Actually "my observations" IS personal. What you "observe" is colored by your own personality, etc. That you then explain that as a nearly lifelong businessman you do this all the time proves that.
I do not go around observing how every business runs - perhaps because I am not a nearly lifelong businessman, but more likely because I don't see the point in an essay on the problems of the RV Park business model.
Perhaps you would have different responses if you posted this on a businessman forum - where you are likely find other nearly lifelong businessmen who enjoy dissecting business models.
To combine your two threads, I would suggest that none of the types of RVers really care about the business model of an RV Park.
So I gather from what you write that you are someone that believes that NO ONE can view any issue objectively and not through a lens of personal bias. I hope that's not true but it is what you wrote.
Frankly I find that absurd. If I had only seen everything in business through my personal lens of what I liked or disliked I would never had been able to run several successful businesses or dealt with the many many personnel and business decisions one has to make every day.
Any one who decides their business by those personal standards is bound to fail. So I will repeat: This is not personal.
And it is clear in the post as NO one, nor is any specific park named. Had I done that you would be right it would have been personal.
The only thing "Personal" are some of the responses to me. But that is ok.
And WHY would RV'ers NOT care about business models of RV,parks? How RV Parks operate and do business affects all of us every time we visit one.
I think what irritates people about my post is not what I am saying,or even how I said it, but as one poster put it, that I said it at all. By pulling back the curtain to talk about the good, bad and ugly it has made some unusually uncomfortable and overly defensive. Perhaps they feel it is an attack on their chosen lifestyle or vacation choices. Neither which is true.
Then also I do have a couple of "fans", you being one, that seem to follow me around the forum to do no more than disagree with me in rather personal terms with no regard for what I have actually said.
Hopefully we will someday find a subject on which we can agree?
Of course there are also those who do not want any sort of thoughtful discussion on this site. They prefer the inane one-liner, emoticon jammed, snarky response filled thread on a Gas station rant. I am sorry but those subjects just don't interest me very much. And if this topic didnt interest you or anyone else the response to it is rather surprising.
