HOTPE....'The protesters are legends in their own minds."
Each group has them, unfortunately even here on Punatalk.
Yes they do.
But how does each group manifest their opinion?
* Do the legends on Punaweb prevent other members from using the forum, as the protestors have done with the astronomy community?
* Do the legends of Punaweb intentionally and continuously repeat false statements in an attempt to force their minority view on everyone?
We might have an occasional irritating troll or two here, but even they don't sink to the tactics above. The worst you can say about Punaweb Legends may be that other members may not agree with their opinion, they steam a little while and write a reply. But then afterward they can go about their business.
That's not true of the Mind Legends of Access Road. They are up there obstructing free passage, public access to a part of the island we all should be free to visit if we wish, and preventing people from reaching their place of work. Hundreds of local contractors don't receive a weekly paycheck. Every taxpayer on island or across the state will pay.
When's the last time someone on Punaweb cost you money, out of pocket?
