Outdoor "decorative" lighting RANT!
Ok, I have four solar lights that I put out near the door to light a pathway in and out to walk the dog. I've got some outside lights that we burn for a gathering. BUT some people are over the top. ...

It's true that your site is your business, but lights don't stay on your site.
No wonder we have so many "rules" these days. Too many think that every behavior that isn't forbidden by some kind of "rule" must be ok. Those non-ruled things some people avoid doing anyway are called courtesy.
it is true that lights on one site are confined to that site .... the same is true of campfire smoke/smell and any other number of things .... it would appear that to some folks courtesy should only extend one way .... in other words, things that aren't against the CG's rules on my site which we enjoy while camping offend someone, I should be courteous and not enjoy them .... however, the person who chooses to be offended has no obligation to respect the legal preferences of their neighbor ..... I had no clue that courtesy was a one way street ..... interesting logic, very interesting logic
