So many causes for this reaction :
- We have to admit the DG community has a reputation for doing the types of things Noill Golf listed. A few years ago I went to the VA State Frisbee Championship, I thought I had traveled back to the late 60s.
- Far too many huckers run around shirtless, blaring music and profanity
- DG opens up many parks that otherwise would just be woods. But then some DGers (and others that roam the now open woods) leave trash, write graffiti all over the place, cause erosion, etc.
- some courses are put where they interfere with or endanger other park users
But ...
Like many have said generally it's a matter of non-DGers not bothering to look past the few to see the benefits of DG.
In general, it comes back to the DG community to self regulate the few and IF we want broad acceptance we can't just dig in and demand respect without earning it.
