In another thread discussing someone building an airstrip next to a possibly

It is different, because we are dealing here with the environmental

They DO NOT WISH to negotiate or compromise! Just read their website and
see. Also, those bringing the harassment suits are "not STN," but
"individual persons who happen to be STN members." (plauaible
deniability here)
