That's probably because they camped without television, electronic stuff and A/C.
Now, many want to take their living room to the CG while they're 'getting away from it all', go figure.

Mine is so quiet I cannot hear it inside the camper when t's running.

My question is, shouldn't other campers know the rules themselves and should not be into others' if they are not in violation of those rules -- and if they are, they should approach the camp host or rangers. That's certainly what I'll do. Or is it just men camp ethics and protocol.
So, you were running your generator from 7 am to 10 pm. Someone asked you to turn it off for a couple hours so their baby could sleep. And your response is they shouldn't bring a baby because it might cry during the night???
There is no rule banning babies from camping. There are rules about generator use. Seems you are being a bit selfish.
Oh, and many places limit generator use outside of quiet hours. Are you certain the place you were at didn't have "generator hours" outside of the quiet hours?
Me thinks we need some literacy and reading comprehension lessons here.
Or, know what meds to prescribe when someone is hearing things that's not been said nor written.
For chrissakes, if I'm running my generator from 7 am to 10 pm and it's within the campsite's prescribed noise level limits, then bottom line, it's nobody else's business as I'm in compliance and I'm within my rights.
To be blunt about it, it's not my business if anyone brings their baby. It becomes mine when I'm in my campsite and I'm being prevented from doing something within my rights. The generator is being shut down out of courtesy and again, if the tone is so much demanding, he would have heard something more rude and yes, that one-finger salute.

That explains it. Champion Dual Fuel non inverter 3600 rpm noise box. I'd have you turn it off too. Don't worry, I'd never camp next to you. I camp on my own land 99% of the time. Donb't do the next to thing.

What kind of generator?
I was going to ask but you beat me to it...
If it was a open frame noise maker I'd ask to shut it off too. and if it continued I'd wait for dark and trundle over there and pour in a cup full of pop in the gas tank. But never having camped in a campground with other campers, it was never an issue for us even though we run a quiet inverter unit.
Of course we don't have ac in the RV or at home. Never needed it.
I have a Champion dual fuel and set on propane and with noise dampening enclosure. And I did measure dB level for each set up before I even set camping. Read campground rules too.
And yes, you'll be going back with all your front teeth knocked out and maybe some broken bones should I see you attempting that on my generator or camper. And that camping ethics says you have to tell the host if your camping neighbor has violation in camping rules?
But let me guess...
