DBD and Sierra Nevada, are you two arguing? If you are, I am sure wondering what point each of you is trying to make.
Steve, I went back through this entire thread before responding. My point should come through in a consistent theme that LADWP's lawsuit against Mammoth is a misguided strategy and they should stop the aggressive legalistic approach to every problem. It's very similar to what Mammoth Community Water District wrote in their summary that requests LADWP to negotiate rather than sue. I included quotes, historical facts, links, and even some Dr Suess humor to try to illustrate my point.
My quote of former LADWP Manager David Freeman was called into question - I had to go back and find the exact link as if I made it up. There's another common theme in this thread - anything negative about LADWP's history is labeled a "misrepresentation" and "manipulation." The argument seems to be that the farmers all sold their land fair and square and now LADWP is under attack.
And most recently, the idea that LADWP could actually turn around their public image by acting in a more diplomatic manner seems like it's being mocked.
All this is typical web forum banter, nothing a little thick skin can't ward off as long as it doesn't get personal.
