Ok I'll Bite..... I think most people know the difference between jest and not and your also forgetting that there are people in this thread advocating legal ways to overcome light pollution issue. I do not advocate damage to public utilities but this thread does have some basic usefulness and this may be informative to users who have to put up with light pollution.

Sorry to burst your bubble what some people say and what they actually do is not the same and in any case saying you did something is not proof of illegality in a court unless you state it in court or an affidavit to police or magistrate. Of course you know people or energy suppliers cannot go an get names and addresses from users (I/P) on this forum without a police investigation, court order/warrant...and that won't happen on the information posted so far. Big brother is not watching and to say so is vexatious!

And some people see excessive lighting as nothing but light pollution. I also pay my bills and rely on street lighting but sometimes it is intrusive.....especially if it is shining into your bedroom at night....some people like cats some don't!

I agree but you can understand the frustration of people trying correct channels that lead nowhere and as I said what some people say they do and what they actually do are 2 different things. That said I agree with this, damage to public property is not on.

Not laughing it off but I feel that you made some statements that implied people were being watched ...the corollary of this they would be found and charged ...is laughable.
