1. No one put a gun to your head and forced you to read it. No one even asked you to read it. Sorry you wasted your valuable time. The "block member" feature may help you in the future avoid any further annoyances.

2. My 35 years of life in a Florida tourist town does give me some knowledge of the subject.

Well there you go confirming my earlier assessment of your lack of tolerance. You also ignored the bulk of my post.

So yep, I think I've got you figured out and can say you do not represent the Floridians I've met over the years.

Your state does everything it can to entice folks to visit and spend money but you reserve the right to demand absolutely no intrusion upon your lifestyle. It ain't ever gonna happen that way so you might as well get get used to it and quit your whining.

I don't like loud cel-phone conversations in restaurants, kids running amok in banks and other primarily adult limited stores, tailgaters, left lane bandits, but guess what; I suck-it-up-buttercup and soldier on.

Life is full of necessary compromise and this will be one you'll have to make or move yourself to the back of beyond in Monatana because human nature is what it is and you're inviting snowbirds into your state for a reason that far outweighs your personal comfort.
