Re: "In Portland, a group of boaters actually posted a security guard at the dock..."

Martin,
  The initial article that was published by WW entitled "The Dock" caused the dock to turn into a party spot and was promoted as such by the WW. With people smoking and drinking and essentially blocking access for boaters who were simply trying to access the river, which is the one reason that the dock exist, river access. 
  Do you forget the female breast cancer survivors dragonboat team who couldn't even access their boat for an evening practice and were verbally accosted by a drunk, jack daniels bottle weilding "citizen" when they tried to move through the crowd?! This is what caused a security guard to get placed there, protection of boats and boaters trying to access the river, not keeping the public out. 
  It amazing that you forget all of those events that were essentially the result of the publishing of that article. 

Still not getting your facts straight, I'm not surprised.
