Sycamore Laughing, I don't understand what you mean by, "Wizard, and now DCR, seem to think I am wrong for reserving judgement in the same way with their "enemy" AZ Mike. I disagree for the same reasons given above."

I don't think I've ever said I disagree with you. I have already stated that I also reserve judgement about all the DCHS - Bowen ranch disputes. And AZ Mike is not my enemy, although he doesn't sound like someone I would ever value as a friend ... but he will determine that outcome by his actions.
