He specifically says that he isn't planning to use it in a campground. Perhaps he has a piece of land somewhere, perhaps he is planning to use a truck stop or Walmart. We don't know. It doesn't sound like he is planning to fire up the generator in a "crowded campground where the noise affects lots of folks".
Here is another direct quote from the first post:
"Where do you guys stay when using this type of generator? Any issues?"
The next 5 pages have been a lively, civil, discussion of the pro's and cons of open frame generators.

Bang for the buck they work quite well in those applications.
The problems arise when folks trying to justify their use in campgrounds influence others who don't know any better.
