Since it seems to be de rigeur to open with a remark about Emily, I will... quote:
but you are coming across as a whiny little girl. You're right boi, she does come across that way, but the rest of the posters don't come across in a very favourable light either. I've gone back over the thread, and Emily wasn't out of line in the least, perhaps a little snarky with her "broken fun meter" crack, until after she was jumped on by a certain masked lady who seemed to be in a very bad mood. And the rest piled on like a pack of hounds worrying a fox. In fact, to my eye, it isn't the 18-year old who looks bitchy and immature, quite the contrary. All the "adults" piling on with insults and put downs while demanding the kid behave like an adult. I think she did a better job of that than most of the others. This goes particularly for the raccoon fetish ploy. That was just petty, childish and stupid. For shame! Oh, and thishereboi, I'm not singling you out, I just used your post to pick the quote from. Now on to the OP...what can I say? Tough it out and register empty complaints? I guess so, but that seems a little wimpy and it's what has been done all along to no avail. So i say you fight back! If the local authorities won't do anything about it, maybe you should organize the local populace for next year. Form posses and make citizen's arrests if what these guys are doing is illegal. Or even just put up posters claiming that such posses are going to be out patrolling. The threat of armed bands of civilians roaming the countryside will force the cops' hands. They will have to patrol them selves, and they will have to arrest the guys with the home made pyros. And if no such posse ever heads out, the cops can't arrest any of your side. You guys just all head out of town and have a picnic on the days you are supposed to be out vigilantizing. Not very pretty, but it will work. You have to keep in mind that the cops work for you, if they are lax in the performance of their duties, force the issue. Shame them into doing their job.
