And no, I have never posted in this forum under the handle Happysoaker. Check. There are no "happysoaker" posts in this forum. That's solely my handle for a completely independent forum, being more suitable for that forum (in my opinion -- and no, I don't take seriously your challenge to my right to choose my own handles for this or any other forum), and I was happy to admit from the get-go in both forums that it was me using the two different handles for the two different forums. No crime in that guys, sorry. And no crime in me, Sungirl2, outlawHEART (and undoubtedly many other people too afraid to post here because of the attacks they know they will get from you guys if they say something legitimate and unfortunate on the topic of perverts or discourteous guys at DCHS) happening to see eye-to-eye about that topic, just as you guys see eye-to-eye about it.
FYI, I have a female friend who visited DCHS for the first time recently (not with me) and a male gawker spoiled a part of her trip. But she will not post about that on this forum, simply due to the attacks she fears she will get from you guys, merely by posting the fact that a pervert bothered her at DCHS.
Anyway, as predicted, I posted my support for the point outlawHEART made, who in turn was thanking Kingnate2000 for his pervert-warning, and instead of getting calm, rational discussions of our point, I get useless and irrelevant attempts to attack me personally. Silly and predicable ad hominum. And in this case, your ad hominum attacks and assumptions are not only irrelevant to the point (as all ad hominum attacks are) but they happen to be ridiculously incorrect.
And is a female's use of the shower, in a very discrete way, face down, when no one is around, "perverted"? Not in my book, but if it is I am not alone. Here is what Paul P. originally had to say about that, FYI:

Mellowguy, thanks for one of the most excellent trip reports we've had here at the forum. You captured both the profound quintessential essence of the experience, as well as the unfortunate downside that occurs due to continuing population growth and the influx of undesirables. I'll have to admit that the "shower" is also my wife's favorite part of the Deep Creek experience and it never disappoints ;-). Also glad you had a positive and safe camping experience.
Sorry about the fact that you guys disagree with me about certain issues, and it is apparent that I really pushed your buttons on the topic of perverts and discourteous men. But what I have posted are merely my views, and I have every right to express them. Attack me personally all you want, but the views and points which I, outlawHEART, Sungirl2, Kingnate, and others have expressed stand and fall on their own merits, just as yours do or don't, and that would be the case even if a hydra-headed monster were expressing them. But none of us, or you folks, are hydra-headed monsters, just fellow DCHS users who enjoy the beauty there, so it would be nice to recognize that and return some healthy civility to this discourse. I am happy to extend that olive branch of civility here, whether you want to accept it or not.
