizations of facts coming from the immediate neighbors I'm willing to be bet this characterization is inaccurate too.

But is the underlying message untrue? Is it not the case that a lightly used rec amenity popular with older residents (the tennis courts) are staying instead of a much more popular rec amenity (a pool) for younger residents.

At this point it really feels like the message from the immediate neighbors is that this is their park and how dare anyone come along and question how it is used or their wacky and speculative arguments against changing the park.[/quote]
