I believe your takeaway from all this is faulty. I believe that while none of us "camp" next to other people running generators night and day all the time, many of us have had to camp next to other people running generators outside of campground generator rules. While one day in a campground with someone running their loud generator for one hour isn't unbearable (as long as it's done during the day), a long weekend or week with someone running their loud generator on and off all day and night IS enough to complain about.
As is the truth with most threads of this manner, posters are not going to admit that they ignore the campground rules and run their gennies more than is allowed. Perhaps those on this board don't. But there are a lot of folks out there who do.
What you can takeaway from this thread is that if you are at an event type setting where round the clock generator use is an acceptable factor, then it is OK to use your generator around the clock. If you are "camping", then follow the campground's rules regarding generators. If the rules don't meet your personal desires regarding generators (whether they are allowed to run too much or not enough), then find another place to camp.
Well, if my takeaway is "faulty" then so is your since you agree with almost everything I mentioned. Noisy events, expect noise. Otherwise, obey the rules or avoid those places where generators are commonly used.
